Nitpick: there is no "vs." ... because in the long run X11 is dead. After decades of serving us well it's not maintainable and not a good base to build anything on top that you want to continue maintaining in 5 or 7 years. Any warranty of a "cyber physical systems" is better off starting on Wayland IMHO

What issues are you facing with screen recording?

Can't say anything about NVIDIA because I avoid these chipsets like the plague (even for windows)



X11 will continue to exist and be maintained for decades. I would not even be surprised if it lasts longer than Wayland.


It already appears to be effectively dead. Pretty much all the commits in the repo are wayland related.


I am still using X and it is still working fine for what I need. Why would I need it to continue to be maintained?


> X11 is dead. After decades of serving us well it's not maintainable

Why not ? Is the wayland "maintainable " ?


The X11 maintainers said as much, then created Wayland?

This is just FUD.
