    Wayland, because anything I want to do is possible with wlroots compositors like sway. And if you don’t need a feature not yet implemented in wayland (e.g. screen tearing), wayland is usually the better experience.

    Obviously switching from X11 to a standalone Wayland compositor like sway involves changing out some apps, it’s a core component of your system afterall. But xrandr has it’s wayland alternatives, rofi has lbonn’s fork with wayland support, dmenu has it’s equivalent, etc. The X11 tools might work, but usually aren’t as good of a experience (e.g. rofi X11 might stay in the foreground while not being able to react to keypresses, rofi-wayland fixes this.).

    And I really like to try new things and be at the edge off new technology, so I really wanted to use wayland (And have been using it for years at this point).
