CBT Nuggets | Wayland vs X11 @cbtnuggets | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 day ago
Wayland and X11 are two different display server technologies that allow you to see your desktop and manage the windows each application and tool generates on the desktop. They have a lot in common, but they also have some key differences.
So, why use Wayland instead of X11?
✔ The first and most obvious reason is the reduced latency between opening an application and having it render on your desktop.
✔ Second, the simpler code that has been written for Wayland gives it a performance edge over X11.
✔ Third, it was designed with security in mind and is not vulnerable to the same types of attacks X11 is.
✔ And finally, the protocol that Wayland uses also makes it easier for designers and developers alike to create cross-platform apps, which have always suffered from problems rendering on Linux due to compatibility issues between various versions of GTK or Qt.

So which should you use? Ultimately, it comes down to your own needs and what makes sense for you and your organization.
