as far as I know, one of wayland's selling points is VSync all the time, therefore a reduced power consumption in some cases and so on the speech goes. If players didn't want that from the beginning, also we know that the wayland security model breaks important stuff in the linux desktop, such as severely limiting accessibility untill it almost becomes unusable(can't say much more because of the char limit), then what is wayland good for? I'm running gnome and plasma with wayland atm, for some reason my computer indeed feels faster, however I'm still wondering to this day, will the wayland transition be a good thing in the end? Imho, we just replaced a bad thing with another, a big distributed sweet of components communicating with rpc and sockets with a monolithic program that does many things and every such program has to implement most of the same things over and over, ipc hell now gets replaced with wlroots or whatever not providing enough functionality, etc.
