Boring old X11 Gnome for me, it looks pretty, it's reliable and it has all the stuff I'd expect out of a desktop environment
Wayland doesn't play nice with my GPU and I've heard it's not great for gaming anyway

Gaming has been pretty good for me on GNOME Wayland.

Gaming on wayland now has more or less the same performance as on x11. Some things like vrr (atleast on plasma) is even better/easier on wayland than on x11
-
Vrr? Did you mean vr?
Also maybe I should try it on my PC then, haven't tested it there though can't really see any need for it as my monitors are similar resolution there
-
I meant variable refresh rate by vrr.

Well wayland may help if the refresh rates of the monitor is different. Also Wayland will be the only one supported in the future as if I understand correctly, X11 is no longer supported

One has 144hz 1440p and one is 60hz1080p, I've got one of them running on 170hz on x11 afaik, what's normally the problem with differing refresh rates?
-
Variable refresh rate changes the refresh rate of your screen dynamically according to in-game fps. Think Freesync and G-Sync.
-
What's the advantage of doing that? Surely just leaving the refresh rate at 170 and running at 60fps would be fine?
-
It's for eliminating tearing.
-
Can't say I've ever experienced any tearing but fair enough
