what is the difference between Wayland and xorg, why would you choose one over the other?
- This was answered previously in this thread: https://lemmy.ml/comment/10140174
- I use xorg on my desktop, because nvidia card don't have good support for my applications on wayland. Specifically, typing in electron app will jitter. I will be switching to wayland if this problem is solved.
  
  I use wayland on my laptop because it is more secure and supports one-to-one gesture, which is crucial for trackpad.
