Something about porn leading the way, something about DVDs winning, something about VHS winning.

All of that doesn't matter.
Because Linux desktop (in my experience, KDE Plasma and Wayland) along with distros that do sensible things (I use EndeavourOS btw) are just SO much better that Windows.
I only boot windows for software I have to run windows with fullscreen or GPU based software that doesn't exist on linux

Why do you think Wayland is better than x11?

Mostly asking from a user experience angle. I know Wayland supports some features x11 doesn’t. What I’ve read also makes x11’s code sound like a big mess, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for usability.

I’ve struggled a bit with getting games to run after moving to pop os 24.04 from 22.04 and I think the problems are Wayland related for much of it, but I haven’t tried other distros to rule out cosmic.

Just curious, what are these extra features that wayland supports but x11 doesn't?
