tbf to this thread, wayland wasn’t really viable until 2023.
I made an existing comment on this that people didn’t like because I pointed out that most of Wayland’s “modern upgrades” like VRR, HDR, etc were unimplemented or unfinished for years. Even HDR is still “beta” on KDE iirc.
People also like to pretend the triple buffer wasn’t a can of worms for many users for a very long time (and still is on low power devices).

















Ironically there actually is if you bother pirating content because that’s the only crowd that will share full 4k Dolby Vision + Dolby Atmos/DTS-X BluRay rips.
Aside from that though, even 4k gaming is a struggle because GPU vendors went into the deep end of frame generation, which also coincidentally is the same mistake lots of TV OEMs already made.
