GNOME's Wayland Shows Potential for Better Battery Life

Really excited for Wayland.

Especially for 2035 when it's a drop in replacement for Xorg.

Wayland became the default in Fedora maybe 2 years ago. I'm still using X.Org on my desktop (nvidia card), and _experimenting_ with Wayland on my laptop.

I love the touchpad screen gestures and overall it's a solid experience, but screensharing e.g. in Zoom is still kind of broken or not working as expected. Not really a drop-in replacement. :(

Is there a good resource for a software engineer, but a layman when it comes to window managers like X or Wayland, can learn more about this stuff?

Maybe https://bootlin.com/doc/training/graphics/graphics-slides.pd...

Noticed some improvement when I forced Chrome to use Wayland over XWayland in Gnome 41

Would be more interesting to see i3 vs sway.
