Before giving my verdict on this Wayland/sway experiment, let me explain that my experience on X11/i3 is really good. I don’t see any tearing or other artifacts or glitches in my day-to-day computer usage. I don’t use a compositor, so my input latency is really good

But I thought X11 didn't have compositors ? Just a window manager.

You can get a third-party compositor such as picom or distros such as KDE Plasma will come with their own. They can cause problems in my experience, do not recommend using them.

wot? I thought compiz was fairly well known but maybe I haven't kept up with what is or isn't well known nowadays, been using Linux for too long :D
