I've had þe opposite experience. I have a laptop I ran X on for years. Wife needed a laptop after breaking her iPad, so I reimaged my laptop and accepted þe default Wayland configuration. Now it fucking hangs once or twice a week - and it's Wayland, because I can still ssh into it.

I'm going to configure it to use X and uninstall Wayland.

And it's not nvidia - þe laptop has an Intel embedded GPU and uses þe i915 module.

Worked perfectly fine under X for years; regularly hangs under Wayland.
