On the topic of why people still say Wayland is slow, it probably was much much slower and only years of successive improvement in both the DE and base library got it up there in speed.

Personally I joined Linux recently and don’t understand all the beef with Wayland, but it does seem to work very well for me, so I’m happy enough with it.

    A lot of people are holding legacy grudges about issues that have long since been fixed.

    NVIDIA drivers used to be absolute hell on Linux, now they work decently well outside of some specific, older, hardware. But, if you listen to social media commentors (the source of all wisdom), you'd think that trying to boot a Linux machine with an NVIDIA card is literally(-figuratively) suicide.
