It looks like the #cube is back.

I heard (regarding other aspects) wayland has changed a lot in the past couple months.
anyone know where rolling benchmark comparisons or more recent comparisons (perhaps even across more hardware) ma be?

Try enabling gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled
in about:config
to force the use of EGL1 and then restart the web browser.
If this works, enabling layers.acceleration.force-enabled
can boost your performance even more by enabling OpenGL alongside EGL. 2
This also works on Flatpak if the security permissions are correct (use Flatseal3 if needed).

I'm still on the journey to using #Wayland rather than #X11 but there are a few issues which I'm not sure how to resolve.
Here's the scenario that I'm currently looking at. I have a separate #touchscreen which I can attach to my #laptop via an #HDMI connection. I can configure it to extend the usual monitor, say to the right. However, when I touch the touchscreen, it registers movement on the laptop's monitor even though I'm touching a location which should be to the right of it. With an X window set up, I can remap things using #xinput so that the touch is registered correctly but I haven't figured out a way of doing the same in Wayland. Does anybody have any ideas?
I wonder why in the latest update of #KDE #Plasma, the #DesktopSwitching #Animation no longer allows the #Cube effect. I quite liked that piece of #EyeCandy even though it's no big deal that it seems to have disappeared.
I've been looking at improving the usefulness of my separate #touchscreen when using a #program like #xournalpp for making sketches and writing on a display for other to see. It works OK with #X11 but the response to touches of the #stylus on the screen is a bit frustrating. However, with #Wayland, it seems to be so much better, which means the #hardware is fine and it's the #software that is not very sensitive.
The only issue I have now is that I can only get it work as a clone of the laptop display and not as a separate screen. This works with X11 though I have to adjust things a bit with #xinput. But in Wayland, touches on the screen as configured "to the right" of the main display map back to the #mouse #cursor on the main screen and not on the touchscreen itself. Does anyone have any ideas about a possible solution?
old/iophk: #x11 has to go. it is past time for removal. the question is whether there will someday be something to replace it. wayland seems stalled http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com/2011/04/linux-security-circus-on-gui-isolation.html
Today I had to give two different presentations in two entirely different places, neither of which had an #HDMI connection, which is the only #video output I have on my #laptop. Both still had #VGA, which is pretty ancient these days. Luckily, a few years ago, I bought an HMDI-to-VGA #adaptor but initially I had difficulty with using it, perhaps because of lack of full support in #KDE. Colours were sometimes different or flashed or gave some odd artefacts on the projected image. Happily, now things have been sorted out and everything worked really well. I was also using an extra #touchscreen and an #HDMI duplicator to send the signal to two outputs at once. Thanks to all the #FreeSoftware hackers who made this possible.
"Another tick in the box for #Wayland to eventually properly replace #X11 for all workloads, as the work on DRM lease protocol support aimed at VR has been merged in." https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/08/wayland-gets-drm-lease-protocol-support-to-help-vr-on-linux
