If anyone wants to give an ELI5 or a link to a video that ELI5 I’d be incredibly thankful

I swear that all the stuff I find is like super in depth technical stuff that just loses me in no time flat

    what exactly is the point of running wayland if you are going to run less secure X apps with 94% of the same vulnerabilities?

    When running Wayland, one X server is started per X application. So that application won’t be able to e.g. keylog others.

    I personally don’t care about security here, it’s all about a flicker free Multi-monitor experience with different refresh rates per monitor. X just can’t do that under any circumstances.

      I run X in a multi monitor setup with different refreshrates AND resolutions and it is flicker free, I think that honestly is something that comes down more to your window manager or even your graphics rather than just X itself.

      That particular vulnerability is one of the 6% that Wayland doesn’t have.
