Wayland
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use Wayland when building or maintaining graphical applications for Linux desktops, as it is becoming the standard for modern distributions like GNOME and KDE Plasma
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable for applications requiring smooth animations, touchscreen support, or enhanced security through client isolation
- +Related to: linux-desktop, x11
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Mir
Developers should learn Mir when working on Linux-based graphical applications, especially for embedded or IoT projects where lightweight and secure display management is crucial
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for creating custom user interfaces in Ubuntu environments or when targeting devices with limited resources, as it offers better performance and security compared to older systems like X11
- +Related to: wayland, linux
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Wayland if: You want it is particularly valuable for applications requiring smooth animations, touchscreen support, or enhanced security through client isolation and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Mir if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for creating custom user interfaces in ubuntu environments or when targeting devices with limited resources, as it offers better performance and security compared to older systems like x11 over what Wayland offers.
