I am running a dual PC streaming setup on Manjaro Linux via the wayland session, and have been doing so for some months now.

Game streaming is, TBH a better experience for me than it was on windows, since pipewire allows an audio setup that is far less janky than the rats nest of virtal audio cable drivers I used to deal with. Most games just run, others need minor tweaking, but no outright failures yet. OBS has been great under wayland and pipewire, no issues at all.

As far as day to day app use under wayland goes, everything has been smooth, and a better experience than on my work station where I used to run Manjaro plasma with the X session.

TLDR: It is time to leave X behind. Wayland and Pipewire are leading the charge on the new Linux desktop.

Thank you for helping to keep GamingOnLinux civil and safe!
