    It doesn’t work well on NVIDIA RTX 3080 or AMD 7900 XT

    that is quite strange, not sure whats up with that.

    Wayland is bad. Wayland is VERY bad, in fact. It is by far the worst display technology of any major platform.

    You are correct, and X11 is pretty much neck to neck with it assuming they both work in how bad it is, but to be fair, X11 is a display server from the 80s that had no business making it this long without a properly functional competitor, and wayland, while it has been developed for 15 years, is still relatively young compared to other OSes.

    However what you say is true, none of that matters because why it’s the case makes no difference to an end user. Linux just has clearly inferior display solutions to any other mainstream OS i’ve seen. Only way I can possibly see that’s going to change is if wayland is able to take over, and if maybe, just maybe enough people involved with it can actually realize that maybe their display server should have basic features that have existed since the 90s. I understand they have a philosophy, but its practically the same philosophy as the macOS display server and they figured out how to make things functional without compromising their philosophy like 5 years ago. Even if all that does happen though, that’s a ways off. Hopefully some day linux can have an actual fully featured display server, although i acknowledge thats no easy feat.
