I thought I’d never have to care about X11 or Wayland if I was a typical user. I thought it was just a debate for really passionate Linux user.
I turned out to be false since the reason I had bad playback on my HTPC, was the fact that Wayland was preventing the refresh rate of my TV to be adjusted to the content.
Switching to a distro using X11 solved the issue and apparently Wayland doesn’t plan on changing anything about this issue.

> Wayland doesn’t plan on changing anything about this issue. This seems to be a common pattern with the Wayland team. They seem very focused on some technical ideology for how "things should work" to the point of ignoring or dismissing real-world issues. Perhaps in another 20 years they'll get around to addressing it.
