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

How do I check which one my OS uses?

[-] infeeeee@lemm.ee 24 points 6 months ago

It's not os based, usually you can switch between the 2 on your login screen. To check if you are in a wayland session, type this in a terminal:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

The answer should be wayland or x11

Huh, it's x11... Isn't Wayland also better for gaming? I would want to switch.

[-] infeeeee@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

afaik with nvidia x11 is still recommended for gaming
