  • You dismiss the data you recorded because it doesn’t seem to support your hypothysis tgat there is greater lag in wayland, but that’s not really the right approach, and I think it points to a different conclusion.

    You recorded a lag of 5 or 6 frames at 90 frames per second in both Xorg and wayland, which suggests that the lag is the same to within 0.011 seconds, and I don’t think that you can say that’s a huge difference. However, what you didn’t test is the acceleration curve on mouse movement. If that curve is different under wayland it could easily feel infuriatingly laggy without actually showing any extra delay on the movement starting or ending.

    I’m not sure how you’d accurately test that, a HID device just sending mouse move events wouldn’t do it as wouldn’t mimic you accelerating the mouse from stationary, so wouldn’t exercise the acceleration curve in wayland. You might need a physical device that moves your actual mouse a fixed dustance and then measure the distance the cursor moves on screen. Repeat for different movement speeds and you might have sone useful data.


  • It’s a non-starter for me because I sync my notes, and sometimes a subset of my notes, to multiple devices and multiple programs. For instance, I might use Obsidian, Vim and tasks.md to access the same repository, with all the documents synced between my desktop and server, and a subset synced to my phone. I also have various scripts to capture data from other sources and write it out as markdown files. Trying to sync all of this to a database that is then further synced around seems overly complicated to say the least, and would basically just be using Trillium as a file store, which I’ve already got.

    I’ve also be burnt by various export/import systems either losing information or storing it in a incompatible way.
