Wayland

Devuan's shit anyways. Artix is the way to go in my opinion, and don't give me none of that "it's the same shit" argument, they clearly have different target userbases that happen to overlap in the "No systemd" department

I've tried double buffered vsync (render after vblank) on 120Hz which gives 8.33ms input latency, and it's still a deal breaker.
o-okay

Assuming you use intel here. Just open /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness with your text editor of choice. I don't use wayland since it's shit, but I highly doubt that won't work.

Try writting "rm -rf ~/*" in a text file, chmod +x, and running it from a terminal. I absolutely assure you it will happily proceed to work on pretty much any distros defaults.
Wayland is a lot smaller in regards to code size, but that doesn't it has less overhead. Graphics have to jump through a very long series of hoops in order to get rendered on screen, and it has very significant effects on performance. If you're already using compositing on X the difference is not as significant, though it's still there.

Devuan exists because Debian didn't want xlennart in the repo!

I've considered making the shift from Debian to Devuan, because Devuan seems to have "choice" as a goal and a more sensible mailing list than debian-devel where they bicker over the weboob package for being offensive to women and someone forgetting to write Chair instead of Chairman in an announcement. I feel more confident that Devuan would not make opionanted choices on behalf of the users. However I've chosen to find a free weekend to go the LFS way and create my own system.. I want more control.

Good joke.

Thank god devuan and mx-linux exist.

Not true. That's how X has worked, but Windows, MacOS, Android and every other operating system (except those that use X) don't have this problem.
X is an ancient, outdated and utter shite protocol created back when personal computers weren't even a thing. It is not suited for modern computing since it's insecure and unmaintanable.
Among other things, X:
These 3 should scare the shit out of you "le NSA botnet" idiots, but then again this is Contrarian Town and you don't have any personal beliefs, you only "believe" what's not popular.
And there are many, many more reasons why X is shit.
Now, Wayland is also shit. Basically the X devs went all Suckless and decided to make it as small and secure as possible, but now it lacks even basic features like screen grabbing and desktop sharing. Mir would have been a far better alternative (and Upstart to systemd, for that matter) but Canonical is retarded and the community is fixated on sucking Red Hat's cock.

Use acpilight you faggot. It might use the name "xbacklight" in command but it is completely independent of xorg and wayland. You can change brightness from the tty with it.

Mir is going to be a Wayland compositor now, and may just make Wayland great by being a target for small X11 window managers

Shit, meant to point out this post
