Am I the only one who's got the impression that font rendering looks smoother and crisper under Wayland than it does under Xorg? I think Xorg meets more the BSD-spirit, and I would really prefer using it, but epecially when it comes to HiRes displays advantage seems to be on Wayland's side.
I tried both several times but found that most fonts and apps look better on Wayland when upscaling than they do under Xorg. And getting good results seems to me more cumbersome on Xorg than on Wayland. Still looking for the ultimate howto that tells me how to get perfect results on 4K displays by tweaking the configs.
