Description

Wayland input latency is a topic discussed in the Linux graphics community and claims that “Wayland adds latency” have been repeated in the past. This talk explores end-to-end latency comparison in an automated A/B testing setup designed to produce more rigorous and reproducible measurements. The session focuses on comparative evaluation across multiple compositors or window managers, high-level display configurations, and measurement methods, with the goal of giving compositor and driver developers a fairer basis for discussing latency.
