I thought I'd put this up, and maybe it might be of use for a few folks.
I'm running a bunch of bhyve jails on a Beelink SER5, running openbox as my window manager. I sometimes play with a few Linux installs on it, to see if there's anything new.
So, I've had the following results, which are probably no more than anecdotal. I've done no troubleshooting, and if something gives me trouble with Wayland, I just go to X.
These are on vm-bhyve
So alphabetically.
Arch Linux. Both X and Wayland with labwc work quite well.
Fedora. X is fine. Fedora's default Gnome workstation is OK, not super snappy, but usable.
However, with labwc, it's almost unusable. Very slow, if I have a back ground image, it still shows as black, if I open a terminal and move the terminal around, you can see bits of the background image, almost as if I'm scraping away a plain black cover over a picture.
FreeBSD, both 14.3-RELEASE and 15-ALPHA. Couldn't get Wayland to start. Doing a cursory websearch indicates that it takes some work, and my usual scfb driver for bhyve won't work.
RH and clones. Wayland is fine. Both the defaut Gnome you get with server-with-GUI and if I do a minimal install then add labwc, or dwm.
So, maybe this will be of use to someone. There's no problem I'm looking to solve. All of the installs mentioned, save for RedHat and clones, run fine with xorg.
