David Ramiro Justo's personal blog at davidjusto.com covers programming and systems. Since 2026, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times, most often “Measuring Input-to-Photon Latency (Because 'Wayland Feels Off' Isn't a Metric)”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-01-02, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked posts measure input latency on Linux, comparing X11 and Wayland with VRR and DXVK. Commenters cite the article as a source on Nvidia drivers and Wayland performance, without judging the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionCan you cite any sources for that claim? I found this blog post that says wayland is pretty much on par with X11 except for XWayland, which should be considered a band-aid only anyways: https://davidjusto.com/articles/m2p-latency/
