A new Final Fantasy Tactics and I mean one like the classic PS1/PSP game not those strange Advanced titles.

As a disclaimer: I really like Wayland and use it as my daily driver for months now with KDE/Proton.

Now my answer, based on my best knowledge:

Because there is no real Wayland to implement, the base Wayland protocols are extremely bare bone and most of the heavy lifting is done by all the different wayland compositors like hyprland, plasma, Mutter, weston, wlroots, gamescope so as a developer you don't have one target to program against (X11) but lots of different wayland implementations and those are not always doing things the same way or providing the identical interfaces/API or have the same level of features.

On my system is at least one wayland only program that works absolutely fine when started in a wlroots environment but crashes (reproduceable on different systems) with a segmentation fault in Mutter or Plasma.

I use arch on my servers. It is the distro I am most used too, because I use it also as my daily driver.

Never had any issues, everything just works for me.

Atomic distributions have read only filesystems for nearly anything but /home, it makes it way more reliant against loss of power then just a normal Debian. I had a few people with distributions that broke due to filesystems corruption.

I love to install Atomic distributions for less technically savvy people. Reducing the conflict and issue potential.

That is great when using only RFC 1918 IPv4 addresses in the network, but as soon as IPv6 is added to the mix all those internal only network resources can becomes easy publicly available and announced. Yes, this can be prevented with firewalling but it should be considered.

German router and network products company AVM learned the hard way that this is a bad idea. They use fritz.box for their router interface page and it was great until tld .box became publicly available and somebody registered fritz.box.

Having a reserved local/internal only tld is really great to prevent such issues.

The CRT flicker gives me headache in no time, even with good maintenanced expensive studio monitors. I didn't had that problem as a kid in the 80s but now as I am older, and used to flicker free flat screen monitors, it is really bad.

True and I would never call it original hardware. But it is so much closer to original hardware then emulation ever could be.

Not only perceive, it is often multiple frames from multiple lag sources (input lag of the USB controller or even worse Bluetooth, display lag from the monitor, rendering lag from the emulator, framebuffer lag). Playing fast paced games with frame perfect movement (Megaman on the NES for example) is so much harder on a emulator with all the lag, even on very recent hardware.

It is not emulation, it is hardware replication. And yes it is not always perfect. As with any replicated or cloned hardware it is just as good as the available information and the skill of the manufacturer.
