I use Wayland on an AMD RX 6700 XT. I use Wayland because if you have multiple monitors with different refresh rates, xorg only allows the desktop compositing to run at the framerate of the lowest monitor. I had a 60, 75, and 144hz monitor but compositing ran at 60 fps (games ran fine because compositing is disabled and can run full framerate while playing). Wayland can run desktop compositing at full framerate for each monitor so it doesn’t have that issue.
Afterwards, now that I no longer have the 60hz or 75hz monitors (144 is now my lowest hz monitor) it wouldn’t affect much to use either one, but I still use Wayland because it runs well on my hardware.
There might be a workaround or some other way to fix that, and I might’ve worded some of that a bit wrong, but Wayland was the fix for me in that situation.
Droid-ify is an F-droid frontend, that is also in F-droids repo as an installable app so it’s safe, in this case one of the F-droid repos OP has is actually malicious and is installing a modified version of Signal, the package name is wrong org.thoughtcrimes.securesms, it should be thoughtcrime without the S.
I think Play Protect is intrusive, but this time it actually tried to protect OP from a malicious Signal clone.
