Surface Go2 with Pop OS
Re: Surface Go2 with Pop OS
I would try Wayland at least once. The Wayland stack for handling things such as screen rotation via sensor is far more advanced and faster than it is in X11. There's lots of things I don't like about Wayland, but for things like that, it honestly is quite a bit better than X11.

Thanks for that tip. I did make the orientation switch much smoother and more fluid.
Here is the code to do that in Pop OS and I assume this would work in other distros based on Ubuntu 22.04
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
Change the line "WaylandEnable=false" to "WaylandEnable=true" Save and close the file.
In the terminal:
sudo systemctl restart gdm3
Will switch to Wayland on the fly.
When logging in, there will be a gear icon in the login box. Clicking on the gear will enable selection of either X11 or Wayland.
