firefox speedometer score is about the same (slightly faster on wayland, but it varies from run to run)

8.18 wayland + sway
7.96 xenocara + cwm

Maybe this will help you ?

Start seatd

This gives the /var/run/seatd.sock to your user, so that the applications will be run as your uid, not root.

doas seatd -u $(whoami) -l debug

@hi running -stable? I’ve had the trackpad scrolling issues in Firefox on -release and -current (haven’t tested enabling the Mozilla-Wayland variable in the start script) and have similar errors printed to the console, but I’m able to launch sway without root.

Did you add yourself to _seatd?

yes, -stable.
haven't added myself to _seatd, but let me try next time...
editing fbtab and running from tty0 helped
