Should I switch to Wayland?
(lemmy.ml)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

While it's not as simple as KDE, switching from i3 isn't that hard thanks to Sway. It's a tiling window manager that's intended to be used as a drop-in replacement for i3 on Wayland:

Sway doesn't have a functional Xwayland implementation insofar as it doesn't handle mixed/high DPI
Ah. I did not realize that. My bad.
What do you mean? I'm using it with a high DPI screen and I don't see anything wrong, Xwailand clients may get a little blurred but that's it
"A little blurred" You are probably one of the fellows who walks around with a phone with a spider web of cracks because it "still works". Not sure why you imagine a blurry screen is a usable or acceptable thing. Excuse me while I return to using my 4k + 4k + 1080p 3 screen arrangement in which NONE of them are blurry and in which an app that is moved from a->b remains the same size because UI elements are scaled to the same identical size.
Honestly it happens with just a few apps, and I try to fix or replace them when I find the time. Also, I don't think that's specific to sway, that's just the way xwayland works
Most people have more thinks to do than fix things that already work.
