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.

I think that's a little bit premature for GNOME to do, though I have to ask, what "certain devices" are we talking about?
certain hardware configurations. I have two computers on linux. One of them has issues with GTK4, the other one doesn't. The only difference between these machines is hardware.
And yeah, I agree that's premature for them to do
Right, what are the "certain hardware" configurations? Are they really old? Are they really niche?
if I knew what exactly was causing it hardware wise I would have a way to fix it, and I don't
given GNOME's solution is "use Wayland" (which I can't for a variety of reasons) I don't think I can ever figure out what the problem is. Their attitude from the start is already non helpful.
all I know is my hardware isn't niche nor really really old. And Im not the only one experiencing this
