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.

They still haven't solved the problem of a Gnome Shell crash taking down my entire session with it. I need to be able to restart the shell independently of the Wayland compositor for me to switch.
KDE Plasma will get this feature soon, I hope GNOME Shell will follow their approach.
pretty sure the KDE work will be at least partially compatible with other desktops. one of the demos shown was specifically using the feature to swap between Wayland desktops without losing app state
I feel like if Gnome Shell is crashing enough for this to be a problem then it crashing is the actual problem.
~~ubuntu already compile gnome with the fix~~(edit: i confused it with triple-buffering, that ubuntu compile gnome with, idk if ubuntu compile gnome with the fix to don't take down the entire session), but the merge request is there, and it work, idk with gnome didn't merged it still, maybe other priorities?

Yep. I'm not even using Wayland. Every other day its "Oops, there was a fucky wucky!" And I have to log out. I'm on Cinnamon for now.
