Okay, so, Idunno if it's more Sway or Wayland or just getting away from something wrong with my X/herbstluftwm setup but wow everything feels kinda great over here 😅

It's taken a while to get everything set up how I like but multiple games behave well here and not on X (which is very strange considering I expected more problems with the "new" thingle especially regarding gaming) and also my system feels snappier in general. Nobody told me the switch was gonna be like getting a hardware upgrade but wheee!

Of course, fiddling with things is something I love about Linux so it's kindof a win-win even with the added work of having to switch over because gush gush Swayland is kinda wonderful 😅

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I've just been holding this in for a couple days and can't find anycritter(s) else to gush at 🤷‍♀️

same here.

my first switch from x to wayland was on the pinephone and that convinced me to make the big jump elsewhere. that feeling of snappiness you describe, from not having all the screen refreshed all the time i gues...?

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.
