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.

Didn't realize this was happening and yay -Syu went brrr and it broke my shit. Probably doesn't help that I'm running nvidia with linux (endeavouros). Wayland doesn't work at all (black screen on login with only mouse ptr, wrong resolution), while Xorg is now much less smooth e.g. on the switching desktop animations. Moving windows around and in-window graphics are fine. Some graphical config stuff changed too; I'm still taking inventory.
I'm also currently playing with nvidia vs nvidia-dkms with different kernels to see if that solves anything.
EDIT: Looks like that my configuration was failing to set
nvidia_drm modeset=1correctly due to my unfamiliarity with dracut. Manually addingnvidia_drm.modeset=1to my kernel cmdline makes Wayland work (and quite well at that), though Xorg is still laggy.On rolling release distros you should always read (or at least skim) over what's being updated and if it may impact you.
Oh absolutely, I don't blame KDE or arch repos lol. I did see that it was a KDE update but somehow didn't clock the version number. I had it in my head that KDE6 was much farther off.
Sorry to hear that. Also on EOS and it is working great.
Same here on Lenovo Ideapad(I think) and EOS. No problems at all.
