As someone who switched to wayland way back when sway was dominant...? About time.
X11 has been mostly solid for me. Wonder if Wayland would be worth messing with.
Only because it doesn't ask me to recompile the source every time a kernel update comes in.
Crazyy!
Btw I am XWayland free since today!
I have a list of recommended apps here
Some apps need environment variables:
Qt:
GTK
Electron
You can use xlsclients -l to detect apps using XWayland.
Some may even want to run apps through XWayland on purpose, like KeepassXC for Clipboard access or autotype. Lets see how long it takes to implement all the needed protocols.
Gotta resoect the tty. Consistently consitent
Should I consider switching? X11 just works and I’d need to rewrite all my config and I don’t really have the time rn.
No
I'm willing to bet that, like Linux usage statistics, Steam Deck had something to do with this.
Anyway, I wish I could switch to Wayland, but back when I used it it caused a dozen programs I use everyday to get very crashy.
How many Steam deck users are uploading their hardware stats though? This is opt-in reporting.
I just set up xmonad because I was in the mood for change. Took about a week of tinkering a bit each day and I really like it. Afterwards, I was still in the mood for configs and looked at Wayland. There isn't much progress on Wayland xmonad, so guess that has to wait.
That's a common problem I've been hearing for almost 10 now - the software support isn't quite there yet.
Waiting for explicit sync support from nvidia but even then, I doubt I'll switch until I can enable tearing. I'm sensitive to input latency and playing on wayland feels like my aim is floating
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.
