@leo KDE with Wayland was all crashy when I tried it. If Wayland windowing is as buggy and crashy as their browser we’ll all need to switch to Windows or Mac just to get any work done.
I suppose it really depends on when you tried it. Ubuntu 23.10 has been working quite well on Wayland. I haven’t once failed down to X, and the only papercut I run into now is with differently scaled displays (100% and 150%) where OBS will crash the session when moving back and forth.
Everything else seems good as I haven’t really seen anything else break at all and I use Firefox, Kdenlive, Audacity, lots of chat apps, and played some games. Specifically, playing Vivaldia 2 while I was remotely compiling Gentoo using OBS to livestream.
I’m daily driving Firefox with Wayland on KDE Plasma since years, not on Xwayland, and can’t remember it not working well. This on two different distributions (Arch and NixOS). Not saying this is your fault but your experience is not representative for everyone
@Laser My experience is representative for enough people to show that Linux Desktop is a mess and is not suitable for production work. I don’t identify myself by my choice of software. I just want to get work done.
KDE currently marks Wayland support as experimental. They are expecting full readiness by Plasma 6 ( next quarter ).
Firefox has had Wayland marked as experimental for some time. They are expecting full readiness by…hey, look at that—they say that it is ready now.
So run Firefox on GNOME and enjoy the Wayland I guess.
The fuck is this title lol
I’m so traumatized by how tech everything goes, that I read “Firefox is going to try (…)” and immediately braced for some dystopian bullshit.
Then saw “Wayland” and relaxed. I have no hot takes about Wayland lmao.
