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.

Should be wayland by default, finally.
The wayland transition is almost over. JFC it took forever.
All that's left is steam itself, wine/proton, and i'd say we're basically done.
They day I leave X11!... Is the day I buy a decent graphics card Seriously my GT 710 is suffering
I switched when I made my notebook my daily driver, and so far it's been going well for ~6 months now. But I swear to god, I miss bspwm and didn't find an adequate replacement
Get an AMD one
It's my plan! I'm thinking on getting a RX 580 Sadly I'm stuck onto a country with a worthless money, and even a 10 years old graphics card, costs more than my rent
Nvidia should be good now actually!
Yeah, it should! If it was a supported graphics card The GT 710 relies on the nvidia-470 driver as the newest supported one. Anything newer and it just doesn't run
Xfce is still wholly in xorg territory.
Iirc there's work being done for Wayland support, but last I checked, it's not nearly far enough along.
so, i don't think it'd matter if it were true, and it's also false.
an interface from the ’00s*
Not yet. Still too many broken and unusable things in Wayland. Sadly.

I see freerdp. Does it have multi monitor support for wayland yet?
Such as?
Multi Monitor support on a remote session for one. In fact as of right now the situation is even worse and causes the application to crash altogether instead of dropping back to a single screen. Yes, I probably could force a x11 backend and it might work. But I shouldnt have to.
I am assuming this is the same security issue that has been there for a while. So many applications that could interact with other screens become broken. Maybe some of that is fixed, I suppose I should try again. But until I can multi-monitor with a remote session, I don't bother trying.
I am all for Wayland though, don't get me wrong.
What compositor are you using? Have you submitted a bug report?

apparently it should be solved by moving to gtk4, and is actually a gtk3 bug, not a wayland one.
wine is pretty much there with its latest release. it'll take a couple of years for LTS distros to phase it out
I'm still waiting for this: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6025
I believe that'll make it so that windows actually use my SSD's instead of CSD's, i'm on hyprland and the double bordering is super annoying.
This PR does not look like it has anything to do whith SSD
I thought shaping the windows allowed for removing the borders.
could absolutely be wrong
