There is just small learning curve about 1-2 weeks and you'll get used to it and it will be harder for you to revert to DEs then it was switching to WMs.

just wait until wine/proton has native wayland support then all the windows games run native wayland instead of Xwayland.
My PSVR headset has been plugged into the linux workstation for most of its life now, almost entirely for flight training, I would already have a PSVR2, but with no PC/Linux support I've not bothered so far.Last edited by mSparks; 09 April 2024, 05:24 PM.

Turns out when you go and double check Nvidia claimed opengl support things go south quickly. Lot of ways Nvidia like Volkswagen before emissions scandal. They use work around to make themselves past and when you test without the work around they are not up to standard.

you get the point that it was a 2 year old gnome version ? i run fedora 40 with gnome46
this means its pretty sure that no real gnome user would experience this ....
it is not anecdotal story its just the fact that a real gnome user just use fedora 39 or fedora 40... ubuntu is just slow here to update gnome.
It did have a severe regression in DiRT Rally 2.0. Hopefully that's already been fixed. I don't think he's posted any Gnome 46 benchmarks yet.

Originally posted by mSparks View PostWayland offers no such functionality, non wayland devs have put some effort to hack it in, and they all do it differently, to various degrees of success.
X11 offers this functionality explicitly by means of Linux uid r/w/x permissions to the underlying bytestreams.
Well, there is at least one important difference, about 30 years of development time, resolving security issues/requirements and bug fixing.
of course time in the closed source world is much more relevant and companies like microsoft and apple have great pressure to bring up new stuff in short period of time just to make sure they can sell new stuff.
who cares if x11 is 30 years old and wayland 15 years old ? i can say for sure i do no longer use x11 at all.

A plan that assumed only RHEL contributes to Linux desktop
A plan that assumed making wayland default would make people use it even though it didn't work
I think they are probably going to need a new plan.
and outside of the high-managment filter-bubble honestly no one believe in it. i did read some IT-Managment books and its full of this bullshit.
for a manager all is like central planing economics like UDSSR there is litterally no difference between high-managment and socialism/communism.
socialism/communism is the illusion that you can manage a society by central planing ..Phantom circuit Sequence Reducer Dyslexia

Originally posted by mSparks View PostIts probably the last one that worked.
The posit was that X11 is slow, badly written, and to hard to develop for, and that wayland/xwayland would therefore far outperform it by stripping out all the "legacy" stuff and writing all the code with an emphasis on performance and "modern" C++.
I thought it already did, although Ive not used any windows stuff since windows 7 - do all my "gaming" on a PS4, save CS2, planning on getting a PS5/PSVR2 once Aces of Thunder drops if it is as good as it looks (along with granturismo of course)
My PSVR headset has been plugged into the linux workstation for most of its life now, almost entirely for flight training, I would already have a PSVR2, but with no PC/Linux support I've not bothered so far.
Xwayland is legacy only code. no sane person should ever be interested in legacy-only code
"and to hard to develop for"
no one ever expected a easy-to-develop-for solution because they did know that as soon as they want to increase security it will automatically become hard-to-develop-for.
any person who thinks you get security for free and this "easy" is an insane person.,Phantom circuit Sequence Reducer Dyslexia

Doesn't matter how good you think your code is written, or how well you think you designed it, or how well you think you tested it: Code isnt suitable for production until it has been hammered extensively by 10s of thousands of people in a process that takes decades (mostly because many of them get pissed at stuff not working/doing what they want, then check in a year or two later to see if what pissed them off is fixed - and only then actually complain if it wasnt and the project is still active)
X11 is well passed that - most notably with XCB.
Wayland hasnt even started that process yet, the lack of complaining when wayland was made default was interpreted as people being happy with the default rather than them just changing the default and quietly getting on with the day job.
(IMHO)
