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.

Gnome completely different and buggy after update (Debian) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I just ran an update, as one does with apt update and upgrade. Afterwards all my monitors, bedies that one ancient 4 by 3 monitor stopped working. That 4 by 3 displays gnome at a lower resolution then usual. So I assumed that this has something to do with the nvidia drivers (has happened many times before). So I run nvidia-detect and get a really interesting output: marty@MartyPC:~$ nvidia-detect Detected NVIDIA GPUs: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1060 6GB] [10de:1b83] (rev a1)

Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1060 6GB] (rev a1) Uh oh. Failed to identify your Debian suite.

"Failed to identify your Debian suite" Uh oh, that sounds bad. This is Debian 12, so I assumed this was apparent... neofetch still says it's Debian 12!

I also made a post today trying to fix my desktop icons, so maybe the things which happened there kinda give away some hints?

Does anyone have an idea on what might be going on here?

I've hated the idea of wayland and still dislike many things about it, but 1st wayland is just a protocol, wlroots is the common base for everything. After trying labwc the current seemed to turn around quite a bit. Still missing some basic utilities that seem to only exist for sway and be based on sway.
Both sway and waybox are a disappointment.

So keep trying different projects to find what fits, because eventually we will be there.

Nvidia just sucks with Wayland is what I was saying. I got an AMD card and it's noice now on gnome and kde
