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.

I used to have issues with middle click scroll, but my own solution works fine and it works on Wayland and X11 too
I'm too dumb to set up Wayland on Nvidia and honestly don't really care to. My laptop has an intel haswell-ult so it works with Wayland ootb and all the apps I use on it (literally just calibre, falkon, lapce and libreoffice Writer) work fine.
Edit: spelling
I'm using Wayland right now, but tentatively.
Right now there's an issue in WoW where sometimes when I move my mouse and left-click, the camera jumps to a different position, usually trying to look up.
Only happens on Wayland and it's fixed temporarily by switching between windowed and fullscreen mode. The problem comes back sometimes when alt-tabbing and refocusing the game.
There was a bug in KDE recently where some menus weren't properly appearing on Wayland, but that seems to have been fixed after my latest update.
Tentatively? X11 is dead.
You could not be more wrong. It is well alive and still kicking.
Mostly Beamng (ik not software but game using windows Vulkan/native Linux and a note that my de doesnt have good wayland support at this time )
I just need steam\proton\wine to support native wayland and then I'll remove xwayland from my system, can't wait
i'm on hyprland though
josm
To me it's mostly the lack of feature parity in kwin between x11 and Wayland, specially lack of global menu support for GTK apps in Wayland.
Ubuntu 24.04s KDE Package. Have I borked something or when will it ask me about upgrading?
