Wayland on Nvidia is not stable.
I'm using hyprland which adds another layer of instability as hyprland itsself can be ropey with Nvidia
Even with gnome Wayland I have had a number of issues though, electron stuff is dodgy at best, hibernation doesn't work (might not be Wayland specific)
Applications don't resize properly sometimes and crash more often
I think it entirely depends on your setup, I've had separate issues with Nvidia Wayland across my PC and laptop
I explicitly don't want to use Wayland for my work machine because on both my laptop and PC (both Nvidia) and it's not very stable/reliable
The work PC has Nvidia too so x11 seems like the better choice for that for the "it just works" factor
I have tried qtile before, never really got on with it myself, don't really like using python for config personally
For me it's the fact that I have one source of truth for my whole system config that I can stick in git
If I want to clean up software I don't need anymore I just remove them from the package list and they're gone next rebuild
Also means when I reinstall or setup a new system I just run the installer, do a git pull, rebuild and I've instantly got all my tools, configured just how I like them
Also, if I want to make a big change I can build my system in a VM first to make sure it works first (not that I do that because it also lets me revert to an earlier build from grub if I need to)
I've also got both my laptop and my PC on basically identical configurations from the same git repo with each of them having a smaller config file for hardware specific stuff
I hear the camera quality was terrible back then
Just putting this in to warn people, pinetab 2 has no functional WiFi drivers so you need a dongle
I have tried with a couple myself and come to the conclusion that right now you're probably better off buying an android tablet, putting a de-googled version of android on it and running termux if you need Linux on it
I love that the terminal based browser depends on firefox
All joking aside a lot of people in my circle have switched recently that have been holding out until now
Year of the Linux desktop or not it's certainly got a surge in popularity recently
With the exception of parents I'd rather someone didn't get me something than just ask me what I want
The present isn't the money spent it's the thought that's gone into it
That said I'd also rather not get a present than get one for the sake of it with no thought
Give the gift of less waste going to landfill this christmas lol
Having tried and failed miserably with Linux tablets a number of times I don't think they're quite there yet
As much as Amazon suck my old Kindle has always been pretty nice to use (the OG e-ink ones not the android ones, if you're looking at the kindle fire just look into buying a better android tablet)
There's also the ReMarkable, I believe that also works as an e reader with the added benefit of the pencil to take notes with (worth looking into yourself I've never owned one)
