    I just hope Wayland has its accessibility shit together before then. There are people that still need to use X11 for their accessibility needs.

    I really wish Wayland was more fleshed out & stable before all of this happened. Color management isn’t even yet finalized & putting accurate colors on the screen is like the most important part.

    I really wish Arcan were further along.

      We live in a wild world where people feel so confident about the wayland snake oil that they only added color in 2024!

      You already said Debian. The rest is redundant.

        Please forgive me, as a Debian user I’m prone to senior moments and will soon have my driving license legally revoked.

          It’s okay. That’s how you know how stable we are.

            Debian users are so stable, that they’re not allowed on planes.

            Debian users are so stable, that the Higgs boson was only found once thet had left the room.

            I have more mild disses.

        Stares in Debian Testing. (Though I use Bookworm on my laptop, probably soon to be Trixie. Nice thing about Trixie is I’ll no longer have to use the Backports kernel on my Thinkpad and can just stay on the LTS one.)

          I was looking for some excitement in my life so I installed Arch on my primary device.
          I’m disappointed. I’ve had zero issues.
          Okay, one issue, but I had that with Debian too. (recovering from sleep mode)

    I’m using a 49" monitor and dividing it up in virtual X11 monitors/screens for flexibility. Running a tiling window manager with lots of virtual desktops, but with fullscreen support separate monitors are still needed. Wayland are still missing the support for dividing up the display, which is probably the last thing keeping me on X11.

    Let’s just hope XFCE can finish the transition before then. If not, I am not looking forward to having to shop for a new DE.

        Not necessarily - pavucontrol switched to GTK4, and there are a lot of other applications that I use that are on it as well. If XFCE stays on X11, I wouldn’t be able to run any application that updates to GTK5 (except through some hack like running Weston nested in X, which I used to do when I used Waydroid).

    The lack of proper tablet support in wayland prevents me from being excited for this. I wish there was more news on that front.

    Oh no…

    Anyways, another reason why to use Qt rather than GTK for your app.

    Will QT 7 Do the same?

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.
