Sure X isn’t a hot mess unlike wayland… sure…
X has been tepid for at least a decade.

As someone using Wayland I can confirm it’s indeed not a hot a mess
Okay, but that would have made a shitty joke wouldn’t it?
Hmm… I don’t know maybe it’s fine as a joke.
Seconded. Although that very much depends on the compositor of choice: I’ve been trying out a few new shiny things (well, pinnacle, strata, buddaraysh), and they aren’t exactly usable rn. With the exception of the latter one, probably (since the author claims to use it), but I haven’t been able to start it so far… On the other hand, major players like hyprland and sway work perfectly fine on my machine :tm
I’m on KWin Wayland, it also works great. I actually never noticed that I was switched from X11 to Wayland when I reinstalled Debian.
I personally run sway. I was really looking forward to kiwmi but that project looks dead
😂 But X is a very old spaghetti code from the 80s and is a security nightmare. I use X, btw!
Becouse I’m still on nvidia, when I get the framework 16" soon tm it’s getting Wayland
NVidia RTX3070 here - absolutely no issues with Hyprland. Installed it like you would on any other system and i’m good to go.
Only thing i miss is just as @Johanno@feddit.de mentioned, i can’t use Green With Envy. Don’t need it though.
But NVidia isn’t a barrier for wayland anymore.

I’ve heard that before recently, but tbth I really don’t want to mess with my system rn (barring updates), it mostly acts as a server lately sense I got my SteamDeck and that’s probably how it’s gonna stay as I really want to avoid accidentally breaking anything for the time being
When I get my batch 2 framework order I’m going to be a lot more willing to learn adout and experiment with Wayland, just becouse I know whatever I do on that it won’t interrupt what other people are doing who are connect to the aformentioned server on my older machine
Will I upgrade my other computer to Wayland? Maybe eventually after I’ve learned more about it and played with it some, but for the time being it’s just gonna stay as it is
And that’s a totally valid approach. I didn’t want to push anyone into Wayland, i’ve dragged my X11 setup with me for as long as i wanted. I just wanted to show that NVidia is not the barrier anymore.
Easy, because Cinnamon is on X. When Cinnamon is on Wayland, so will I (and when I don’t have an Nvidia GPU, I guess).
Same here. Sure, KDE and Gnome may have great Wayland support by now, but what about other DEs? The situation in XFCE seems to be pretty grim:
It is not clear yet which Xfce release will target a complete Xfce Wayland transition (or if such a transition will happen at all).
MATE seems to have piecemeal support. No idea what the status of LXDE/LXQT are. And there are plenty of other window managers that don’t have the manpower to support wayland either.
The deprecation of X is going to leave a lot of dead software in its wake.
Yeah, people like to pretend KDE and Gnome are the only options. I dislike both. Cinnamon is the (unintended?) spiritual successor to the last Gnome I liked, which is Gnome 2.
It’s very much intended. Cinnamon was forked from GNOME 3 when it was released. It was intended to preserve the old GNOME 2 layout, but ended up evolving into the Cinnamon we know today.
I’m confused, wayland.social is just another mastodon instance, yes? EDIT: Oh presumably it’s a joke
No Barrier for Wayland. :(
