Now that the owner and leader of X has come out as a literal Nazi, I think the #Xorg vs #wayland debate should be settled once and for all.

#wayland_vs_x11 #linux

I went from #Wayland back to #X11 just because the shortcuts to move windows between desktops are gone or shitty.

I don't understand why keybinds aren't defined by #plasma. They shouldn't depend on the window manager. Hmm.

#wayland_vs_x11

I think I am missing the magic-markers here -
#fedora #kde #plasma #gnome #wayland #x11 #wayland_vs_x11

Found this blog article "Wayland Isn't Going to Save The Linux Desktop" that talk -as the title said- about #wayland
https://dudemanguy.github.io/blog/posts/2022-06-10-wayland-xorg/wayland-xorg.html

It has been written in 2022. Since the article has been written, may be things have evolved, or not, I don't know.

I'm still using #X11 and I fundamentally have nothing against Wayland.
I continue to use X11 for basics reasons:

It works perfectly with my NVidia GC, my drawing tablet and let me manage monitor calibration profiles
Last time I tried Wayland, then I had too much weird things (artifacts on screen, weird mouse cursors, ...) - it seems related to my NVidia drivers but I didn't dig more, I've just switched to a solution that works for me (then, X11)

Note, the day my desktop environment will work properly on Wayland (so including my NVidia drivers, my drawing tablet, all application I use, color profiles, ...) I'll happily switch to Wayland.

Unfortunately, if what I read in this article is still valid, I probably won't be able to switch in 2024, neither in 2025 :ablobcatknitsweats:

Bjørn works on a first class citizen visual impairment friendly interface to the Durden DE on Arcan display server. (A proper solution that makes Wayland obsolete.)

"Here we continue the series of posts on the development of a command-line shell which defies terminal emulation by using the display server API locally and a purpose built network protocol remotely."

My favorite answer to the X vs Wayland debacle is ARCAN. Though I run X11 because I love it.
