As much as I want to support the idea of a well supported, modernised graphical protocol system, wayland simply isn’t ready yet. There’s so much shit that simply doesn’t work, and they’re all made up of little niche cases that will take substantially longer than a few months to resolve, and I still haven’t seen anything that suggests Wayland has a practical equivalent to xorg.conf.
Is Alma Linux rolling their own version of Plasma with x11? Or are they just sticking with an older version of Plasma? Is anyone else planning on hacking x11 back into the DE?
Yeah, we’re just inventing shit all the time…
I did. What am I supposed to notice?
That it doesn’t work.
I can’t on Debian. Can’t even enter my password like that. Not sure if it’s related to some config, it just does not work on Wayland, but works immediately on X11.
File a bug report with Debian’s maintainer of KDEConnect.
Running a stable distro means you get fewer unexpected new bugs, but it also means you’re stuck with bugs that were already fixed upstream for years if they don’t affect enough of your distro’s users.
