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?

    As someone who likes X11, Wayland works fine. To say it has so many things wrong is a self report. People like you make shit up about Wayland because you had some unrelated issue years ago. Just give a rest.

      • Try using software with a lower resolution on a 4K display (e.g. laptop) without it displaying as a small 1:1 pixel box for ants
      • Try typing uppercase letters on a mobile device over KDEConnect on Wayland
      • Try remapping any key on your keyboard to print a different character on another layer
      • Try using an older Nvidia card that doesn’t get proprietary drivers on a system that wouldn’t need them

      Yeah, we’re just inventing shit all the time…

          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.
