    Should be wayland by default, finally.

    The wayland transition is almost over. JFC it took forever.

    All that’s left is steam itself, wine/proton, and i’d say we’re basically done.

      wine is pretty much there with its latest release. it’ll take a couple of years for LTS distros to phase it out

      Xfce is still wholly in xorg territory.

      Iirc there’s work being done for Wayland support, but last I checked, it’s not nearly far enough along.

        1. xfce is really not an important project IMHO, it’s an interface from the 00’s that doesn’t have a clear usecase to me at all. It’s a strictly worse version of KDE in my eyes. The only reason to use it seems to be if you’re already used to it and don’t want to have to change anything.
        2. they’re actually almost completely done: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap

        so, i don’t think it’d matter if it were true, and it’s also false.

          Yeah, it should! If it was a supported graphics card The GT 710 relies on the nvidia-470 driver as the newest supported one. Anything newer and it just doesn’t run

          It’s my plan! I’m thinking on getting a RX 580 Sadly I’m stuck onto a country with a worthless money, and even a 10 years old graphics card, costs more than my rent

        I switched when I made my notebook my daily driver, and so far it’s been going well for ~6 months now. But I swear to god, I miss bspwm and didn’t find an adequate replacement

      Not yet. Still too many broken and unusable things in Wayland. Sadly.

          Multi Monitor support on a remote session for one. In fact as of right now the situation is even worse and causes the application to crash altogether instead of dropping back to a single screen. Yes, I probably could force a x11 backend and it might work. But I shouldnt have to.

          I am assuming this is the same security issue that has been there for a while. So many applications that could interact with other screens become broken. Maybe some of that is fixed, I suppose I should try again. But until I can multi-monitor with a remote session, I don’t bother trying.

          I am all for Wayland though, don’t get me wrong.
