That is all fair, and I’m sure there’s other issues with Wayland, but really all my issuis come down to xwayland problems. I didn’t realize KDE was dropping x11 though, that is unfortunate
@p4rzivalrp2@forestbeasts its getting harder and harder to do what linux was always good at doing when i first started using it: reviving old hardware. yeah maybe you can still run a cli install of linux pn whatever but its like the days of fluxbox, openbox etc are gone. how long has it been since openbox was actively maintained? i stopped checking years ago.
@p4rzivalrp2 you can still install them but openbox hasnt had an update since 2015. the repo isnt archived but main hasnt been touched in 12 years. fluxbox hasnt had an update in just as long strangely but there is recent activity to the the repo so maybe its still alive. also maybe they are so simple and stable that they haven’t required any updates but what will happen in the future? how long until theyre not even possible to install?

I mean my cs teacher still uses fluxbox, but on the other hand that’s how I know what it is, so you might be somewhat right
