XWayland is the compatibility layer in Wayland to run X11 applications within Wayland. I’ve never had an issue with it on any application that still used X11 and it’s pre-installed, so you don’t have to do anything, if you’re running Wayland.

Honestly for the best. X11 was great for what it was, but Wayland is the future. XWayland covers X11 apps that haven’t been ported yet.
Now I just wish Cinnamon would hurry up and move to fully default Wayland.
I don’t think they’re removing XWayland. Just the X11 session option. You can still run legacy X11 apps in XWayland AFAIK.

Zigbee 4 support lacking in it is disappointing.

13·12 days agoDon’t be surprised when one or both of them starts doing some shady shit to sabotage things if Valve starts eating a larger market share.
Their newly announced Steam Machine also can do the same thing in your living room, but provide a console-like setup.
I prefer Wayland over X11, but Cinnamon doesn’t support it yet as stable
Pretty sure us Mint enjoyers don’t give AF because our distro is for people who just want things to work.
The hell are you on about?
Same. I always try it out and run into some critical bug causing me to abandon it.
My Linux Mint install with Cinnamon “just works”, so I’ve been sticking with that and hoping Wayland support goes stable soon, because I hate X Server.

It took me a while, but I moved off apt-get to just apt.

3·1 month agoMost distros don’t really have yum anymore. DNF is actually running the command in a yum mode, so you’re really using dnf.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•FFS Plex, the server is on my local networkEnglish
20·2 months agoI know Plex is a business that has to make money, but if I hadn’t bought a lifetime pass for $50 a decade ago, I’d have dropped them at this point.
That sounds like Arch.
I don’t have time to futz with things, so I don’t bother anymore. I rely on my PC for work, so I run Debian/Mint for everything, because it almost never breaks.
I’ve done Arch installs from scratch and with the install script, but I always come back to Debian.
To be fair, the install guide does say you should do it all manually at least once so you understand what’s going on. However, it’s not strictly necessary.
I’m curious… What problems are you referring to?
