wayland SUCKS (for me)

| my setup is default KDE (which comes with wayland and noveau OOTB now) and debian LTS

i was really expecting a modicum of stability with this generic vanilla setup and i just did not get that with how many times brave and kwin and vesktop crashed

is LMDE any better? (w/ x11 ofc)


| >>1075992
oh, even fucking ANKI crashed on me too


| wayland sucks in general and anyone insisting on it deserves to be waterboarded until they stop breaking things that work perfectly fine without their input


| after years of use. i don't miss wayland.
it had it's moments where it was better then X. then they updated it.

no idea what's been going on with the wayland dev team for the last few years but i hope they get mental help.


| what even is debian lts, trixie?


| Why are you surprised that LTS distros, who's target audience are institutions where upgrade migrations warrant a lengthy support window, don't have the latest and greatest of KDE and Wayland? I'm not trying to be harsh here, but I'd bet everything on your reasons here not being backed up by objective truths, debian is not the amazing base uninformed sycophants would have you believe; not to trash it entirely but the vast majority of supposed pros I've seen claimed are just wrong.


| Also, frozen package versions, added support difficulty in backporting fixes, and other LTS woes aside... just because a distro offers one DE or another doesn't mean the same amount of effort is being put into maintaining it. If you want the best KDE experience consider at least using a distro where achieving this is a considered a high/higher priority.


| I use wayland for about a year now on my desktops. It improved much, but yes its still is not as reliable/stable as x11. Especially not on devices with older GPU (namely 4th gen intel).
For deployment at my work (me admistering above 300 diverse Client PCs running with KDE Neon) I remove wayland option from sddm.
For older devices I'd even recommend not to use KDE (which I love) but trinity Desktop instead (Q4OS is a good debianoid distro).
