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?

    Remote access is the one pain point. There is very little for RMM or remote software that works on wayland. KDE has that in the works already.

    Everybody says Rustdesk but it is a bad joke regardless of wayland.

    Personally I host a simplehelp server(paid) and it’s really good but wayland support is a no go so far.

    Everything else has been categorically better and fixed a lot of issues for me that I used to have on X11 which I’ve used for like 15 years.

    X11+Gnome until gnome 3 then KDE for me because I’m not using a damn tablet (or workspaces).

      It obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.

      I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.
