RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

The whole switch to Wayland pisses me off (lemmy.world)

its BUGGY and distros keep pushing it to users as if it worked correctly; It doesn't.

GNOME, one of the biggest desktop environments, breaks constantly under Wayland. It breaks on the brand new laptop (framework), it breaks on the old laptop (old ass Dell)

People keep talking about switching everyone to linux, but then as soon as we have a mature technology (X11), we replace it with half baked garbage

Also, bug report in GNOME created

Sounds like GNOME pisses you off. Try a window manager/compositor that is not designed by lunatics who think the OK/Cancel buttons should be at the top of the window when everything else reads left-to-right/top-to-bottom, and that every application should provide its own window decorations so every application looks wildly different. Maybe you would prefer https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/

Also, X11 is decades of half-baked garbage hacks piled on top of half-baked garbage. Wayland fixes real problems.

I like XFCE but the support of high dpi screens is lacking; and the overall consistency bugs are annoying too (like scroll direction is broken)
