    Wayland might be the future,
    but today we’re still living in the present…

    I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
    but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.

    Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn…

    E.g:

    • Grayed out screen under HDR
    • LookingGlass unable to boot in fullscreen
    • Some program icons replaced with Wayland icon when running











  • For me the experience has been:

    • Stable
    • Easy to use
    • Enjoyed all the Arch niceness in the meantime.

    Which imo makes it a good distro,
    idiots would not make a good distro…

    Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn’t change the fact that using it has been a bliss.

    Additionally, it’s all open source,
    so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
    it can be forked into another distro.

    As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
    I’m not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire…

    By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.

    Linux is not the enemy here,
    not a single flavor…
