If not on Wayland, what’s stopping you?

    X because when I try selecting Wayland from sddm the screen goes black and then takes me back to sddm. I’m on manjaro and I’ve done no configuration and I’ve not attempted to install Wayland I just assume because it’s an option in my drop down that it’s been installed.

    Wayland!
    It has advanced a lot lately, I’ve been daily driving it for months now with no issues, compared to a couple of Plasma versions ago where it would break itself in 5 minutes lol.
    Only thing I’m missing is a good remote access solution. I’m currently making do with Sunshine + Moonlight but it has the very annoying bug of not showing the mouse cursor.

    Edit: lol just realized this post is 1 month old. Really looking forward to Lemmy fixing this bug.

    X, because honestly my screen works and don’t currently need to replace the server behind it.

      I understand and X works fine for a lot od people but do remember the number of developers maintaining it have been dropping year on year. No harm in trying IMO. If you are on Plasma or Gnome, you get a simple switcher on the login screen.

        Yeah, I know X is really showing its age.

        I have to add that the switcher is not on Debian 12 by default, where Wayland support for Plasma is optional in plasma-workspace-wayland. Also, it is broken on Nvidia due to missing packages/libraries and Nvidia’s proprietary driver still in general not supporting Wayland properly.

            Because you installed it, or because 12 now gives both via tasksel (or Debian setup). My system is from Debian 10

    I’m on X atm. Wayland works, but it stops some configs from working properly. For example I have endeavour set up to not only notify me of updates, but I can click on the icon in the tray and it will start the update on X, where on Wayland the tray icon doesn’t show so I have to manually update my system. I like the simplistic click and go the tray icon offers me. This is just one feature I run into problems with. I don’t run NVIDIA so I don’t have the compatibility issue with that.

    X11 because what we really needed was X12 but instead we threw the baby out with the bath water.
