As a Linux newcomer the Wayland/X11 thing has been the most confusing thing I've witnessed.
Surely the average person will just use what works best on their system at that time? I don't get people wishing to throw Wayland in the trash or the people who take issue with people still using X11.
Kinda just seems like arguing because you have nothing better to do.
It's an age old Linux tradition. We argue about window managers, init systems, sound systems, and anything else we can. Often it's because people have built a hacked together system based on what used to work for them. Relevant XKCD
Hahaha that damn spacebar heating in KDE 4.2 was really lit
Just use a Distro that has it preset. Ubuntu, Fedora, I dont know what else.
Ubuntu LTS and 23.x are both Xorg. Latest has Wayland. If 24.04 is to be LTS though, I don’t think they’d release it with Wayland as default. I’d think they’d switch to Wayland on 24.10 so there’s 3 more releases to get good before the next LTS build.
Damn... so StudioOne on their "Linux info page" was wrong. They only support Ubuntu (sigh...) but also only Wayland.
A good start for a Flatpak? Maybe if it wasnt proprietary...
Possible I’m wrong? I was going against the Distrowatch details since I was just looking at them a couple hours before I replied: https://distrowatch.com/table-mobile.php?distribution=ubuntu
I don’t usually “trust” vendor support for Linux though…Linux is usually a second-class citizen and “support” means there is either a single grey-beard or an intern that’s answering emails about it. Idk about StudioOne, but unfortunately it’s usually expected to not have feature parity or complete documentation for commercial software on Linux. IME, YMMV, etc.
They dont support it at all currently but have an experimental version. As if that was too much, with their software costing 200€+
More people using Wayland would mean faster development of Wayland, and developers being more pressured to natively support it. Especially Nvidia and Electron support is still horrible. And especially from a security standpoint, Wayland is just better.
On my Nvidia desktop, there are tons of glitches, especially in games and other demanding apps (as well as electron). On my Intel Laptop, everything is perfectly fine. So good in fact, that I only see one difference to X11: The better security.
