A good sign. Other community distros have already done that, but this is a good sign to the larger community that Wayland is basically ready for prime time.
Am I going to have a bad time trying to switch to Wayland? I just use discord, Spotify, steam, some basic steam games, Krita, and emacs
Screen sharing on Discord with Wayland kinda sucks at the moment, but I believe that’s moreso Discord’s fault for not updating Electron or something along those lines.
If you really need screenshare there were some options with xwaylandvideobridge, a custom client, or just running it via the browser
on chromium screen sharing works flawlessly though.
Yes, but Discord is using a really old version afaik.
There’s Armcord which does support screen sharing (and all sorts of neat features).
why even install multiple copies of chromium in the first place if all this electron proprietary garbage comes with virtually no extra features compared to the web version, in the first place?
Because Armcord inserts extra features into the app.
If you use scaling some apps can be blurry. Oh and screen sharing doesn’t work on discord cause they refuse to update their app. Other than that it was smooth sailing for me
Wow that’s good news, I’ll have to give it a shot
Am I going to have a bad time
yes, don’t listen to the people with narrow use-cases that “work perfectly for them”
Both teamviewer and rustdesk are acting funny as hell since the upgrade. Seriously buggy for me. Screen locks up. Keyboard and mouse also act funny. tiger vnc is ok at the moment. That’s my biggest takeaway. It’s been hard to do stuff remotely with Wayland enabled.
On Plasma 6.1/KWin on Wayland, with newest 555.52.04 drivers, it’s literally been flawless for me
Except blind users cannot even install the distro at all now because all Wayland distros have broken screen readers.
So they gonna give me an NVIDIA card if I use Wayland? Nice!
Why did you switch up the title?
I installed void linux which I guess defaults to wayland and everything ran like crap until I switched to x11. Have fun with that.
Are they using the beta v555 Nvidia drivers? I, and a lot of other people, are having a lot of issues with the current stable ones not supporting implicit sync.
