From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm literally reading your posts and responding to your words.

The real issue is that even today, some apps (Firefox, gedit, some terminals) don't adjust their scaling to the new screen

This shows you dont know what fractional scaling is otherwise you would have used the term.

I work in Linux as a daily driver for work and personal. I don't care what the tools are, but they need to work and stay out of the way. Right now, Wayland implementation of multi monitor for my hardware is too much bother, I'll try it again in a year.

This is you being stubborn because you're justifying your inaction based on false manufactured premises.

I have no objections to Wayland itself, but I value the kind of stability xfce gives me, which is stable, predictable, and gets out of the way. Right now, on my hardware, Wayland/gnome is not there.

This shows you don't understand what Wayland is because you compared a compositor protocol to a desktop environment.
