RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

its BUGGY and distros keep pushing it to users as if it worked correctly; It doesn't.

GNOME, one of the biggest desktop environments, breaks constantly under Wayland. It breaks on the brand new laptop (framework), it breaks on the old laptop (old ass Dell)

People keep talking about switching everyone to linux, but then as soon as we have a mature technology (X11), we replace it with half baked garbage

Also, bug report in GNOME created

I've had success with wayvnc, but that's because I use wlroots based wayland compositors. It doesn't work for GNOME or KDE.

I suppose there's nothing to stop someone from having multiple compositors installed to the same host. One for meatspace interaction, and a wlroots based compositor for remote access.

Thank you for the response and information. Unfortunately I'm my advancing years I've found I actually kinda like KDE now.. so I've been using that. But that is certainly something I can play with to see if I can get it working.
