It's not so much that I found things explicitly better, but that the descriptions piqued my interested and I just wanted to experience them for myself. Specifically, trackpad gestures combined with horizontal workspaces. (In practice, I usually have a keyboard and mouse so I don't use the trackpad much, although the horizontal workspaces feel slightly more natural.)
Things feeling off are hard to describe, but a concrete one is the software centre being pretty buggy and Snaps causing there to be many duplicate entries (and also Snaps being dependent on a single, closed-source Canonical server by definition).
But yes, I think Pipewire sealed the deal for me, at least in terms of giving Fedora a try once. I'm not sure why anymore, but I think it had something to do with being able to do screen sharing in Wayland?
In either case, it was mostly curiosity, and the differences really aren't that big. But it worked just fine right away, with nothing much to get used to, so I just stuck with it. Curious to see how the upgrade to v35 will go though.
- q-base 5y agoThanks a lot for your thorough explanation. I was not aware of the gestures thing. Perhaps I will give it a try when I get a new laptop. Then I can always go back to Ubuntu if I do not like it.
