What is your blocker?I'm curious because I recently switched to swaywm to fix some screen tearing, and I'm still figuring out how ready it is for primetime. It mostly works fine, but I'm getting occasional bugs with critical software like Chrome/Brave. It's giving me a very uncomfortable Ubuntu-in-2007 feeling.
It's a testament to desktop Linux's improvement that I haven't felt that way in a decade, and have a much higher stability bar than I do for Windows or my limited Mac usage. But having my browser processes freeze once a week is well below the standards I've come to enjoy, and I'm wondering if I should just switch back to X and deal with the minor graphics hiccups.
- notatoad 4y agoI honestly don't know. I installed fedora, and it wouldn't load to desktop. Switching to an X session fixed my problem, so that was the end of my troubleshooting. I just wanted my computer to work, not to fuss with display managers.
- magicalhippo 4y agoI just tried Wayland last week on my KDE Neon install. Tried playing a movie from my NAS share (smb). Nothing... Local file worked. Switched to X and the NAS file played just fine, exact same steps. No idea how Wayland would affect a Samba share, but like you I just wanted it to work so that was that for now.
- wutbrodo 4y agoOh, wow, didn't expect it to be that straightforward haha
