Agreed. What's the missing feature? Screen sharing? Remote sessions? Overlapping displays (doesn't work in Android BTW)? We've had all of these for years.
Even fractional scaling on hiDPI monitors has been good enough for me to not care for at least 5 years.
It's like systemd; the people bitching either want to sound contrarian or actually know enough to roll their own down to the low level. At which point I must say; show me the code. Open a PR or give it a rest
- clhodapp 3y agoFor me, personally, this was the year of Wayland... but that comes after years of checking every few months whether it was ready. My last-resolved reason not to switch: Popular compositors didn't support scaling for XWayland on par with how it works when X11 controls the screen right up until this year. This meant that you either had to opt out of scaling in Wayland (horrible on high dpi displays) or accept super blurry XWayland windows. Of course, it would be great if we didn't need XWayland but... That's not going to happen until more users have Wayland desktops and users like me weren't about to accept Wayland desktops while this type of problem existed.

There's a merge request, but still in progress.[1] Linux isn't particularly suitable to photo editing anyway, but it'd be nice to at least display colors properly!
