No idea. I'm using Pop OS. So whatever that uses. Gnome is the DE, I think?
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago>No idea. I'm using Pop OS. So you're being upvoted to the top by praising how flawless Wayland works on an OS that runs by default on X11? :)) Aww man, I hope there's a miscommunication somewhere, like you switched PopOS from X11 to Wayland, because otherwise this is HN comedy gold.

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoNo, they didn't explicitly say they tried X11 "on the same OS". You can assume that, but it's not explicitly stated in the context. It might as well be experiences on different OSs/instances. OP needs to clarify. And from my experience, there's distros that work better with X11 which is why they ship with it out of the box instead of Wayland(like Mint, EndeavourOS and Kubuntu), and ones that work better on Wayland out of the box, like Ubuntu and Fedora.
- edent 3y agoI had to do some pretty hardcore hacking to get Wayland working on Pop. I wrote it up at https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/05/fix-screen-tearing-on-rotated-external-monitors-ubuntu-pop_os/ https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/05/fix-screen-tearing-on-rotat... Warning - you'll need to be at least a Level 17 Linux expert to understand the complexity involved.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoSorry. Thanks for the laugh :)
