Wayland has been hit and miss for me on Intel and AMD graphics over the years but has progressively gotten better and more stable.... Until an update on Ubuntu 23.10 a week ago randomly stopped snap application launching under Wayland, forcing me back to Xorg. I consider myself fairly Linux savvy but I still have no idea how to fix that.
- saurik 2y agoWere you benefiting from the use of Xorg and are now missing something important?
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y ago? It sounds like they don't care except that Xorg works and Wayland doesn't
- saurik 2y ago[edit] Oh. Damn. I now see I made a really critical typo/mistake in my question: I meant to say Wayland, not Xorg. :/ [original reply, based on a faulty interpretation of your response due to my not realizing I made the typo I had] Well, that would be my position for sure... at which point I would argue they in fact did know how to fix their issue: stop using Wayland. But like, people sometimes claim to have good reasons to be using Wayland, and so before I start going down that path I wanted to hear, from them, whether they actually cared about Wayland for a real reason.
- kiwijamo 2y agoWayland on Debian has been rock solid for me for several years now (and much better than Xorg ever was to be honest) using Intel GPUs in my experience. I haven't tried AMD/nVidia however. I use Flatpak which is another point of difference vs your setup using Snap. I can't really see myself going back to xorg TBH.
