Quoting: einherjarThis article reminded me, that I switched to Wayland out of curiosity about half a year ago.
I just forgot about it, everything seems to work.

I use an AMD graphics card though, I have no idea how well it works with Nvidia.
Work's lole s***t and there n lies the problem. Seems as though he has chosen to forgot about half+ the marketshare.

Quoting: ScottCarammellWhuff, seems a bit premature to me but I guess I'm not as smart as the people working on this. Hopefully they'll fix non-mouse-controlled cursors not wanting to show up on Wayland by then or else X4 is cooked for me.
something starting to feel shady about KDE love affair with this broken pos compositor if you ask me. There's nothing wrong with your tale on this. I agree.

Bad enough the os is so poorly written but you got to starte durking up the PCs firmware now also?? Absolutely unacceptable. Stay out my bios thats not your domain. The boot chain issues are for the user to address. Maybe instead of relying on secure booth which honestly isn't even a commonly used attack vector you could for once in your miserable life just put the work in and actually refactor your code.

Plasma 6 full steam ahead with only one showstopper left for Wayland by default

Quoting: Purple Library Guy
Quoting: BlackBloodRumYou can install a nice, easy to use distro, that sets everything up for you, but has limited customizability. This is great for those that "just want it to work".
Short of ChromeOS, I don't think there are actually any distros like this. Even Mint, which is about as "everything set up" as Linux gets, still has the command line readily available and perfectly functional. You can tinker with it fine if you want--if that was what you wanted, you probably would have picked another distro, but it doesn't in any way hinder you.
Kde definitely has a really good onboarding experience.
