Quoting: Vladimir-DimovYep, and... As I'm aware, there flat-out NO X11 desktop, AT ALL, strictly Wayland only... But for people using older apps or PC configurations that for some reason are working fine ONLY on X11 but NOT with Wayland, what they'll supposed to do? 🤔

As @tmtvl points out, that is the case with GNOME...

The Ubuntu Desktop session now runs only on the Wayland back end, because GNOME Shell can no longer run as an X.org session.

But not the case with other desktops...

Other desktop sessions, such as KDE on X11, Xfce, MATE, i3 and many others, can still be launched using an X.org session.

I'm sure Cinnamon gets lots of polish, being Mint's primary DE, but I don't think this one counts. In fact, all three Mint desktop variants handle printers in exactly the same way. Maybe you simply changed over just when it started working on Mint in general? I think Mint 21 switched to CUPS "Driverless Printing" / IPP as the default, so that's probably when it happened.

Well, I'll concede that that's entirely possible. Although, my T580 is on Mint XFCE 21.3 and it does not detect the WiFi printers. Perhaps the applet is not activated by default in XFCE?

Quoting: Phlebiac

Quoting: Caldathrasadding Wayland support does not equal removing Xorg support.

It does not. But GNOME 50 dropped X11 support. KDE plans to drop X11 support soon (they already split out the X11 stuff in preparation for it). Any desktop environment planning to stick around will support Wayland, and may drop X11 support if they end up with too few active users. That could take a long time in some cases, sure.

KDE is apparently targeting some time in 2027, with the 6.8 release of Plasma. If there will be no x11 support at all, then I will either have to switch my Kepler laptop to the Mesa/NVK driver (which I've read, does poorly in Plasma) or switch to a DE that still supports x11. I guess they risk losing all of us legacy hardware users. It's a shame. I really like Plasma, but there are always roadblocks that get in the way of using it on my laptops.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyCinnamon . . . I haven't tried it in a while, so I don't know what it's like these days. It's certainly available to me as a Mint user, so I probably will give it another shot at some point.

I switched over from Mate on my daily driver 2 or 3 versions of Mint ago. What attracted me at the time was the ability to customize the look of the DE (i had it looking like Win7 for a while). That novelty didn't stick but I stayed on Cinnamon afterwards. I am quite happy with it and it has some definite QoL improvements, like autodetecting WiFi printers. It is really a matter of taste, however. I'd check it out in a VM before committing to wholesale change.

Quoting: jkaartI can move to Cinnamon immediately when it has Classic Menu "applet" (do not know what Cinnamon calling these)

I think "applet" would be appropriate. That's how I refer to them. They have also been called Cinnamon Spices.

Would this be the French equivalent of a class-action lawsuit? It's no less than Ubisoft deserves.

this one was a little more unusual with it changing the series into third-person

I did not know this. I'd always assumed it was first-person, like its predecessors.

The reality of free-to-play, online games...

View this comment - View article - View full comments

Being that I am not a fan of MMOs (or any online games, really), it would seem to me that the most important aspect of an online game would be replayability. Wouldn't an endgame scenario interfere with that?

Once you've finished the endgame, what is there left to do?
