Xorg is dead, long live Wayland - Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) dropping Xorg

I'd agree about Gnome not being the best option. I haven't followed Gnome progress in a while, but someone told me it doesn't even have minimizing windows concept now. Stuff like CSD and such also never made a lot of sense to me.

Point of Debian is a moot thing. A lot of people use Sid or testing for desktop purposes. You wouldn't want to use Debian stable for that purpose at all.

But, it's not a newbie friendly distro to use. I'd appreciate Debian testing becoming more officially desktop targeted distro (than Sid). But Debian developers never had enough resources or desire to do that.

Quoting: slaapliedjeWhile I'm not surprised that KDE has settings for the clipboard... still kind of weird :P I know I played with something called gclip(?) that had a clipboard history in Gnome, but it kind of ignored if things were passwords....
There is an explicit setting for keeping those clipboards separate or not. I usually keep them separate same as X11 does:



Passwords can be a special case though in general for security reasons. For example when you copy a password from KeepassXC it's not added to KDE clipboard history. And that's a valid thing to do.

I have no issues with clipboard in KDE. I think they fixed all their major clipboard problems that Wayland session had. It even has middle click selection paste which distinguishes that from regular copy paste clipboard.

Take a look also at clipboard settings.

Quoting: F.UltraThat is indeed an outlier that explains what is seen in the video linked by Lofty. Looks to be the QD-OLED pattern. Compare that with the WOLED pattern that is on my LG that is just RWBG in that order in straight horizontal pattern quite similar to the old CRT TV or the modern LCD pattern (with the exception of the White pixel).
Looks similar to that Lenovo OLED pattern I posted above. Especially that double blue subpixel.

Above one really looks confusing. I think you need all subpixels to be on to see the pattern.

The image I posted is from here:

Quoting: CyrilI use XFCE. :wink:
But not on RHEL? Meaning other distros aren't removing xorg yet, which could make it an issue.

Quoting: CyrilWhat about people who likes XFCE (like me)? :unsure::happy:
Is there anyone else in the same case?

Doesn't look like they have an ETA yet.

To comment on the above, HDR when it will be supported will only work on Wayland. So it's only a pro argument if you bring it up.

Quoting: tuubiDigital Audio Workstations. And this is pretty funny, seeing as I just read a while back that PreSonus Studio One recently added Linux support and requires Wayland.
Heh? What kind of issues can be missing then? Pipewire can work very well for audio and can be integrated with Wayland compositors properly. Wayland is a display / graphics protocol, what does audio have to do with it anyway?
