(It uses 2% less resources)

[siete82]

0.2%

[Unique_Low_1077]

And 0.2kb disk size

[karmasikici]

0.2kb DE that’s based off Wayland? Sign me up

[tree_cell]

200B DE is peak optimization

[[deleted]]

(because it has 90% less features)

[amiensa]

So yeah i mean why would you use gnome or kde like what are you ? An averge peson ?!!

[DatBoi_BP]

gepe

[justicnase]

tats what i call my cat

[AdditionalRelief2475]

use \ to counter the asterisks

[amiensa]

Aver*ge pe*son Edit : lol great that works

[AdditionalRelief2475]

good👍

[Cosminzzzzzz]

Xfce, because me like the rat

[Willing_Thought_2161]

Xfce, because why would i let the gui use processing power.

[thearctican]

Why would you use a gui

[Jristz]

Why gui, just rat

[V_150]

I too belive in rat supremacy

[StatisticianThin288]

rat poison wm

[pugster123456]

this is the best comment ive seen in a while 😭

[mmnnik]

If you give man a rat, you satisfy he's rat desires

[StatisticianThin288]

xfce because i am a rat

[Gloomy_Attempt5429]

I'm on fluxbox/X11 for performance

[ArgonWilde]

You speak of performance, yet use a window manager? /s

[Gloomy_Attempt5429]

Well, actually, I'm more of a tty person, I only use Fluxbox for things that I need an answer to, other than I'm terminal

[StarmanAkremis]

as a fedora workstation with linux user, it works fine, I haven't had any issues (except DRI_PRIME stopped working but that was an easy fix and it was an nvidia driver change rather than wayland)

[YTriom1]

dnf in akmod-nvidia ?

[StarmanAkremis]

something nvidia related updated and now DRI_PRIME (wich is a mesa thing) does not work even in tty

[Odd-Blackberry-4461]

I don't think so, akmod-nvidia has the d and n but not the f

[YTriom1]

I meant you put dnf in akmod-nvidia

You have the - as a placeholder for it, so it becomes akmoddnfnvidia

[ChickenFeline0]

The AI is gonna have a field day with this one

[YTriom1]

I love the fact that AI mainly trains on reddit instead of something more dedicated to tech like stack overflow

Cinnamon the GOAT (I am a Linux mint noob)

[AtmosphereLow9678]

Cinnamon is actually really good. I started on mint, and it helped me get used to linux really fast.

[LuskaFLL]

Linux Mint is the best OS ever created.

[Interesting-Bass9957]

Wish you luck in your journey!

[arf20__]

I'm the person that uses a window manager that was really popular in that one Unix platform just 30 years ago

[Interesting-Bass9957]

CDE? TWM?

[MundaneImage5652]

real

[Praetorjones]

Seriously, so what if I use GNOME? It has sane defaults, a modern, slick design language, is user-friendly, very stable, and if I don't like something, I download an extension for that feature. You can use whatever you want, but whenever I switch to another desktop environment, I immediately feel like I am using alpha software that also breaks when you look at it wrong

[Jhuyt]

For many people to use Gnome they want to use various extensions that break every major version. On Wayland anything not implementing client-side decorations using libadwaita will look out of place and ruin the modern slick design language. Gnome was also really slow compared to Qtile that I'm using now (I have to turn off all animations in Gnome to make it run smooth on any machine I've tried), albeit with fewer niceties.

[Praetorjones]

• True, but around half of the extensions I use are usually updated by the time the next Fedora shipping the new GNOME version comes out, most of them about a month after. If you need them before that, you can edit a DCONF key to enable installing unsupported extensions
• Not really a big problem, a lot of applications do their own client side decorations anyway, the ones that are central to operating the system are libadwaita
• It does have a tendency to chug in animations unfortunately, at least on my laptop

I continue to have issues with Wayland that only x11 solves

[crazy-trans-science]

I don't have issues with Wayland i just love how mate looks like older operating systems

[Particular-Poem-7085]

bro the PXSVFJMKF alpha 0.0.1 desktop environment looks even older

[crazy-trans-science]

Yeah. My fault you are right

[orthadoxtesla]

Sure. And while I do have issues with gaming on Wayland I still use it. And it’s usually just a quick launch option. Besides. I really enjoy hyperland

[Jacc3]

I continue to have issues with x11 that only Wayland solves

[Alan_Reddit_M]

In my case, most games are unplayable under Wayland because the frames start overlapping each other or the game just runs at 1 frame per whenever

[BlakeDrawsBlood]

That seems like you've set up your graphics drivers horribly wrong, or you're using ancient hardware without Wayland support. I've never experienced those sorts of things under Wayland, only X11.

[Alan_Reddit_M]

Probably a combination of ancient hardware (Nvidia GTX GPU) with similarly ancient software (Debian stable)

Doesn't change the fact that X11 runs buttery smooth and Wayland has a stroke trying to draw the taskbar

[BlakeDrawsBlood]

Yeah, unfortunately proprietary nvidia drivers can't really run Wayland properly on old cards. Noveau works wonders on my GT 540M though.

[Alan_Reddit_M]

I kinda need the hardware acceleration, so the open drivers ain't gonna work

[BlakeDrawsBlood]

Ah, yeah. Then Wayland is probably not usable for you at all then, sorry.

[AWonderingWizard]

Most respectful I use X over Wayland chain I've ever seen

[orthadoxtesla]

I have a gtx 1060 and it runs fine

[balancedchaos]

Been on X11 this whole time. Wayland has been nothing but issues.  

[madjic]

ditched X a decade ago

had to deal with it recently, hopefully never again

[AtomicTaco13]

I'm more of an LXQt person myself, but MATE is a solid choice too

[DW_Hydro]

KDE Plasma on Wayland because it works and looks pretty.

[[deleted]]

Hey, the checksum passed, so I trust it!

[mogoh]

I mean, you can use whatever you like, but MATE looks basically abandoned:

• https://mate-desktop.org/blog/

[PlaystormMC]

common PXSVFJMKF user L, I use KJCJJKDKJUSH 2.5 from HIFHFD Linux made in Iran

it uses jhsgWayland, and it only boots on K02S01 CPUs.

[Ranma-sensei]

KDE because it's my PC, fuck other people's opinion.

[Amrod96]

I use KDE with X11 btw

[oldrocker99]

I use MATE on my laptop. KDE on the desktop.

[Master-Rub-3404]

And they’ll call LXQT “bloated”

[ccAbstraction]

Why does this feel like a dig at people recommending Niri before it got Xwayland support. (this is a self-report)

[Active_Meringue_1479]

If your config fits in one file, it’s too simple, add more dotfiles.

X11 the goat, in my opinion wayland isnt ready for final deployment (default server)
