Reason why Wayland isn't enabled by default?

I enabled Wayland manually in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and I've seen no issues. Screen tearing went away which is a plus. So is there a logical reason why Wayland isn't enabled by default?

Not asking for ranting purposes, I'm just curious. I thought Pop_OS! is currently incompatible with Wayland.

Dualboot with Linux Mint and Win 10 Pro. How to stop Windows 10 from overriding my boot order in BIOS on every restart?
  • I give you 3 options and you google them and choose the one which suits you the best. 1. Change the boot order in your bios (Mint drive first) 2. Install package 'os-prober' and then update-grub (Win10 will appear in Grub) 3. Install rEFInd to replace Grub and choose everytime which OS you want to boot (set timeout by yourself). Warning: theming the rEFInd is known to be addictive.

  • linux mint
  • During the year with LMDE5 I haven't faced any issues with it. I tried Debian 11 for a week and even an usable Rust-package (up-to-date) was pain to install. I'm not sure, but I claim that Mint Team updates some packages into the repo by themselves.

    LMDE also includes flatpaks so they're up-do-date anyway.

  • linux mint
  • It's very nice if you don't have Nvidia gpu. LMDE6 might even offer better support for Nvidia since Debian 12 allowed non-free drivers.

    I use LMDE5 and promise of it being faster/snappier than regular isn't over estimated: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=374128

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to copy the URL of the page you're on?
  • You can configure Qutebrowser for that. In Qutebrowser the insert mode isn't that intuitive as in bloated browsers, but you get used to it.

    My Qutebrowser uses Vim keys for scrolling and browsing, but in insert mode I use Emacs keybinds. Best of both worlds (for me).

  • Format drive if wrong decryption key is prompted?

    Is there a possibility to make Linux install automatically delete the data if wrong decryption key is set x amount of times?

    Would be nice too, if it started automatically to overwrite the data too even full disk overwrite takes a lots of time.

    I tried to google docs, but I don't know the right words.

    How can I add a terminal app to autostart in spesific workspace?

    I'm new to Sway. I don't know how to describe this clearly, but I'd like to get a messaging app to autostart in workspace 3 on every boot. That app runs inside a foot terminal.

    If there's a doc available, please give the url. I couldn't find.

    [bug report] 0.37 not showing image right. Details in description

    When I try to zoom this picture: https://lemmy.sdf.org/pictrs/image/3715574c-e575-44c4-9f79-0e578ac96953.png It is very very blurred despite being 1440p in size. When I try to download it, it downloads 50% of the horizontal top and down part is just black. I can't upload any pictures into Jerboa so it is not included in this post.

    Superior thanks for all the hard work and we happy users try to grow the userbase!

    Is Systemd that bad afterall?

    SystemD is blamed for long boot times and being heavy and bloated on resources. I tried OpenRC and Runit on real hardware (Ryzen 5000-series laptop) for week each and saw only 1 second faster boot time.

    I'm old enough to remember plymouth.service (graphical image) being the most slowest service on boot in Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. But I don't see that as an issue anymore. I don't have a graphical systemD boot on my Arch but I installed Fedora Sericea and it actually boots faster than my Arch despite the plymouth (or whatever they call it nowadays).

    My 2 questions:

    1. Is the current SystemD rant derived from years ago (while they've improved a lot)?
    2. Should Linux community rant about bigger problems such as Wayland related things not ready for current needs of normies?
