[narrator voice: it wasn’t “just as easy as” nor did “everything work great”]

how are you only getting 1% battery drain overnight? my pixel 7 w grapheneos drains 10% overnight and battery saver makes it worse somehow

I would like to know your secrets

yes, using spectacle I imagine

I use different software, apparently that matters

thanks!

I will be forced to, but x11 is no longer being developed, so its not very secure to do so

additionally, Wayland is going to be default on kde, and Im not sure if that means that it’ll be default for me too if I update

not to mention that with it default on KDE, I’ll be running into more and more bugs that just, will not be fixed, because “use Wayland” will be the new response to bug reports (GNOME actively does this with a critical GTK4/libadwaita bug)

the point is, Wayland is being rushed and was never ready for default

still frustrating as all hell, these programs just worked on x11

also Synergy/Barrier/etc dont work yet and would need “non standard” protocols. Pretty critical for me

I am an enduser and I just expect things to work, but one of the most critical things of my setup wont

sighh, that sucks

does this go for pretty much all programs, like say an email client too? or is there a limit to this?

wait so you’re telling me I’m gonna be forced to use spectacle on wayland if I use KDE?

I’m told screenshots now work on wayland. The idea was that spectacle would not have worked on wayland because of how locked down it is

that’s something

I’ve heard that synergy/barrier/etc doesn’t work though and that is critical for my daily workflow so I won’t be switching until it is supported

Every time I learn more about what Wayland can’t do, I learn of even more critical stuff that doesn’t work

no screenshots? really? who approved this trashfire as default. That’s about as ridiculous as no global hotkeys

exactly this, I’ll use it when it works with no questions asked. I.e: when it becomes invisible to me as an enduser

as for now, it isn’t, far from it

fucking what synergy doesn’t work on Wayland? welp. I use that daily and no, that’s not optional, its rather critical for my setup

fuck

I’m not a she but otherwise yes I agree

for the end user, that is irrelevant

all of these arguments are great and all but as an enduser: I just want things to work

I don’t care about the why’s or hows. A lot of these arguments explain and justify breakage

I am an enduser. I expect things to work, specifically I expect the programs I already use to continue working. I expect to lose no functionality

If they don’t work, then clearly its broken. If I lose functionality, Wayland clearly wasn’t ready

I use simple calendar pro (which is free on fdroid) and it just has a full calendar view as a widget. with one column per weekday and one row per week. The widget is called calendar monthly

edit: ah heck I seem to have misread, sorry! Leaving it up in case anyone else finds it useful

if I knew what exactly was causing it hardware wise I would have a way to fix it, and I don’t

given GNOME’s solution is “use Wayland” (which I can’t for a variety of reasons) I don’t think I can ever figure out what the problem is. Their attitude from the start is already non helpful.

all I know is my hardware isn’t niche nor really really old. And Im not the only one experiencing this

certain hardware configurations. I have two computers on linux. One of them has issues with GTK4, the other one doesn’t. The only difference between these machines is hardware.

And yeah, I agree that’s premature for them to do
