From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm currently on Wayland with Nvidia hardware and it's running fine tbh

yup, same. especially after explicit sync lands in a couple of days, even the rest of the minor problems should vanish.

I can't wait for my GPU to not be at 70c running Firefox.

Same here. With the exception of the explicit sync, which will hopefully be resolved this week, I have been running Plasma 6 wayland since February. And honestly when I tried the X11 version it had more issues.

fine here as well. I don't game much these days but when I do, it's pretty nice. Ever since the update that made the "night light" functional (the blue-light filter), I've been pretty happy!

You're one of the lucky ones. Due to how the compositor works, certain hardware configurations will either be completely fine, or completely fucked.

I land half way. Some applications are totally busted, while others are fine. Can't wait for next month.
