  • Don’t make this a personal attack. Do you have any article you consider to be shitty? As an example, so we are on the same page. Do you ever wrote them a message or did an issue, so they are aware of the issue and can correct the mistake? Do you think they read this post of you and stop posting, because you do not agree with what they consider to be useful?

    Sorry but, you are not the person who decides who can post and who cannot. I have seen shitty articles that others find useful, and I saw good articles that others find shitty. Do you get what I mean?


  • That does not answer my question. Who is judging what is bad and shitty guides, and who has the necessary experience? I disagree with you. Let people write articles that YOU think are shitty. Beginners or professional grade knowledge, I am for the open web where noobs share their knowledge as well. Assuming they are written by a human, not talking about Ai.

    Do you have any article as an example what you consider shitty and you do not allow to be posted on the free web?

    I like the focus of improving the little usability things and bug fixing in general. Especially cloning the “panel” is useful if you want try new configurations or widgets without ruining your current setup. And hopefully their drawing tablets widget finally supports Wayland, as this one of the major points they have on the post. At least on Plasma 6.2 this is still not the case.




  • In short, X11 is a bit unsecure in its concept (like every program can read keyboard inputs you are doing right now). The multi monitor configuration possibilities and mixing different setups is basically impossible (I mean stuff like mixing 4k@120 Hz with G-Sync and another one with 1080p@60 Hz with just V-Sync). X11 or XOrg has a long history since the 80s with many versions, the code base is spaghetti code and its not a pleasure for developers to work on.

    Wayland is new, with a fresh and modern code base. It eliminates the security and monitor issues. Programs not written for Wayland does not work, but luckily there is XWayland, which allows running X11 games on Wayland. You can think of like Proton for X11, but without the benefits of Wayland, just a compatibility mode. In Wayland there are sub protocols, meaning standard definitions, that are developed and added after some time passes. I personally think protocols being like an addon that allows doing more stuff in a standardized way across all systems that support it. Developers in Wayland have a much better time working with its modern code base.

    Have a look at https://wayland.freedesktop.org/docs/html/ch03.html .






  • Actually that’s my biggest issue. Give me settings, give me choice

    That’s an GNOME issue mostly I think. It has this least possible settings and oversimplification approach, because GNOME thinks people can’t handle it. Ubuntu modified the configuration of GNOME that it looks and behave somewhat similar to previous Unity versions.
