Truga posted:isn't fedora only supported for like 6 months? Nah, they put a new major release every 6 months but still support previous ones for ~13 months after they release. It's basically current release +2 in the past that are supported. Of course if you need a LTS release you can go with Red Hat.

Yeah, it lets XWayland use native X scaling. Of course full Wayland support in every application/toolkit would be best, but this is a close second.

KDE has been working for quite a while to get all their ducks in a row, and they are not quite there yet. Getting there, though. Even my weirdo monitor layout works out, and I haven't lost a session to a crash in a year.

i'd say wayland's there if you can handle a bit of teeth gritting while using it. no video accel in chromium (but works in firefox) that will get fixed sooner or later, weird scaling issues can happen when mixing x11 and wayland scaling (that often can be fixed by throwing in some qt environment variables), copy/paste between x and wayland can stop working and so on. smooth as hell though

I had a hell of a time using 2 pretty generic dell 1080p monitors with one rotated via that dialog on some intel gfx chipset. I ended up just disabling the rotated monitor for a while, realizing I didn't really miss it, and just taking it off my desk. thanks kde

I still get lots of issues with KDE with my multi monitor set-up, especially if I unplug one or plug it in while the laptop is closed. Apparently KDE needs to re-write a large part of their monitor handling stack to fix it, but it's expected that this will land in 5.27 (in ~4 months), and will fix most of the remaining issues with KDE and multiple monitors.

That's just the Phoronix writing style. It's a bit weird. However, Michael Larabel trawls through so many mailing lists and feeds and release pages that the site is genuinely useful as a digest of some of the stuff going on in the ecosystem.

he does post some extremely niche stuff with visibly minimal effort as well. but the effort stuff is great, honestly it has been excellent for understanding stuff like the bringup of intels efficiency cores. followed the whole process with meticulous tests, including being the primary source for bisecting some performance regressions in the kernel.

they aren't unless they're on a low refresh rate screen the combination of a high and variable refresh rate makes vsync a complete non-issue

Well, something was preventing mpv from playing anything under wayland and I was too lazy to figure it out at the moment, so I added code:I'll give this script a try soon, thanks. Everything else is working pretty great under wayland.
