    There are still things that work on X11 that don’t work on Wayland but Wayland has more security, more features and is actually being developed now.

    Pick your distros default, if something graphical doesn’t work switching might do the trick.

    Common issues with wayland are mostly related to screen sharing or lower level thingies like programmatically pressing the mouse.

    Common issues with X11 is VRR, HDR, fractional scaling and multi monitor configuration.











  • There are some questions I think are very hard to answer like this one. If it’s my SO I’ll explain once per month, if it’s a rando I’ll avoid socialising, if it’s a friend I’ll probably mention it once.

    It also depends on what the efficiency stuff is, are we talking software use, cutting onion, tieing shoes, work stuff or changing diapers? I’m most likely over thinking this but how can you not, context is so varied here.






  • You can tune any distro to any degree you want and replace everything including a custom built kernel to get performance. But you know not everyone can/wants to do that, I have a toddler so I’m not going to take a whatever Debian and install a new scheduler and whatever just cause.

    You might forget that Linux desktop is growing super fast and fiddling with stuff under the hood is not that common and noobs and people with experience end up fucking things up constantly. Having something that’s performant, optimised for your use case, whatever optimisations baked in won’t break with updates and you can just install it and forget is a really big deal. This is just not something that was available.

    I think you should stop the hate and allow people to be happy with the distro they like for whatever reason.
