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.

Yeh, I'll wait until the bugs are ironed out and my distro (mint) determines it's stable. No need to start asking for troubles when everything is working smoothly.

Then there's ppl like me: dual 4k with Wayland on Nvidia in Gnome with VRR. Hoorah!

Just waiting for explicit sync and I will be complete.

He's only the second person I've seen to claim working dual monitor on wayland with Nvidia. All my attempts have lasted 5 mins max before something drove me back to X11.

Same, hence my extreme disbelief.

What about PRIME, though? I'd like to give it a shot, but I only just ironed out my setup with triple-gpu(all different vendors) and a ton of sweat, I'm afraid it's going to be back to square one with wayland.

Same. I don't see why people need to argue about it or make a conscious decision about it anyway.

(My distro determined it was ready to use a while ago, so I've been switched over for a long time now. Indeed it's working fine, and I think I hardly even notice the difference.)
