Did you mean "now"?

Get on it. If you can manage to daily drive it for a few months I think you'll learn a lot. When I jumped ship I only knew basic commands like cd and ls.

two of us, two of us, two of us

this is like that Trevor Noah bit about camping. I have these walls too in my country but this one looks quite convincing.

Happy to hear that you're having a decent experience :)

I don't have personal experience with nvidia graphics. How does proprietary work now? I have heard it's gotten great this last year? Or is it horrible still?

There is a rush because Red Hat isn't interested in maintaining wayland anymore. Neither red hat nor Kde/gnome are interested in supporting x org in the long run. For wayland to get better and do the things it currently lacks at it needs a greater user base and that's why there is a rush by major people in the linux community (kde and fedora for example). Right now its at that there are somethings that wayland can't do that x org can and somethings that x org can do but wayland can't. Since wayland is being developed actively and is the future it's the obvious choice and x org has far more annoying use cases that are just not gonna get fixed "unlike wayland". Majority of the users shouldn't have any problems switching to wayland.

Does multi-monitor sets work yet?

Yes.

Does it still randomly crashes when logging out?

It hasn't done that for the 1.5 years that I have been using it for.

Is Pipewire support ready?

Yes. It's so ready that even ubuntu uses it with wayland by default.

Does it have support for touch monitors already

Yes. It, in fact, has better support than x org.

Does it handle internationalization better now?

I don't know about the problem with i18n but I don't think this will affect most users.

Onscreen keyboard is still a pain to run but maliit works on kde+gnome/wayland. When was the last time you used wayland dude? I am not trying to sound this argumentative. If I do, my apologies but I have been listening to these same points being regurgitated over and over again when they have been fixed long ago.

Yeah I do know that. How does that affect my argument?

So wait, is the wall just exposed like that? No plaster no paint? Is this deliberate design?

You running the proprietary drivers or Nouveau?

No, unless your use case is very specific (like being an artist needing color calibration/the software you use needs to position a multi-window setup etc. And color calibration is being actively worked on should have basic support in Plasma 6 according to Nate Graham) wayland is pretty much ready for daily use. It does have annoyances but they are getting actively fixed unlike X which is barely maintained and has glaring security issues. Fedora KDE has even decided to completely remove the X server on its 40th release.

Now this thread is the second result when I search that lol.

Same here. Won't be good for the guy if he lives in expensive areas like new York city or Seattle (if he's American) but in suburban/rural area, 60k/year for streaming isn't bad at all.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Didn't know they did releases. Thank you!

☦ Oh god ☦

Oh, didn't know that thanks! My comment is just school IT trauma lol.
