Imagine criticizing Debian for instability.

There it is

I’m literally reading your posts and responding to your words.

The real issue is that even today, some apps (Firefox, gedit, some terminals) don’t adjust their scaling to the new screen

This shows you dont know what fractional scaling is otherwise you would have used the term.

I work in Linux as a daily driver for work and personal. I don’t care what the tools are, but they need to work and stay out of the way. Right now, Wayland implementation of multi monitor for my hardware is too much bother, I’ll try it again in a year.

This is you being stubborn because you’re justifying your inaction based on false manufactured premises.

I have no objections to Wayland itself, but I value the kind of stability xfce gives me, which is stable, predictable, and gets out of the way. Right now, on my hardware, Wayland/gnome is not there.

This shows you don’t understand what Wayland is because you compared a compositor protocol to a desktop environment.

The fact that you’re comparing Wayland to XFCE tells us you’re not entirely sure what you’re doing. One is a compositor and the other is a desktop environment.

Your problems are with GNOME. I dont even think you could define what X11 and Wayland are based on your posts, much less articulate why one is better than the other

Start by reading about Wayland. Don’t make shit up and defend a position you can’t even articulate. It’s cringe.

I was wrong. Thank you. And I don’t have Trixie on the 32-bit Thinkpad, it was my other laptop.

Not all 32-bit systems are i386. For example, my 32-bit Debian thinkpad runs Trixie just fine. Because it’s i686 which is still supported.

So again, Debian 13 isn’t dropping 32-bit support. Just i586 support and below.

This is not true. (Edit: nevermind, I was wrong)

They’re dropping support for i586 and below. 32-bit systems with i686+ processors will still run fine.

I also run an OS that doesn’t define my online personality ✌️😌

It seems like this schtick is demonstrably a part of your online personality.

Wild that you chose my exact distro + desktop combo (Fedora + XFCE). I love it but I wouldn’t expect others to in 2025. Nice pick dude.

How do you figure that Fedora is intimidating?

This is such a major issue for streaming. It’s why I had to stop using Gnome. Global hotkeys for OBS, Discord, etc are such a crucial part of it. It’s actually shocking to me how Linux has moved on without global hotkeys and nobody seems to care.

The Plasma solution is sweet, but I’m sticking to X11 until Wayland actually functions for streaming.

Wishing you luck. Linux is fun AF.

You misunderstood the article. I was being charitable.

We didn’t read the same article, clearly.
