On: Three signs that Wayland is becoming the favored way to get a GUI on Linux

[juujian]

I can only offer anecdotal evidence, but here it goes. Used to have plenty of issues with scaling under Wayland, particular with my nvidia gpu. Now I am running an intel-only machine (yes I would prefer AMD) with a scaling factor of 1.5, and it runs very well. It's a very efficient machine, too, using only around 6W at idle, sometimes dipping below 5W.

When talking Wayland, there are no generalities because there is no program called "Wayland" -- can you specify which compositor you used? GNOME, KDE, or a wlroots-based one?

What is a good wlroots based compositor (non tiling)?

An incomplete list of compositors (they forgot hyprland):

Among non-tiling ones are: hopalong, labwc, laikawm, tinybox, waybox, wayfire.

Labwc is kind of openboxish https://github.com/labwc/labwc

Thanks... the screenshot looks good (and the setting to disable rounded corners is right there).

I'm running gnome.
