X11?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Apparently Wayland has become default in most distros, and actually installing X11 back on some of them is a lot of work (it was straightforward only on CachyOS) and I don't have the tux-fu to wedge it in by sheer hackery.

So there's this end of life situation and the fact that I work with different monitors and do CGI so there's a few more downsides there too (scaling, color management)
