    I’ve been around long enough to have tried gnome on wayland way back when it was trying to use Weston as a compositor.

    I’m well aware of what Wayland is and that my issue is with individual applications not playing nice with mutter’s handling of fractional scaling and not setting the correct mode.

    And I’m not sure what it is you’re trying to accomplish by intimating that I don’t know what I’m talking about, but you can definitely take your horseshit elsewhere.

        I’m criticizing your reasoning for not using Wayland.

        I thought you read my posts. You didn’t see that I use both Wayland and x11?

        I don’t understand why you’re so bent on telling strangers they don’t know what they’re talking about. You don’t know me, you don’t know my exposure to Wayland nor my motivations for using Linux in the first place.

        I’m not against wayland and I’ve never claimed to be, so I’m not sure where you’re getting that i’m “too stubborn” to move away from what I’m using.

        You seem to have a real problem with assumptions, especially from people you don’t know. Have a better day, and stop taking out your frustrations on strangers.

          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.

        xfce isn’t a distro, it’s a desktop environment
        very funny that you’re so aggro when you clearly have no fucking idea what you’re talking about

        lol, they edited it
