Sige 😺Uuurgh... why does everything run like crap on #wayland? Or rather #kde on #wayland.
I never had any major performance problems on #xfce and #x11. Here kwin_wayland keeps using at least 20% or often 40% CPU. Chromium even hogs all the CPU time it can get when open.
Firefox only runs well through XWayland.
Who said wayland is stable? #archlinux #ThinkPadX260
(Also.. suggestions are appreciated. I already tried looking up my sympoms online)

NielsoSo, testing plugins on occasion, I found out that my #Linux #UbuntuStudio 24.04 does not run #WindowsVST any more.
It just doesn't work no more. I mean, the VSTs do run, but the GUIs are all not useable.
This might be due to a switch to #Nvidia graphics, which I had hoped to solve a problem with #Lightworks, which it didn't.
So basically, I can't do audio production any more, because I need #Voxengo #Elephant and #Fabfilter.
There is no mouse pointer in Windows #VST gui windows. Some windows are just plain black. Of plugins I have been using literally for over a decade.
Other #Wine applications do run with GUI. I'm using #LinVST, which used to work well for years. (And still on #X11, no #Wayland)
I'm screwed. Either I will be able to solve this somehow, or I can't accept production jobs.
This wouldn't have happened on macOS, I must say… as a person doing recording on Linux for 20 years now, including a couple of full-blown album releases.

Digital Freedom FoundationAs someone who likes to see new life brought to legacy #FOSS software, I was very happy to hear about a new fork of GTK2: https://git.devuan.org/Daemonratte/gtk2-ng It includes patches from other #GTK2 forks. There are plans to test out classic #GTK software and a desktop environment with it. #OpenSource #X11 #FreeSoftware #RetroComputing #Linux
