I am trying to update my #nixos flake and discover that #x11 is not supported by the latest #gnome but I also know that some of my hardware (#HPelitedesk800 , VM machines running xrdp and x11spice) fails to show correct windows under #wayland so this is very un-linuxy and I feel like a sort of macos hardware obsolescence vibe ... Or is #Xfce the new way forward here for the good old tech? Thinkpad #x230 once failed with fifo underrun on pipe B when running wayland
@adingbatponder Thats how progress works with limited resources. Developers moved to wayland, nobody really develops or tests on X11 and ultimately it is removed to focus on one code path.
@fabiscafe Yes. Fully understand. I am experimenting with work-arounds with services.desktopManager.gnome.flashback.enableMetacity = true
under nixos... will see where that takes me. I would have expected some sort of retro limited gnome option to run by default if the user specified x11 (for a good reason related to hardware).
