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
Solution in #nixos #flake for machine ThinkPad #x230 seems to be:
services.xserver.enable = true;
services.displayManager.gdm.enable = true;
services.desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;
services.desktopManager.gnome.flashback.enableMetacity = true;
# At the GDM login screen, click the gear # icon to choose between:
# - "GNOME" (Wayland)
# - "GNOME Flashback (Metacity)" #X11
and
nixos-rebuild boot + reboot is required (not switch) when jumping across major nixpkgs versions
