I ❤️ xfce, dying for Wayland. Wish I knew how to ninja together xfce Wayland. As most apps are now compatible.
please no, XFCE is my last refuge for machines too old to support Wayland
Xfce is mostly used on older hardware. Dying to see how many times slower it’ll become on Wayland. I’m guessing x3.
In my experience, projects going to Wayland actually improves performance and system resource usage. I got around 200Mb RAM back, when I switched from Qtile X11 to Qtile Wayland. 900Mb on XOrg, 700Mb on Wayland. These are with the same configuration and the same programs being autostarted.
Wayland does improve performance but only in some perspectives (for example, UI smoothness). In my case the negative impact looked like CPU overhead. It was easier to make the system stutter and some apps like Firefox worked more sluggishly. I suspect it’s because of how Wayland works fundamentally.
EDIT: you know the society is doomed when it downvotes comments about personal experience.
Off with your head for supporting the accessibility nightmare that is Wayland :)
I hope there are a few dank wallpapers for the meme
Blaze it
IIRC, they expect to have it released in the first half of December if there are no issues or delays.
Wait but it hasn’t been 2 years yet!
