Guardrails have been in place where the Firefox browser has enabled Wayland by default (when running on recent GTK versions) but as of today that code has been removed…

      I’d say, by my metric of what “Year if the Linux Desktop” is, 2022 was that year. Absolutely everything came together and finally all clicked in. Not saying everything is perfect, but it works, works well, and has support for the majority of games made for Windows.

      Oh yeah, 👍 This is the year for sure! Mhmm. No way all these minor fixes to an overly complex OS aren’t the solution THIS time. /s

        Overly complex? That’s a baffling thing to say about any operating system when they are all insanely complicated. Windows and MacOS and a typical desktop Linux distro contain more code than a single human could write in a lifetime.

          Overly complex to the end user. Most end users don’t care how much code or internal complexity there is. AI generation is very complex but the interface is just regular English or whatever human language.

          These semantic misunderstandings are all over the Linux community and it’s reflective in the OS layout.
