what is wayland and x11, i've heard it thrown around but i don't get it
VOh this is the same guy
Ki've tried looking it up but im too baby
VThat uhhh... That checks out.
GYup lol
GDifferent display servers. Tl;dr is that Wayland is newer and fully supported while X11 is getting depreciated. Wayland is pretty much feature complete outside the flickering NVIDIA bugs
Kdisplay server is?
VCompositors, basically what renders your windows for you.
X11 is 40-ish years old and the codebase is a mess. It's been put into "maintainence" (Basically just gets fixes, no new updates)
This has led people into thinking X11 is way more stable than it really is, because it's codebase has basically been untouched for a decade.
Wayland is the replacement to X11, and is finally in it's primetime after over a decade of development. It's codebase is a lot sleeker, it is a LOT more secure and is what developers are targeting for new features (e.g. HDR).
Wayland is controversial because it still has a few issues and it's more secure approach has some usability trade-offs which are slowly being solved as time goes on, as well as the whole Nvidia issue.

BIt didn't take much scrolling through his reddit post history to see the type of person he/she is
D>nixos
Kalso do you guys know good freeware disk management software for windows
Ksometimes the built in disk management doesn't work and i don't trst these search results
Pmanaging what about them?
Klike
Kreformatting partitions
Ki've used something called easeus before but
Kit's like
K"free trial"
PI always just used the built in tools windows has
VHe's actually a wayland guy apparently
VI kinda find it weird a NixOS user would hate on immutability
VFriendly fire
Voh wait I'm getting people confused
VWe're corporate shills
Kwhat is immutability
VNot being able to make changes to your system files. Many people consider Bazzite/Fedora Atomic "Immutable" because it limits changes that can be made to your system somewhat.
VIt's kind of a difficult thing to properly define
Kso people complain because the system is more user/newbie-friendly?
Ksounds like linux users tbh
VSomeone else was
Ki see
VHe was complaining because Bazzite is based on Fedora, which is sponsored by RedHat, who are owned by IBM
VSo in reality we're all IBM shills
Koh trueee
Ktruee
Jit gets worse
KIBM handheld when
Jthe ones who call themselves "experts" are the ones saying that.
VJust install bazzite on a steam deck smh
Kno
KIBM
Kwait
