  • I run KDE Plasma and very rarely have issues with wayland either. Maybe I am imagining it but it feels smoother than X11. I love that in wayland I can use adaptive sync with multiple monitors connected. X11 can’t do that. My main issue with it is that anything involving screenshare doesn’t work properly. So steamplay (as host, client is fine), slack screenshare (again, as the sharer) don’t work. I don’t understand all the people having issues, maybe it’s a hardware/driver thing? On my AMD GPU it is practically flawless.


  • I have a story that your comment reminded me of.

    When I went to university I got my first phone contract. I got it through groupon which got it down to something like £10 a month, £150 cashback at the start of the contract and a free (shitty) phone. Hardly any minutes, tiny amount of data, but unlimited texts. I was locked in for 2 years, but it was still hard to see how they would make much money off me. Then I got my first bill and I knew they definitely wouldn’t make ANY money off me. They messed up the groupon discount and instead of being charged £10 a month they were actually charging me 43p. The phone I got with it died in a couple of months, so I bought another phone with the money they gave me and used that for a couple years until they got bought out. When that happened the new owners fixed the price 😢 I had a good run though!






  • I am basically the same. I’m loving the ability to use uBlock Origin across phone and desktop and practically never see ads, but some sites just don’t work for me in Firefox. Like anything where I have signed up with my Google account, or my online banking. In which case I have Chrome installed as a backup. If I could purge it completely I would, but this works for now.
