From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's not in xfce yet, so no. Also I have some weird bugs with the UI of plasma glitching out on LMDE/Debian.

We've come a long way but we're not yet at stability.

Pretty much all the Xfce4 apps support Wayland natively

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

They technically support Wayland but a lot of stuff is still missing or incomplete, there's still a lot of work to be done.

If I could use xfce4-panel on Hyprland instead of the dissatisfying bars currently available that would be so clutch. It's what I used back on i3

You can if you build it from source, though menus didn't work for me on River (other than Whisker Menu). Worked great apart from that.

[–] KindaABigDyl 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah I tried. It wasn't working for me back then. It was a while ago tho, so maybe I should try again

For Wayland, I think you need the unreleased xfce-panel from GitHub ( 4.19+ ).
