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.

Not a DE, but I'm really waiting for tearing on sway so I can play games without a second tty 🥲

Nothing. But once Wayland supports xscreensaver or vice versa I’ll switch.

I saw the cool feature of ChromeOS Desktop where you can save all open Window states inside a Workspace and resume them on another day again. Never used it on ChromeOS as I am not sure how but this seems easily possible soon with Plasma 6 where you can hibernate or rather store the current state of your Window.

for them to admit that wayland is just not ready. Get feature parity first, then switch.

I use Wayland on the daily and don't have any issues with it. What problems are you having?

There's not much I'm "dying" for in Cinnamon; it's very complete.

I wouldn't mind if the Nemo Actions system got a GUI editor. I think it's such a little known feature...if you go to ~/local/share/nemo/actions, you can add config files that can add items to the right click context menu, including but not limited to shell scripts. I have a few basic ImageMagick scripts that allow me to do things like edit images or convert them from one file format to another just by right clicking a file.

Literally just button remapping support for my MX Ergo.

And for the fool who always comes into these threads to tell me again that I must not have tried in several years, I tried last month. Talked to the Solaar dev, tried to reach out to Logitech, literally nothing to be done.

Some kind of easy notification system and panel/dock/taskbar notification emblems. The support for stuff like that is incredibly spotty right now and is one of the final things preventing me from switching off windows.

EDIT: Have found a decent solution to this via Dash to Panel. I have been running Zorin OS for over the last month now on my main PCs!

WMR support, I would ditch Windows in a heartbeat
