- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

I tried to use Wayland. My windows flickered to black. I switched to X11. No issue. I'll try Wayland again next year. -casual Linux user
Tried it on PopOS and wondered how anyone could use it at all. Installed fedora on a different machine and it's flawless. Probably just the age of PopOS at this point.
Narrator voice: "Six years later, they still haven't tried it again."
I try every year and every year I get a different result. Currently on Wayland, next year's update might force me back to X.
Love the Wayland stability.
Slic3r doesn't work on it.
No idea of why. (But I suspect it's about the several monitors thing.) Will probably try again in a year or 5.
I don't know what kind of program it is, but if it works on X11, you could try forcing it to run inside Xwayland by unsetting the
WAYLAND_DISPLAYvariable. I've had to do this with Qt Creator because dockable windows didn't work at the time on Wayland.env --unset=WAYLAND_DISPLAY DISPLAY=:0 /path/to/progSlic3r? Original Slic3r? Why are you still using that?
It takes longer to configure a newer slicer than to test if the old one works in wayland :)
When I need something more advanced, like customized supports, I'll migrate. Didn't happen yet.
variable width extrusions are great, you can get a whole lot more detail in thin areas just automatically now
There's also tree supports (usually less material and much easier to design for and remove), lightning infill (weak infill for non-structural models)
maybe some other features that i'm forgetting
Forget features, just the basic path generator is so much better in the newer variants
