For some it's not so much a matter of "not liking Wayland" as it is a matter of simply "not working" - my system, for instance. I cannot get a working desktop running Plasma on Wayland (Tumbleweed, NVidia GTX1080Ti, Nvidia drivers installed manually). And, no, I can't even use the packaged Nvidia drivers from the repository, either, for the same reason - no working desktop. For some reason, my configuration only works with the drivers installed from the Nvidia installer, and Wayland gives me nothing but a black screen (so I'm stuck with Plasma/X11). Not that there's anything wrong with that, until it finally goes away... But that's OT for the current thread - just making the point that "new and shiny" doesn't always work best...or at all... -- ============================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au CCNA #CSCO12880208 ============================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
