I’ve been around long enough to have tried gnome on wayland way back when it was trying to use Weston as a compositor.
I’m well aware of what Wayland is and that my issue is with individual applications not playing nice with mutter’s handling of fractional scaling and not setting the correct mode.
And I’m not sure what it is you’re trying to accomplish by intimating that I don’t know what I’m talking about, but you can definitely take your horseshit elsewhere.
You’re a mess. Appealing to experience doesn’t work when you demonstrably have no idea what you’re talking about.
I’m criticizing your reasoning for not using Wayland. You claimed there were tons of issues, it was unpolished, etc. But when pressed, all you could do was point to GNOME. You couldn’t even define the problem until someone told you the term fractional scaling.
Then you told us in your own words that you wanted to stick with “XFCE” instead of “Wayland”. The former is a DE. The latter is a series of protocols acting as a compositor. Why would you compare them? Nobody who actually understands these technologies would compare them. It’s nonsensical. You meant to say X11, not XFCE.
That leads me to the reason for my vigor: you’re making shit up to justify your stubbornness. Which doesn’t need justifying. Just say you’re stubborn without all the bullshit and you won’t look so silly.

I thought you read my posts. You didn’t see that I use both Wayland and x11?
I don’t understand why you’re so bent on telling strangers they don’t know what they’re talking about. You don’t know me, you don’t know my exposure to Wayland nor my motivations for using Linux in the first place.
I’m not against wayland and I’ve never claimed to be, so I’m not sure where you’re getting that i’m “too stubborn” to move away from what I’m using.
You seem to have a real problem with assumptions, especially from people you don’t know. Have a better day, and stop taking out your frustrations on strangers.
I’m literally reading your posts and responding to your words.
The real issue is that even today, some apps (Firefox, gedit, some terminals) don’t adjust their scaling to the new screen
This shows you dont know what fractional scaling is otherwise you would have used the term.
I work in Linux as a daily driver for work and personal. I don’t care what the tools are, but they need to work and stay out of the way. Right now, Wayland implementation of multi monitor for my hardware is too much bother, I’ll try it again in a year.
This is you being stubborn because you’re justifying your inaction based on false manufactured premises.
I have no objections to Wayland itself, but I value the kind of stability xfce gives me, which is stable, predictable, and gets out of the way. Right now, on my hardware, Wayland/gnome is not there.
This shows you don’t understand what Wayland is because you compared a compositor protocol to a desktop environment.

xfce isn’t a distro, it’s a desktop environment
very funny that you’re so aggro when you clearly have no fucking idea what you’re talking about
lol, they edited it
