Hey y’all
So I’ve been a big anti-Wayland shill around here but decided to finally give it a shot, I installed Debian 12 with GNOME, and can’t seem to get Plank working.
Without the Plank dock, GNOME is unusable, and KDE refuses to autostart Guake (does not save the setting in autostart), and when it works it seems broken (stuck to the left side of the screen).
These are fundamental apps to me for any decent Linux laptop use. What gives? Is there an alternative?
Will have to switch back to X.Org until this is fixed by the Wayland/XWayland developers
This isn’t the responsibility of “wayland developers”. The developers of an application need to adapt to the new API.
Or they could develop the API in such a way it doesn’t break every app for no reason. See the situation with PulseAudio for example.
Either way, hard to believe Wayland is still useless all these years later, can’t even run Plank :(
