Since Version 3.22 of the gnome-shell wayland has become the default session. Anyone noticed differences? For me the performance seems to have increased immensely. Smoother animations overall and less resource intensive. I'd also like to point out that at this point it seems stable enough to be used as a default session. Anyone different experiences?

I can't take screenshots, I've noticed no performance boost so I just use the X version instead
Does X Wayland work properly?
>>57074836
for me it does. thing is experiences are way different. some get insane performance increases like while others do not.
If i update (i use antergos) my gnome to 3.22 it will change to wayland?
>>57074863
yes. you can log into the "Gnome on X" session aswell though
>>57074855
I'll just wait until some one makes an i3 equivalent for Wayland.
>>57074888
there is sway
>>57074899
It's a work in progress, but looks very promising. I'll keep an eye on the project and move over once it hits stable.
I didn't even notice
>>57074923
glad you like it. I switched to i3 couple of times but it never stuck with me for some reason.

Shift+PrtScrn
>>57074271
Are the mouse sensitivity / acceleration controls still fucked?
>>57074271
i noticed a few problems
1: it's gnome
theme APIs change every release, no standard API for much-needed extensions, and the defaults are godawful
bloated services that are ineffective to the point that mac users who enjoy their well made equivalents will say "i don't need this, brb cli"
2: it's linux
nuff said
>>57075138
educate me on which of the services are shit.
>>57074271
Kde when?
>>57075138
I thought 3.20 locked the theming as it was now all CSS?
>>57075155
tracker
evolution
retardconf
>>57075203
nope
.>>57075205
I like tracker a lot. can't say much about the other 2 since I dont notice them.
>>57075223
Tracker would be nice if it came anywhere near the comprehensiveness and performance of spotlight
But it fucking doesn't. It's mlocate 2.0.
Holy shit, a linux GUI that actually looks good? 2017 will ACTUALLY be the year of the linux desktop
>>57074271
what wm theme is that op?
>>57075374
it's a theme
it normally looks like this
>>57075425
>macshit theme
no thanks. OSX makes me puke.
>>57075425
what's the name of the theme?
>>57074271
>>57075384
Same question for the font. It looks gorgeous.
>>57075450
Probably numix, all these flat off-gray themes with bright accents are the fucking same
>>57075155
pulseaudio
systemd
:^)
>>57075286
you seem to like osx. I would try to counter your points but I personally have never used it so.

Op here.
The theme is called adapta(eta variant) and is available on github. The icons are of course paper. It actually is pretty impressive and features cool material like animations on buttons. The font is called sansation.
No screen tearing when moving windows. Everything is quite snappy on my m3 laptop.

forgot the site. As i said i use the eta variant which makes headerbars a bit smaller. It's more laptop-friendly.
I know qt by default supports wayland, but what about gtk? Does it spin some xwayland type thing with gtk applications? Am I misunderstanding things and everything will run pure wayland?
Also, does gnome now support monitor frequency changes, it's a waste to be stuck at 60hz.
>>57074271
what drivers/gpu?
>>57075647
you can change the refresh-rate with xrandr. such a shitshow on gnomes part.( and i love their design choices)
>>57075669
Integrated intel graphics. xf86-video-intel installed but not sure if it is even needed since I read that the kernel-module is enough.
