From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Was using a Hyper-V VM with Debian Sid. Installed Steam but UI wasn't displaying and the login window wasn't responding. On GNOME I also had the cursor leave sprites of itself. Planning on using Xorg with 125% fractional scaling. Any advice?

just test it out.

some setups will work fine with wayland and some will work better with xorg.

there are of course ways solve those issues, but it's easier to test both and use the one that works best for you.

wayland is the future, but the present is whatever works best for you.

Wayland is the future yes, but it's not ready yet. I will just try it out, see what works.

What’s not ready for you on Wayland yet?

HiDPI and fractional scaling is still a bit of a pain.
