Xfce 4.20 has been released with experimental Wayland support for most of the critical components, whilst a few pieces of functionality aren’t working or at least not fully, it can be used by ‘advanced’ users, but expect bugs and some functionality missing.
What distro(s) are you using that you recommend? I’ve been running plain Ubuntu for a couple years, but want to dual-boot something else for fun/ change of pace.
gentoo, but I don’t recommend it unless you like getting into the configuration and waiting for things to compile, sometimes for hours.
As someone relatively new to Linux (been using as my daily driver for a couple of years now, but I still feel like a novice), I’ve been considering tinkering with Gentoo, and it low-key feels like considering starting using hard drugs.
If you read all the handbook and the wiki for specific things, you should be okay!
Oh yeah, that’s one of the things that I’m tempted by. I just recognise that it’ll be a bit of a time sink (not necessarily a bad thing), and I should probably try it on a spare device or drive first. I’ve just been too busy to be able to sink my teeth into something like that, but hopefully some day.
A good guide or wiki makes a huge difference — I opted for Arch as my first Linux run, for example, because I kept seeing the Arch wiki be a useful resource when learning about general Linux things. Similarly, I have had a nosy at the Gentoo handbook and that too looks like a thorough and accessible resource (though it’s more Gentoo specific obviously).
