    I’ve been using Linux since 2008, and yours and my experience is basically opposite. I stayed on X until about a year ago, and haven’t had any problems with Wayland. PipeWire was basically immediately better as soon as Fedora switched to it. I could use Jack plugins and patch bays with my pulse apps, including all the electron apps, like Discord. Systemd has always been better than sys5 init. Maybe you don’t remember how bad the old init daemon was.

    I’m sorry you had trouble with Linux though.

      Ditto here. I always felt that the desktop environments were just way less polished than Windows, but I feel like it’s been the reverse now with KDE Plasma for the past couple years. I don’t feel like I’m taking a lesser experience for the sake of having control over my computer, at least anymore.

      I would actually like if Windows went back to the Windows 7 era of… everything. At least there’d be some competition to Linux. Where it’s sitting right now with both Windows 10 and 11, I’d take a lesser experience under Linux if it meant that Microsoft wasn’t in charge of everything. It’s my computer.

      I remember the old initd. It was fast, efficient, didn’t hang up for 10+ minutes when it got confused about what needed to shut down when, and just worked until a bunch of impatient new Linux users wanted to get to the desktop in 0.00007 seconds and couldn’t patiently wait for a proper init boot order so they created this bloated monstrosity. But those aren’t even the worst part of NuLinux: to this day Wayland is absolute unstable garbage not worth using. Visual glitches, UI glitches, instability, slowdowns, and outright crashes that even REISUB can’t recover from. Meanwhile, Xorg still Just Works.

      Modern Linux is garbage and needs to be either fixed or thrown away.

        Considering how many issues you’re having using software I currently use without issue on a huge variety of hardware, I think you’re probably experiencing hardware related issues. Either that or you’re using some configuration that is causing you issues. You might want to start from scratch on a new system and see if you run into the same issues.

          Considering what a wide variety of hardware I use and all of it exhibits the same behavior, maybe it’s just you who is ignoring obvious issues to push your agenda.
