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.

You should be able to... Are you still on x or Wayland?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm on Wayland and KDE/Plasma. It worked on GNOME, but sadly not on Plasma.

Ahh, I've only been using gnome for a while now. I would've thought it to work on KDE. Usually they get features first

I am on Mint Cinnamon 21.3 and I cannot use Wayland
