Anyone notice non-obvious Wayland road blocks?

I think the last thing keeping me on X11 is window shade.

Mine is that the "fake session restore" hasn't landed yet (it will in 6.1) so the half-dozen konsole and dolphin windows I tend to leave open between reboots don't re-open after rebooting under Wayland.

The reason it's called "fake session restore" is that the Wayland session restore protocol isn't finalized, so as a temporary workaround Plasma on Wayland will re-launch the applications and leave it up to the individual programs to restore their last state.

For some reason when i use Wayland it shows weird artifacts on the bottom of my screen. Doesn't happen on X11 so I'll stick with that until it gets fixed

Definitely needs a bug report.
I recommend go into Wayland and use hw-probe and run :
sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload -dump-acpi -decode-acpi
And use the given link in your BR.
Try to force the bug, and take a screenshot or if it doesn't show up in the screenshot take a picture with your phone and mention it doesn't show up in screenshots.
If you're able to consistently reproduce the bug include how.
Make the BR to Kwin.

Yeah, ill do that. Seems to only be when scale is set to 150/175, setting to 200% fixed it it seems!

Window shade?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As described at https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kwin/kcontrol/windowbehaviour/index.html#titlebar-actions

Shade

Causes the window to be reduced to simply the titlebar.

Found the option, and you're right. It's currently not available on Wayland.

Not really. I was a heavy critic of the state kde was in because of fractional scalling sucking a lot, but I've been using it on 2 pcs and am now pretty happy. Does everything I need it to.
