I know it’s called plasma, and I don’t know if it’s actually plasmas fault, don’t judge me, it’s for the meme

      Some people have KDE problems because they use Nvidia. I have KDE problems because I switched from Nvidia to amd but there’s no way to uninstall Nvidia drivers in arch without a os reinstall and I’m too lazy for that (games still work, but many of my KDE bugs are probably caused by Nvidia drivers still being present). We are not the same.

        pacman -Rs nvidia nvidia-tools

        i kinda did the same today, but my machine was headless.

        can you give me more info on why is impossible to uninstall Nvidia drivers?

        Wat

        sudo pacman -Rnsc nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils

        Unless you went to the NVIDIA website and ran the .bin, you're not supposed to do that on any distro unless you want problems.

        Although it still shouldn't use an inactive driver.

    Still don’t understand the purpose of wayland besides cleaner code and easier updates for kernel level stuff.

    X11 has been fairly updated with all the features people wanted and needed anyway. Just because no one uses all of its niche and antiquated plugins and extra stuff, doesn’t mean its inherently an outdated program.

      I’m pretty sure that recent X.Org server development has been driven by XWayland for the most part, the tags on repo certainly look that way

    I eventually want to return to GNU/Linux, but I just don’t see a DE that has no drawbacks. The most reasonable choice I think is to just return to MATE, even though it looks dated and doesn’t feel to innovate.

    I really want to try KDE out but it looks like a cluster fuck for me.
