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.

For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine.

Edit: I made the question gendered by using the word guys. I've fixed my mistake.

SDDM Wayland Greeter, to have 100% wayland on KDE

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I'm currently using greetd-tui but I would instantly switch over to sddm if the Wayland session actually works. (I use hyprland as my window manager )

Fedora 39 KDE/Kinoite already has this

SDDM with Wayland greeter? AFAIK It's not even finished on the git master branch...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

It's not finished, but it works on the current release. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#Running_under_Wayland

its not in any stable release of sddm, but its one of the exceptions Fedora makes for git releases in its stable branch. KDESIG devs were desperate to get an end to end wayland experience happening for the KDE spin.
