Hey y’all

So I’ve been a big anti-Wayland shill around here but decided to finally give it a shot, I installed Debian 12 with GNOME, and can’t seem to get Plank working.

Without the Plank dock, GNOME is unusable, and KDE refuses to autostart Guake (does not save the setting in autostart), and when it works it seems broken (stuck to the left side of the screen).

These are fundamental apps to me for any decent Linux laptop use. What gives? Is there an alternative?

    Dash-to-Plank specifically says it does not support Wayland. Plank has had an issue open about Wayland support since 2016, and they still haven’t done it. Can’t blame Wayland.

    What’s your use case for Plank? My guess is you’re using GNOME wrong.

        “you’re using it wrong” seems more like the official motto of Wayland whenever anything that isn’t working on it is brought up.

        I wouldn’t blame Lemmy for a few bad apples like Wildbus though. There are plenty of good people here.
