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.

TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are ~~begging~~ beginning to work on Wayland support.

Is is possible to overclock Nvidia cards using Wayland or xwayland?

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

No idea on the overclocking front I'm afraid.

been using MX linux the past little while, it uses xfce - it's not awful, but wayland looks more promising. might have to find a distro that I like that uses it
