Xfce 4.20 has been released with experimental Wayland support for most of the critical components, whilst a few pieces of functionality aren’t working or at least not fully, it can be used by ‘advanced’ users, but expect bugs and some functionality missing.

    Exciting stuff, personally we are going to hold off until they have full functionality and get rid of potential bugs and we’re sure the distro we use will probably agree. However, we’re excited for the future of Xfce and finally ditching X.

      What distro(s) are you using that you recommend? I’ve been running plain Ubuntu for a couple years, but want to dual-boot something else for fun/ change of pace.

        gentoo, but I don’t recommend it unless you like getting into the configuration and waiting for things to compile, sometimes for hours.

          As someone relatively new to Linux (been using as my daily driver for a couple of years now, but I still feel like a novice), I’ve been considering tinkering with Gentoo, and it low-key feels like considering starting using hard drugs.

          Haha, yeah I’ve done Gentoo a couple times before, back when I was younger and didn’t mind spending hours tinkering with it. :P

            I have played with fedora on the computer of someone I know recently and I have to say it is a great distro. Though if you want it but made for gaming then try Nobara (made by the person behind proton-ge-custom ).
