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?

    You could start maintaining Plank yourself.

    Making it work on Wayland isn’t simple. It would literally need to be redone from the ground up.

      Damn that’s a shame. Hopefully Wayland gets rewritten so middleware stops breaking compatibility for the end-user
