   I was doing things with my graphics drivers, something happened and Linux was really like 'You should fix the problem as soon as feasible'

     @theslik It is basically GNOME, but it is the modified version used by Pop OS. (I think it might be called COSMIC — not the new COSMIC being worked on by System76.)

     @theslik If you're curious, I would get the X-shaped X Window System cursor that means you're pointing at the root window (or something) when I would point away from the error dialog. And when I clicked through, GNOME/COSMIC started up.

     @golemwire I think I've seen that too.

     As Soon As Feasible = #asaf

     I think I'll start just saying that at work instead of asap. 😁

     Anyway, switching to the #Nouveau driver finally got me up and running with Wayland! I've been wanting to close down that last big security hole on my system, #Xorg , which has made my system's #Flatpak -based sandboxing not really sandboxing.
     And now with my #Wayland session, I get nicer pinch-to-zoom, and get almost no flickering on maximize etc, too. However, there's stuttering sometimes, and lower FPS in games (tested on Minecraft) compared to the proprietary driver.
