For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

    For what its worth, I know that while a lot of the hardcore Linux community seems to absolutely despise Ubuntu/Canonical because of snaps and whatnot, I don’t think there is anything actually wrong with using Ubuntu if that is what works for you. Use the best tool for the job!

          Been rocking Manjaro with Gnome for a long time, but then Plasma 6 came out, I switched over and couldn’t be happier.

        Well, Ubuntu does not force you to use GNOME and GNOME is not exclusive to Ubuntu.

        So, what you are basically saying is that you use Ubuntu and hate GNOME.
