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.

Firefox is surprisingly one of the few programs that has no/almost no glitches in wayland with nvidia.
The total of human days of work amounts to something like 1000 years+. Its a an incredible project.
And it needs even less memory than Electron, even if it runs as an own instance with a different profile! I replaced Discord with it a year ago and it's much better in literally every way. I just wish there would be a FF alternative for Electron.
You mean like https://tauri.app/ ?
I think there is something like that but it's really not popular and I'm not even sure it's maintained anymore
Try it with multiple monitors. Unless I manually enable native wayland, it flickers just like most other xwayland windows.
I meant using MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, of course
only glitch recently is that I couldn't get multi-account containers to work. 2 years ago I couldn't even open setting's menu under wayland, so it's been evolving
I think he meant Firefox running under native Wayland.
Heck, I have a single monitor and it flickers too.
