Reading up on window managers I come across "Qtile is a customizable tiling window manager that works on X11 and Wayland." So X11 and Wayland are not window managers? I am confused. What do X11 and Wayland do then? And in Xubuntu, what is the window manager I am using?I read some apps do not work on Wayland. I'd like to find a list of which those are.And most importantly, I love my desktop experience with windows (styling, snapping to screen and each other) and using the mouse and keyboard (alt-right-drag to resize etc.). Does that work the same?

@justineVery nice background, but what a those options that were not yet available? I've been using xfce for years and the transparency and snapping has always been there.I read about Wayland and several apps having problems with it. What is the big plus of Wayland?

Suddenly my Xubuntu machine no longer recognises an external monitor.I am using Ubuntu 24.02.2 LTS with XFCE 4.18, GTK 3.24. kernel version 6.8.0-64-generic.I tried the two monitors I have here:Lenovo 4K with direct HDMI, with direct USB-C and with USB-C with a dock between.Old Samsung 24" with USB-C via a Lenovo dock (monitor only accepts DisplayPort or DV which has).When I connect the displays using either of those methods, the Display dialog pops up so it recognises a display. But the dialogonly shows the laptop, the monitor goes to standby mode after a short while and another Display dialog pops up.What can I do? Did some driver update?#linux #ubuntu #xfce

@Noortjevee @aralI don't see Bluesky being almost as bad. It's the people on there, right?
