Gave an update on #Gershwin Desktop development for #FreeBSD, #GhostBSD, and #Linux in yesterday's #GNUstep meeting. Working super hard to make the desktop welcoming and familiar to switchers from proprietary OSes - but not just superficially. Design, after all, is how it works, not just how it looks. @greg_casamento put up the recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDwLzy8map8&t=1000s

Since you asked: Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. Also, it provides no clear transition path with 1:1 repl…
