I've checked and not only for me this setting does not seem to work on Wayland. It is briefly mentioned in the linked bug report.

What a nice and civilized way to say that title is misleading. Changing it rn. Thank you sir!

That's why Lemmy >> Reddit

I do agree, and I've never said that. All I'm saying is that Plasma Wayland on laptops is for many people pain to use (and it looks like many agree with me here too).

I do believe that this should be resolved as Plasma 6 is shifting towards Wayland-first approach, and this would annoy most laptop users.

I thought it would be great to spread awareness about this issue, hence I'm sharing it with you here.

In X11 there is a nice feature called "Turn off touchpad while mouse is plugged in" - it's a lifesaver when you have a laptop with big touchpad; me and lots of people with this issue accidentally hit it all the time while typing.

However in Wayland this setting is missing. After some digging people found out that this is not an issue with the libinput driver itself (used for touchpads on Wayland), as it is supporting this feature for a while now; rather it's an issue with the settings app itself, simply not implementing this feature while using Wayland.

Hope this will get attention from the community, as the recognition from the dev's side is minimal.

I found this site a while back - basically it will ask you a bunch of questions on your usage of your PC, and will came out with a list of recommended distros, and a list of reasons why YOU could like or not like it.

There are some similar sites to this one, but since I'm not familiar with them, I won't post them. They are simply DuckDuckGo-able though.

Sorry, my bad. By "official" I meant "by the lemmy devs", as stated on join-lemmy.org

Wdym? The community here is already much better than on Reddit. Same post there was met with little notice, and all of that was like "stop shilling, loser".

I believe I'm quite settled here already, using Jerboa on my phone. One thing that could help get more people here in my opinion is promotion of the "lemmy" "brand". Now when I try to lookup the lemmy keyword on my search engine, I have to scroll waay below the first results (which is not a behavior of most users). Why isn't e.g. the "official" app called simply Lemmy, but instead "Jerboa"? I assure you this is confusing for many people.

Anyways, thank you for welcoming me! I see great potential in Lemmy (compared to e.g. Mastodon, which is dependent on specific people and not communities).

TLDR: Met with awesome community already, but the app is a little bit confusing.

Not finnish, but still appreciate it!

For me two things come to mind:

  • X's influence - they are doing some stupid $hit (like removing ability to block people). So I guess my brain decided it is fed up with corpo apps.
  • degradation of content quality - I feel like Reddit has served it's purpouse, and I struggle to find something funny and/or informative. When I opened Lemmy for the first time, at least 4 interesting articles came on my feed.

Well I've converted quite recently as I haven't heard of Lemmy before.

I apologize for bothering you, sir.
