  • Yep I second this. I’ve been using GNOME, hyprland and sway interchangeably since 2021 Oct on my system as my main DEs. I recently wanted to give Plasma Wayland a try. Was met with multiple crashes, and freezes that required me to long press the power button to reboot to get it working again.

    While the new rootless wayland on SDDM worked fine for me, there are several things in Plasma that still don’t yet have support for Wayland. I could never get screen sharing to be reliable on Plasma Wayland, despite having the right portals installed.

    GNOME, Sway, and Hyprland are miles ahead in having a stable system on Wayland.





























    • What is the Wi-Fi card you’re using? Some cards using a Realtek chipset have bad performance.
    • Check and see if the antenna is being obstructed by the case on S920, or if there’s anything metal nearby that could be causing interference.

    As to how you can go about debugging it, that part is hard. I’ve suffered from frequent disconnections on my OpenWRT install on a router, and I had to trawl through the system logs (it’s there on LuCI) to see what was triggering the disconnection when using the AP. After you find the line you think could be it, Google for it to see if anyone else has had similar issues. Ask on the OpenWRT forums since people on there might have come across it and have a solution.

    You should also check to see if a reconfig of a very basic AP triggers the issue.


  • Back in the day, it was a really great way to find new apps. And by back in the day, I mean when it was still called the Android Market.

    Its initial transition to Play Store in the ICS era also wasn’t too bad. It still kept a lot of the good things from Android Market. But since the launch of Lollipop, things have really deteriorated. It might not have really been the fault of Google, but there’s a lot more noise with subpar apps that crowd the store now. There’s also the incessant ads for sketchy apps featured prominently that leaves a bad aftertaste in your mouth.

    Like you, I’ve probably spent like 30 minutes on the Play Store over the last 4 years probably. Every app I want today is either on F-Droid, or already pre-installed on my phone. Or they’re PWAs, and it’s easy to install them just by going to the website.
