I recently started having the bug again where Gimp crashes when changing text color. Apparently related to Wayland, but I can’t change back to xorg just for gimp. Extremely frustrating as I’ve had that bug half a year ago, then it went away and now its here again.
Anyway, Krita and Photopea are pretty good replacements. Handling Text in Krita is horrible and working in a WebApp with Photopea is weird, but overall still better than crashing…
Jesus have my expectations for Linux software fallen over the years.
stuff like this is why i’m waiting a few years to move over to wayland properly.
I just don’t have the time and energy for this kind of stuff, sure X is a dinosaur, and fucking ginormous, but it also just fucking works™ and i don’t have to deal with updates, because it’s literally feature complete.
That has been my experience with wayland. A bug pops up then goes away in the next release of the software only to reappear later on. You can report the bug you have but it seems no one is finding the actual cause since the bug report never moves.
