Only for X11 for the time being.
So it should be working by default in Linux Mint.
Yep, but I chose Ubuntu 24.10 on my home laptop either way. I knew that
I wanted Wayland, if only because touchpad gestures work as expected. If
you remove the Snap versions of LibreOffice and other slow-loading
programs, it becomes quite good. I imagine that I will eventually have
issues with suspend/resume, but at this point I don't even care anymore.
I don't usually snap whenever I suffer fTPM stuttering or when my
external monitors turn off because I dared to load programs which
contain DRM content, but the Dune Part Two was a good movie. Knowing
that the operating system was preventing me from enjoying the movie my
way caused great anger.
It really was that good of a movie.
I don't follow what your issue is with DRM movies. I stream DRM movies all the time. (I'm sure I'm missing something here, issues with external monitors?)
It is specific to external monitor. If you're connecting your laptop to
an external monitor, shutting off the laptop's own screen and then
running an application which contains DRM content, the external monitor
will shut off, turn back on, shut off, turn back on, etc. in what
appears to be a measure against piracy. It's an issue that's easy to
search for online. It happens whether you're using Microsoft Films & TV, Netflix, Apple Music or even trying to view cable TV through the web.
As for the Dune movie, I'll take your word for it. When I was in college another student kept trying to get me to read the Dune Trilogy. I finally agreed so long as he read the Lord of the Rings. He ended up liking the Lord of the Rings a lot. I couldn't stand Dune. It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth, almost 50 years later. I guess it was just not my thing.
I wouldn't be surprised if the book series is boring, but the Denis
Villeneuve movies are excellent so far.
