Initial Feedback on the Community and Distro Itself

The GDM Wayland option in Garuda Assistant, and maybe the default configs for GNOME/X11/Wayland, might have something weird going on.

The weird result comes mainly from the very strongly opinionated Gnome/GDM devs IMHO.

As a note, there are two things that need to be separated:

• GDM: on Wayland or on Xorg
• Gnome: on Wayland or on Xorg

@SonarMonkey

enabling the option in the Assistant made no changes to /etc/gdm/custom.conf or anywhere else I could find yet

IIUC Archwiki/GDM, there is also a udev rule for that.

I think you will find the linked article interesting, if not already read.

I use Kvantum Manager to make my Qt-based apps play nice with my theme, so this isn’t an issue, but it is odd.

If QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME is not properly set to qt5ct (if I’m not wrong), and set the kvantum as controler in Qt5ct settings, you wouldn’t be able to control Qt5/6 settings with Kvantum, AFAIK from experience (but have not been using Gnome lately).
