Hey y’all

So I’ve been a big anti-Wayland shill around here but decided to finally give it a shot, I installed Debian 12 with GNOME, and can’t seem to get Plank working.

Without the Plank dock, GNOME is unusable, and KDE refuses to autostart Guake (does not save the setting in autostart), and when it works it seems broken (stuck to the left side of the screen).

These are fundamental apps to me for any decent Linux laptop use. What gives? Is there an alternative?

Sure! Is it missing any features from Guake, or is it just some clone fork?

Pretty sure Yakuake is the OG?

Well, technically the OG would be Quake, but Yakuake did come before Guake.

I’m afraid that I’ve never used either Guake or Yakuake so I don’t know either of their feature sets 😁

Neither is a fork of the other, but Yakuake came first. I assume it has more features, since that’s how it usually goes with KDE apps vs GNOME apps. Haven’t tried Guake, tho.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
