Fedora vs/with Ubuntu (and Wayland vs X) testing article

Just thought there's a lot of data going on in this article, it might be worth a look to some people as to the disadvantages Wayland has.

Wayland Fedora Gnome vs KDE neon Plasma, plus X11 data!
These numbers would hopefully improve for Wayland in the future... but given that Wayland isn't exactly a newborn anymore, I'm not sure I'd count on it. The author also goes into (just very briefly) the security aspect of both as well.

EDIT: If someone can think of a better title than that, please let me know. I'm awful at titles most of the time.

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting article. Not offering unchecked packages in Gnome software and not bypassing/cover up the native formats or offer more filter options for the selection would be a really necessary step for next Zorin versions.

In Linux Mint you can set the search options that unverified flatpaks are not shown (that is the default setting) and when an app has multiple formats only the native package is listed. That could gnome software do in a similar way.
I know how package formats can be hidden or displayed in a different order, but a beginner does not know all this.

What is striking to me is that the article covers the most developed versions of Wayland and Gnome.
We keep hearing about the improvements in the later Gnome, Later Wayland implementation. Yet, benchmarking shows that situation, in his case, moved backward rather than improving.

Yeah, clearly there's a lot going on and they aren't prioritizing having a proper, fully feature comparable replacement for the outgoing protocol. Which is unfortunately how I've been seeing literally everything in this day and age go, but there's gotta come a point where it all starts falling apart because so much keeps getting missed / left behind in favour of trying to charge you for another thing to fix said thing that was already working.
