If I boot with X11, everything works fine, but if I boot with Wayland, Krita doesn't work properly.
This is yet another reason why Wayland is not ready. And why Gnome has gone down this route is beyond me. On the distros I have tried that use Plasma have X11 (xorg) as the default Compositor, not Wayland.
I use Krita, too with Wayland and it works good for me. What Problem do You have exactly?
Do you use the Flatpak Version or the .deb Version?
Are you using a Nvidia Graphics Card?
The problem I have is that with "Krita" and "Libre Office Impress" it doesn't open the photo files and I can't copy -> paste them.
Krita is from "Flatpack".
I am attaching the specifications of my computer.
Because Flapak's run in Containers it could give sometimes Problems because they only have limited Permissions. You could try to uninstall the Krita Flatpak and install the APT Version in the Software Center or in the Terminal with the Command sudo apt install krita
To say that: this Version isn't the newest One. So, it could be that some Features are missing or it maybe works a bit differently. It don't have to. But because it is an older Version it could.
The Thing with Your Nvidia Card and X11 looks good. That is okay.
One Thing would be with LibreOffice Impress ... is it the preinstalled Program or do you have installed the Flatpak Version of LibreOffice, too?
I am not using complicated apps or games and so far Wayland on Linux Mint Debian Edition has been reliable and it is in the experimental stage. I am sure it is not fully baked but it is getting there.
I have not installed "Libre Office" it is the one that comes with the system.
Apart from these problems mentioned, all the programs and the system in general seem to work well with "Wayland".
X11 or wayland? Wayland. Because sooner or later x11 will be abandoned.
So it's better to start using it immediately, since it is faster and safer and already very complete and stable.
Install krita via snap
sudo snap install krita
I would avoid snap at all costs from a security angle:
I also agree with @Aravisian:
*Remmina
and the inability to share desktop and video conferencing, my secure preference once enabled, being Jitsi.
Wayland works nearly perfect with AMD cards, but Nvidia cards struggles is my experience. As I have both. I even games under Wayland now. But that's under Pop OS which has newer wayland libs.
Okay, then it is the .deb Version. Did tried what I describted for Krita? I run it that Way in Wayland and have not such an Issue.
Well, that depends I would think. Here on Zorin when you using a Nvidia Card I would recommend using X11. When You have a more modern DE Version (Gnome 46/47, Plasma 6.1, 6.2) it is a different Situation because You have a different Implementation of Wayland.
Is it now? I tested it a while ago and was relatively buggy. But that was with an older Cinnamon Version.
I have installed "Krita" from "Snap" and the same thing happens.
Fedora's KDE seems to be an exception, as x11 has to be installed separately, being wayland the only option you get after a fresh install.
I can see why having wayland as an option could be useful if you want better touch gestures and the extra layer of security that I've heard it has over x11, but I don't understand why they are pushing it as default; AMD is supposed to be the better supported option and, even with that, my laptop with an AMD APU drains the battery double as fast on wayland than on x11 and I did also notice a few graphical glitches on the plasma panel under wayland that don't happen on x11. This is on plasma 6.2, so not an outdated experience.
Sure... but wayland is not fully finished while x11 is. More active development doesn't always mean "better"; it means that there is more to be done. That point will be valid when wayland is as ready (if not even better) as x11, but as of now I don't think that's a good suggestion.
As I said, battery draining on wayland doesn't seem like "faster"... And I've heard gaming performance on wayland is -even if it's slowly improving- still not as good as on x11 as of now. Safer maybe, but faster doesn't seem to be the case yet.
If they are having problems with the flatpak because of being containerized, I don't think pointing them towards a similar packaging format would change much. Wouldn't it be better to go for the deb package instead?
If I'm not wrong on Plasma 6 is Wayland - even with Xorg installed - the default Setting in general.
Again, I am not doing anything fancy with LMDE. Maybe the recent update to LMDE's Cinnamon is better but again, I haven't noticed anything bad in the past when they first started Wayland. It is experimental but I am using it and it works fine so far - that could change. I just use browsers, email, documents, and PDFs plus some scanning. I stick with LMDE because it is so reliable and I really appreciate that. Zorin is good too and if I had another PC to use it on I might install it but I sold a few desktops and just keep LMDE because the experience is really good. My favorite distributions are Zorin and LMDE.
Didn't do anything fancy, too. When I tried it, I had Display Bugs, right-click Menus appeared somewhere on the Display and not on the Position I clicked on ... Stuff like that. That was my Experience with it. But when it works for You, it is totally fine. I only ask because I had the Experience with it like described. So, I want to hear another Opinion and Experience with that.
The part that amuses me in reading this thread, is that the stuff that is now working on Wayland that has not worked in the last Ten Years is only working because Wayland users are now using XWayland in addition to Wayland.
So... They patched Wayland to use X11 for all the stuff that does not work on Wayland, then claimed that fixed Wayland and that proves Wayland is better than X11.
Brilliance.
There has been an update from NVidia in Zorin, and now starting with Wayland the problems that were with the graphical programs have been corrected. That seems to be the case.
The beta release from the nvidia site is a good one too.
