I do not know what I did when I removed redundent Wayland, I di not have Gnome now but only Enlightenment and Xfce.
I have Synaptic and I am going to install Gnome again.
I lost booting of two instanced of BlueStar Linux out of three instsnces.
Well Debian GNOME picked only one instace for its GRUB file.
www.distrowatch.com is out of commission and I have to pick a distribution or two from Linuxtracker.
I decided to use Peppermint Linux and Voyager Linux to fill these 4 partitions.
They are both Debian Trixie based.
Peppermint Linux.
On of my old Linux flames coming from UK. I gave up because the develipers were lazy. They did not want to do the hard work and respond with bug reports.
It is minimal and does not have even a browser.
It has Synaptic Package Manager and I installed Dillo but Epiphany and Firefox had broken pieces.
This is why I call that the developers are lazy. It not a fault of Synaptic but guys using Synaptic are lazy to update the packages curated by them.
Having said that Voyagers Linux is pretty good. Developers in France has done a reasonable work but their Debian Image is horrible. That is due to UBUNTU guys not maintaining their packages.
It is still struglling to Update my Pretty Long GRUB with 13 distributions.
Deleting Live Calamare is may be faulty.
My gut feeling is it would not boot.
It is nealy 45 minutes of install time.
/usr/sbin/update- system where it is stuck. This is what hapoens when developers stick fancy graphic in the configuration file.
Last command failed as expected.
6.13.73+deb 13-amd64 kernel.
By the way, I downloaded Zenwalk and it is all Test Installer with bad eyesight on a black Terminal I gave UP.
I decided to install Netrunner Instead. Netrunner is one of the best KDE desktops with lot of applications preinstalled.
If I did not discover BlueStar Linux Netrunner would have easily being my favorite. I gave up because Developers in Germany was lazy update it to the Trixie kernel.
Installer is Calamara.
No running commentary of installation on a Terminal.
It has beautiful Plymouth Boot screen.
Now I have 3 Trixie derivatives.
Debian
Netrunner
Voyager.
XIVA Linux and BIG Linux also do not SUPPORT WAYLAND. It is a collective response away from WAYLAND.
Gnome takes 433MB on top of XFCE and Enlightenment.
Mind you, I added ton of little Gnome applications.
Gnome Classic let me have both old and modern Gnome one clicke away.
Thank You to Gnome Developers.
But I stick to the modern desktop.
I tried Gnome Pie.
It does not work.
I think GDM Display manager would come up. It did not give me an option to select others, say SDDM.
It is 7.1.3+ Debian 14 image, the latest.
It is Gnome 50.2.2. Extension.
That is my lowest assessment for Gnome Desktop needs which is way below KDE and Cinnamon.
Cinnamon takes huge amount and that is why I SHUN Mint Desktop.
Wayland SUCKS on me.
UBUNU started all these and quietly exited leaving behind Ununtu SAGA.
That is why I hate UBUNU to this day.
If UBUNU could not manage or maintain their UPSTARTS, they should have never started them.
I even encoporated GNOME Mutter.
That did not help either.
These idiosyncrasies should never have entered Linux domain.
Enlightenment Wayland does not mount on my NUC.
Xfce Wayland does not mount on my NUC.
Xmonad dies not mount.
SWAY mounts but no viable actions.
There is something called Weston.
Mount a terminal but exit and killall do not work. No log out.
Ctr + Alt+ F1 does work but I have to restart the computer.
There is another one called Klyne Wlcom.
It does not work.
None of these utilties are platform independent.
Whereas,
Blackbox
Fluxbox
JWM
WindowMaker all work fine.
There is one WaylandMsker which works and I can mount Firefox on this only Wayland compositor.
I noticed CachyOS mounts but it only adds scattered panels on the dedktop which wad irritating.
I no longer use CachyOS.
I had a good night sleep and woke up at 9AM. I wasn't hungry and I went back to sleep and woke up at 1PM.
I did not want go on editing my book on 3 Dogs on NUC which was boring.
