Has anyone seen it wake up? Just logging in it sits and the mouse cursor
dies for 45 seconds, it lags all over the place. Now Fedora and Wayland
both suck. Switching to Arch.
I see that Sonic offered Usenet service until 2016

I haven't connected to a Usenet server for I believe around ten years!

I'm seeing the problem is not the OS, but the desktop, it's Gnome 50 and up
that insists on Wayland. Trying to switch to XFCE and X11 before I
completely dump the distro.
See you at Kupros in December.

While downloading F43 updates for my desktop, I found this thread on
Xorg. Admittingly, I still do not fully understand how the windowing
manager all fits together. I take it that there are various X libraries?
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f43-change-proposal-x11libre-system-…
I thought this quote was interesting:
"Fedora will benefit from shipping an actively maintained Xserver instead
of a moribund one whose maintainers themselves label as “unmaintained”
(pushing Wayland as the replacement)."

I upgraded to Fedora 43 on the Thinkpad. It seems to work well!
I do have the Temurin Java repository activated.
