    It’s a nice feature in theory. In practice, the sort of crash this guards against happens to me no more than once a year. Often more rarely. And I’m including all my machines in this anecdata - my personal desktop, laptop, corporate workstation, with Intel and NVIDIA GPUs in the mix. 😄

      In the video he provides additional use cases outside of crashes. If I’m understanding it correctly, one is the ability to seamlessly transition across and/or run multiple DE’s in real-time, and the second is reimagining app loading by being able to restore apps from the disk as if they never left RAM. Someone please correct me if I misinterpreted this

      In addition this feature makes debugging and developing KWin much easier because you can just restart the compositor without interrupting your workflow.

        Hahaha. You know what, I thought that’d be the case but I’ve been on Wayland on my Framework since Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I’m baffled at the stability of the stack. I thought it’d be a shit show, and it wasn’t. I guess a decade of development didn’t go in vain. 😄
