I'm running Debian/Trixie on an AMD64 system. I recently did a fresh
install of Bookworm followed by a full-upgrade to Trixie, and it didn't
fix anything. BTW: this is with a fresh user home as well.
I've been trying both X and Wayland and they both show similar failings:
1. despite having the desktop set to restore the session on last
logout, it doesn't. Indeed, right now that only app that seems to
open is GKrellM
2. When I try to shut down or start my computer, I don't get the panel
that gives me options. Instead the computer becomes non-responsive
for 30 seconds before doing what I asked on the menu (same if I hit
ctrl-alt-del).
3. When I open a window, it doesn't restore to the previous size or
position.
I'm using Wayland right now, and it's not really living up to its hype
as being faster than X. When I try to log back in after the screen
locks, I have to wait until the screen actually wakes up before I can
enter my password.
While neither window system is working well right now, Wayland is by far
the more problematic. I end up having to close active applications after
waking the screen back up just to be able to use them again (e.g.
Scribus). After waiting for more than a decade, I have to question
whether Wayland will ever be ready for Prime Time.
