Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Wayland is one of those things you use once and then always use. (Assuming your not on Nvidia)

    Assuming:

    • everything works (just check out this thread)
    • there is Wayland alternative for every xorg tool you need, and they haven't been abandoned after a month
    • your setup isn't impossible due to DEs becoming a monolithic mess

    X programs work fine under Xwayland for the most part

    [–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago

    Not tools like screenshots, screen recording - because Wayland is inherently different, you couldn't make those work in Xwayland without sacrifices.

    I think Wayland is in a good enough state to be a daily driver for most (non-NVidia) users, but there's still big caveats to keep in mind that can be deal breakers.

    I was talking about xorg specific tooling. For example sxhkd doesn't work in wayland. Swhkd is the wayland alternative that should work in both, but the last release was 2 years ago, is only available through AUR, and when I compiled it, it didn't work with either Wayland or xorg.

    Anydesk works. Supposedly Rustdesk does as well, though I haven't tried it.

    I'll have to give them a shot, Ive used just sunshine until now but it really likes to heat up lower end devices
