Crazyy!

Btw I am XWayland free since today!

I have a list of recommended apps here

Some apps need environment variables:

Qt:

  • qpwgraph

GTK

  • GPU Screen recorder, I guess

Electron

  • Nextcloud Flatpak
  • MullvadVPN RPM
  • Signal Flatpak
  • (Element, I switched to the Webapp in Librewolf)
  • Freetube Flatpak

You can use xlsclients -l to detect apps using XWayland.

Some may even want to run apps through XWayland on purpose, like KeepassXC for Clipboard access or autotype. Lets see how long it takes to implement all the needed protocols.

Let me know when wine finally gets ported to Wayland!

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

True, if I use bottles Flatpak as a GTK wayland app, the actual apps still use XWayland.

Not using any Wine apps though.

[-] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, games are the big reason I jumped ship and I'm pretty excited about the ongoing work porting Wine to Wayland. I'm also too broke to upgrade from my Nvidia card so the efforts improving Nvidia on Wayland are greatly appreciated.

Gotta save up for an education somehow.😄

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

Yes, "just buy new hardware" is not a solution.

But dont let some news fool ya. NVIDIA already won the AI race, so their "new open source driver" will only benefit their newly sold products

[-] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, thankfully I've got a turing card (2000 +)which is said to be the cutoff for the open source drivers.

I'll just wait for the official version to finish porting to Wayland. Nothing against the three guys working on this version. I'm sure they're good people.

Flatpak saved my ass when I super broke my Arch upgrade but didn't have time to fix it before work. I ran using only Flatpak apps for like 6 weeks because they were the only thing that worked

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Funny. True, on superstable but also super unstable systems, having separated apps makes most sense.

Not actually on "immutable" rpm-ostree systems, as these have the best and most solid package management.

So actually when people say "these immutable systems, you just use Flatpaks", actually on the regular systems you should mainly use Flatpaks.

Decent use case. You do use snapshots now, right?

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Trying to set up snapshots is what broke my system. Not sure what the issue was exactly, but BTRFS was reporting a different amount of used space than there actually was, and my snapshots started recursively backing up until everything died

Next time I install Linux I'm going to use Ext4 and snapshots out the gate

[-] PiratePanPan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

That's weird. I've had zero issues with BTRFS and I have both compression and snapshots.

Have you looked at bcachefs, by the way?

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Honestly, I'm kind of tired of complicated stuff. I just want a fs that works and is easy to do recovery operations on when it doesn't work. My SSD is big enough

[-] PiratePanPan@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah. I'm hoping bcachefs ends up being good.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
