Oh man, what did #wayland designers think when they decided that there is no way to control position of your app's windows? There are now supposed to be extensions and whatnot, but this feature should be out of the box, I have yet to see it working.


Big con of KDE Plasma on #Wayland: Kwin does not implement a shade function anymore. And the discussion in the existing bug report says it is unlikely to come back and time soon.




Less complainy version: what do folks use for image editing sans flatpak in wayland? I could just swap to xfce and use gimp but I'd rather not have to do that.

To be completely honest I haven't ever had to fiddle with xwayland in years of using sway but maybe I'm just missing something with my config?

gimp or gimp-3 both start and don't error but nothing is rendered on the screen.

Woo, HaikuOS Updated!

Also if you didn't know @pidgin 3 _will eventually_ run natively on HaikuOS as they've built a #Wayland compatible API for their display environment.

It doesn't work right now because of some nonsense with gsettings that I haven't tracked down yet.

#HaikuOS




just encountered a very weird #Ubuntu2604Resolute #wayland #element #electronApp keyboardmap bug.

1. started Element Matrix
2. Key `k` on my Keyboard stopped working. Not the letter, the key. All other keys continued to work.
3. Switched to gdm3 using Strg-Alt-F1
4. Switched back to my wayland session using Strg-Alt-F2
5. Key worked again

What the Hell ????


Viewing a 1920x1080 [screenshot] taken from #NetBSD on a 1920x1080 laptop running #sway (#wayland) with 1.5x scaling set in sway:

nsxiv (X11) -- horrible blurry mess
imv (Wayland native) -- far clearer, but still blurry (can tell by looking at the parts that use bitmapped fonts)
swayimg (Wayland, maybe wlroots-native??) -- completely crisp

#FractionalScaling still sucks too much, y'all. 🫣 🙄





It's funny that evil corps have endless money and manpower, but they still can't make a working display server after 18 years.

#wayland


The actual meaning of "Wayland has supported it!"

1. The latest #Wayland release has the protocol, but no one really use it yet.

2. One or a few compositors has supported it, but the compositor you are using doesn't support it yet.

3. One or a few apps has supported it, but the app you are using doesn't support it yet.

4. You can use it via Xwayland only.

5. In some rare cases, it's well supported by all compositors and all apps, but it's very unstable.

6. In some even more rare cases, it works extremely well, but only when you're not using NVIDIA.


Normal developers:
Hunt down the bug and fix it.

#Wayland developers:
Always blame others and claimed that their product is "perfect".




I hate to badmouth free software developers. I am particularly fond of #xfce, and you can't argue with the effort to add #wayland support.

But this guy just sat down and typed out an account of his own self-contradictory weaselly amoral hypocrisy.

... or perhaps he delegated that task to the bullshit machine

"But here I am, with [this arsenal of smallpox and nerve gas] for the past [century]. I’m not comfortable with it, but the utility is just too great for me to take a principled stance here. I like it, and I want it, so I’m using it. Maybe that’s morally questionable, or worse. But, as I said: here I am."

We're at the stage of cultural decline where we just publicly announce our amorality.

I want to denounce him, ridicule him, but who has the rhetorical powers to execrate this individual more than he has just willingly done to himself?

Reason 42 why linux must seem like a bloody mess for people coming to it new. KDE Plasma under wayland and I can no longer switch keyboard layouts! Well, Plasma say I have switched, but even though the indicator shows I'm on the Swedish keymap, no Swedish characters are produced in any application.

Remove all keymaps except the Swedish one? Same result. Thank you wayland.

My latest adventures with #wayland is not pleasant. Today mplayer just fucked my whole system. It tried to load a video file, the terminal becomes unresposive and then the screen becomes black. Now kwin_wayland runs at many hundred percent and when logging in from another system there's no trace of a mplayer process. Great.




Still playing osu! with ar11 random mirror mods.

Unlike most "gamers", I use 1366x768 60 Hz VGA monitor, btw. Never managed to buy some modern monitor with modern res cos monehhh, plus it still works.

I bought the main one with my own money and the second monitor, I just got it from my old workplace, lol.

Oh I also stopped using KDE. Wayland gets in the fucking way of me having fun when I have AR11, HP11, and OD11 set on osu!. The latency is noticeable. Feels like my mousepad is "well-oiled" when I'm in X11, Still love KDE tho but yeah..

#Wayland retards: “One of my system won't run KDE over Wayland, but Wayland is as good as Xorg.”

what don't you like about Wayland?

I've been running it on all but one system and it's as good or bad as xorg in my experience. One system wont run KDE over Wayland - which bugs me. I've had issues with both, but can't say one is drastically better than the other at the moment.

#Wayland protocol is the new chromium.
It's always changing, force you to "upgrade" every week, so only big corps or "communities" controlled by big corps have enough manpower to maintain a barely usable compositor.

They took your freedom bit by bit, and wayland fanboys are happy to be slaves.


#Wayland fanboys:
"Wayland supports multiple mice!"

Me: "X11 has supported it since 2009."
