Communist

Nah, I have ulterior motives, the more people on linux, the more support linux gets, the easier it is to move people to linux, the more support it gets…

And I can’t stand using windows.

If you send me a message on matrix or a dm here I can help you with that unlimited no strings attached, I have over 10 years of experience and am very free!

I love this!

30$ if you assemble it yourself. 60$ if you don’t.

^ fixes discord with an even better client, or you can use the many versions of discord that use the native system electron, which will all fix screensharing too.

https://sr.ht/~mstoeckl/wscreensaver/

^ screensavers

that’s not true either, nobody has bothered to port them but there’s nothing stopping you, this is also not a closed wontfix for security reasons thing at all.

all you’d need to do is use layer-shell, it really wouldn’t be difficult at all, but nobody cares.

edit: nvm it exists already https://sr.ht/~mstoeckl/wscreensaver/

There really isn’t even one thing is there?

If somebody was willing to do this, xorg would still be maintained.

xorg is actually legitimately so terrible to work on that nobody is interested in doing this who actually knows how xorg works.

^ global shortcuts was moved to portals (as it should be, portals are a much more sane way of handling this) but is in pretty much all compositors (except wlroots, but that’s also being worked on and not in won’tfix)

I don’t know what you’re talking about with copy-paste, that has worked for a millenia

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/264

^ window positioning (although still being worked on, definitely not in the category of won’tfix)

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/124

^ screencopy (screen recording)

Literally none of these things are as described won’tfix for security reasons. Also, wayland is a core set of protocols, you’re meant to use the ext block for things that aren’t essential for basic functioning (such as screenshotting), that doesn’t mean they don’t work or aren’t implemented properly, they’re done separately because they AREN’T core to functioning, there are certain compositors that don’t want the ability to take screenshots, for example.

None of those were actually true, can you list an actual example?

Seems like FUD to me.

What features are you talking about?

People say this all the time but can never give any actual examples.

…i think almost every distro does that well enough

and even if they didn’t, you can just install the manjaro theme really easily on any other distro.

You’re wrong about immutable, nixos is extremely configurable, I’d say even more than a normal distro

https://www.howtogeek.com/why-i-use-nixos-and-why-you-should-too/

check them out, I actually think there’s no downside these days, I say this with a customized down to every detail setup that I moved from arch, no reason not to go immutable these days if you’re new to linux especially

Manjaro

I highly recommend avoiding manjaro like the plague, their team is incredibly incompetent (see: https://manjarno.pages.dev/ ), I say this as someone who has given people manjaro for years and regretted it, I was also their it person, manjaro regularly broke every few months and gave people a very bad taste of linux

for example, why are kernels given version numbers in packages? This caused 3 separate peoples computers to break multiple times. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch, everything bad about manjaro comes from the manjaro team.

Y’know how it’s not rolling release because they delay packages by 2 weeks? They actually do no testing in this time. How do I know this? They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips… this is something that should have easily been caught, and yet the two week window did absolutely nothing.

the truth is for manjaro there is no real usecase, there’s no set of desires that align with manjaro being the best choice for you. I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.

But if what you’re looking for is an easy pre-setup arch, use endeavoros

If you want something simple and up to date, use fedora kinoite

If you’re a power user and want to configure every little thing about their system, use arch or nixos

If you don’t care at all about updates and want the most rock solid system possible, debian.

i can’t wait for native wayland, what’s the hold on that?

What about arch is it that you want?

I do a ton of distro research because I try to convert people to linux a lot so I might be able to help you with that.

https://bazzite.gg/ this is probably what you want, make sure to install the nvidia version.

Signal is not better than matrix in any way… or xmpp

Anybody got this working on nixos?

It’s a bad thing that they’re always the same, I don’t like having window borders or buttons and use a keyboard based hyprland setup, this is just a bunch of wasted space for me

I’m very happy with my rice and the dream has not sailed at all, I have had no downgrades, to accessibility, or usability with a custom theme, in fact, I’d go so far as to say custom themes enable better accessibility and usability for me

security? It’s just a css file?

This will incentivize businesses to only support chrome

People who know there’s another ship on the way
