    unlike some hardware manufacturer out there.

      It’s case-by-case. Fascists are going to invade and appropriate every shred of culture they can find. But some of their choice culture is so toxic that they will own it for a long time. “Final Solution” and “Concentration Camp”. But others like “living space” are probably not forever nazi.

      Agreed, I think the author’s feeling towards this is commendable in spirit, but to let a generic phrase be forever attached to a political movement in any setting is a bit much, even if it’s infamously memorable, it doesn’t belong to Nazis.
      Still, it’s just a name change, so, aside from a few lines of code to change, it doesn’t badly affect anyone. All power to the author

        It’s not a big deal to change the name, and it masks actual Nazi use of the language.

      I see what you’re saying, but the fact that it can be ambiguous is actually what makes it so useful to fascist organizers.

      They thrive on phrases that allow them to wink at each other when they want to, but claim innocence if someone calls them out.

        Isn’t that something done by any group being oppressed and not in power, regardless of what kind of cause they are for?
        e.g. those who had capoeira and similar things that had martial arts disguised as other stuff, back when they couldn’t practice partial arts.

        Though I find it hard to understand why they still have to wink now, when there are literal state-sanctioned groups of armed people-robbers around, who are also fine getting filmed in the act.
        When multiple countries’ governments have switched from turning a blind eye, to actually endorsing such actions, what more are these groups trying to accomplish by using these deniability tactics?

    Stuff like swaybg, despite being very well built, only support setting a single wallpaper on startup. This means, if you want to change the wallpaper during runtime, you must pkill the daemon

    So this…this is the power of Wayland

      No, it’s a limitation with swaybg so they created a tool that doesn’t have that limitation.

      …have you actually used Wayland? If you’re using Plasma or GNOME, its indistinguishable from X11 except it actually has a slightly more (inexplicable tbh) polished feel to it.

      This comment is incredibly misinformed

        I still bounce back to x11 over a handful of deal breaking issues I run in to every time I try. Screen shares are extremely low quality, barrier (vkvm software) crashes intermittently, and inevitably I run in to clipboard issues. After a couple of days I just want my computer to work again. I use Plasma

        I use both ATM, and you definitely feel the unpolished rough edges of Wayland in multi monitor modes.

          In what way? I’ve been using triple monitors for close to a decade now and my KDE switched from X11 to Wayland at some point without me noticing, so I’m wondering what I missed.

            I have a surface pro 6 with mini display port out. The adjustment when plugging in the monitor is sometimes not remembered, but I believe that’s a gnome problem.

            The real issue is that even today, some apps (Firefox, gedit, some terminals) don’t adjust their scaling to the new screen, which results in these apps having really, really microscopic text or super zoomed-in when they move from one to the other screen. Also the apps don’t sit nicely between one monitor and the next. And I think this might be a gnome thing, but moving apps between virtual desktops with both monitors plugged in is very weird, some move, some don’t.

            I work in Linux as a daily driver for work and personal. I don’t care what the tools are, but they need to work and stay out of the way. Right now, Wayland implementation of multi monitor for my hardware is too much bother, I’ll try it again in a year.

            I have no objections to Wayland itself, but I value the kind of stability xfce gives me, which is stable, predictable, and gets out of the way. Right now, on my hardware, Wayland/gnome is not there.

              The fact that you’re comparing Wayland to XFCE tells us you’re not entirely sure what you’re doing. One is a compositor and the other is a desktop environment.

              Your problems are with GNOME. I dont even think you could define what X11 and Wayland are based on your posts, much less articulate why one is better than the other

              Start by reading about Wayland. Don’t make shit up and defend a position you can’t even articulate. It’s cringe.

                I’ve been around long enough to have tried gnome on wayland way back when it was trying to use Weston as a compositor.

                I’m well aware of what Wayland is and that my issue is with individual applications not playing nice with mutter’s handling of fractional scaling and not setting the correct mode.

                And I’m not sure what it is you’re trying to accomplish by intimating that I don’t know what I’m talking about, but you can definitely take your horseshit elsewhere.

                  You’re a mess. Appealing to experience doesn’t work when you demonstrably have no idea what you’re talking about.

                  I’m criticizing your reasoning for not using Wayland. You claimed there were tons of issues, it was unpolished, etc. But when pressed, all you could do was point to GNOME. You couldn’t even define the problem until someone told you the term fractional scaling.

                  Then you told us in your own words that you wanted to stick with “XFCE” instead of “Wayland”. The former is a DE. The latter is a series of protocols acting as a compositor. Why would you compare them? Nobody who actually understands these technologies would compare them. It’s nonsensical. You meant to say X11, not XFCE.

                  That leads me to the reason for my vigor: you’re making shit up to justify your stubbornness. Which doesn’t need justifying. Just say you’re stubborn without all the bullshit and you won’t look so silly.

              Something KDE has done seems to have resolved the issues I used to have with DPI related scaling problems in Wayland. Once Plasma 6 hit, it’s been nothing but rapid improvements with Wayland as a focus and man does it feel nice.

              That said, there’s virtually no downside to still using X unless you have explicit display features you need from Wayland like HDR or the per-display scaling. Xfce is stupid lightweight and still my default for anything where battery life is a benefit.

                I noticed the same thing with KDE and Wayland. Sometimes my curser still grows 10 sizes or shrinks as I pass over certain windows or between monitors but things are more consistent and predictable than they used to be.

              Ah, my monitors are all identical and stay plugged in all the time, so it’s a much less complicated use-case than yours.

              I do have one issue where, because I picked the wrong 9070XT on launch day and couldn’t exchange it due to lack of availability, one of my monitors is on HDMI instead of DisplayPort and takes annoyingly longer to wake from sleep or change modes than the other two. But I think that’s more likely a hardware or driver problem than a Wayland one.

          Really? I have two 4k monitors, one being 160hz and I find they’re handled way better by Wayland over X11. Even fractional scaling is perfect now

        Yeah I tried it, out of the gate my favourite WM - i3 isn’t supported.

        I tried some of the other WMs, and they all kinda sucked imo.

        I tried Gnome but it didn’t work for me when I tried using guake.

        I also had issues with Spectacle on Plasma (captured area is just plain white).

        In both - OBS didn’t work properly either (black screen with some capture methods, massive lag with others) and games were a bit laggy (stutters/frame time spikes).

        Last one could be that Wayland doesn’t play nice with the proprietary Nvidia driver or that unlike with Xorg, Proton/SteamPlay dont support launching a gamescope nested session from a Wayland session (or didn’t back when I tried it) which usually ensures silky smooth performance.

        So yeah, this was a while back but.

          i3 doesn’t work with Wayland because it’s an X11 WM… You wouldn’t complain about X11 because Sway doesn’t work on it.

          Btw, Sway is a drop-in Wayland replacement for i3 if you want to move to Wayland. i3 configs work with Sway; it’s an i3 clone.
