this is about proper wayland support

I wasn't trolling, you were just arguing with a phantom instead of me, I asked for evidence the elections are rigged and you went off about term limits and how two party states work.

That's not true at all, that guy even wants a second one implanted for even more functionality, and he's extremely happy with it.

a bunch of threads retracted but it still works, plus it seems they fixed that for future ones

edit: guys look i know elon musk bad but these are really the facts http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xlv4biIY6JI

No, I don't think it's wrong for it to be specified in the config files for hyprlands purposes, that's standard tiling window manager stuff

https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Binds/#global-keybinds that's a bug then, it should be working according to the docs.

honestly if this is for push to talk, i have a mic mute toggle in my config that might honestly be better depends on wireplumber and ripgrep though. If you bind it to something and then have it run again on release you can make it a proper push to talk key for every single application.

$micmute = wpctl set-mute @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ toggle ; wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_SOURCE@ | rg -q 'MUTED' && notify-send ' Mic Muted' -h string:x-canonical-private-synchronous:mic-state || notify-send --urgency=low '  Mic unmuted' -h string:x-canonical-private-synchronous:mic-state

Chatgpt says

The text is a mix of hyperbole, hypothetical scenarios, and casual humor. Here's an analysis of its content and style:

1. Subjectivity and Personal Preferences:

The first part expresses a strong personal aversion to grapefruit, emphasizing its status as the "only" food the speaker cannot eat. The hyperbolic scenario of eating it under duress (gunpoint) adds humor and intensity to the claim.

2. Hypothetical Swimming Scenario:

The second part transitions into a hypothetical situation involving a pool filled with fruit juice. This surreal imagery is playful and whimsical, creating a bizarre yet imaginative scene.

3. Practical Considerations:

The text includes practical observations (e.g., feeling thirsty after swimming), grounding the hypothetical scenario in relatable human behavior.

4. Tone and Style:

The tone is informal, conversational, and self-aware, with a meandering, stream-of-consciousness quality.

Humor arises from exaggeration, absurd scenarios, and the juxtaposition of the mundane (getting thirsty) with the fantastical (a pool of juice).

5. Logic and Consistency:

While entertaining, the text lacks strict logical coherence. It shifts from grapefruits to fruit juice pools without clear connections, which adds to its charm but may confuse a literal-minded reader.

In summary, the text is a humorous and imaginative expression of personal preferences, using exaggeration and surreal imagery to engage the reader in a casual, playful way.

Hyprland and kwin I think.

The hyprland dev is doing a ridiculous amount of work.

the problem with snap is that it's proprietary, which really can't be changed, and while i'm sure it would be a lot of work, what kind of work would need to be done, is really what i'm curious about.

that is very interesting, however, why can't that be done wth flatpak?

Can you explain any of those things? I've never understood the appeal and was just kinda hoping they'd let snap die.

forcing snaps on people (if you apt-get firefox it'll install the snap even though you didn't install it with snap), adding ads for it, snap having a proprietary backend, snap being essentially just a fundamentally worse version of flatpak.

the only advantage i've heard for snap is that it's easier to package for.

Plus I think if you want the advantages of a stable release, easy for user, distro, they'll also need to be immutable now, what's the usecase for a non-immutable, stable, easy to use distro?

If you didn't care about ease of use, you wouldn't want immutable, but if you do, you absolutely do.

If you don't care about stability, you might not care about immutable, but if you do, you absolutely do.

Ubuntu seems like a prime usecase for an immutable distro, but it isn't for tradition-related reasons rather than it actually being good for users.

I had dominos in india and the US, and let me tell you, it's way better in the US.

If this is our standard of proof can't anyone just make up anything about china?

Surely if somebody is reporting this, they have found evidence that it's true, thus, it should be verifiable, no?

You don’t see people mention Linux Mint being hacked every chance they get.

Because it happened once and they dealt with the issue, manjaro... has never dealt with any of their problems with any seriousness.

It bothers you when people make decisions for themselves.

No, I just think that people shouldn't be recommending obviously bad things for new users. New users should be presented with evidence of why something might be good or bad, as long as that evidence is verifiably true... most importantly, they should be given things that will actually be easy. Which is why I recommended bazzite.

I don’t believe most of what you say and you’re just here to shill your own, niche distro.

Literally everything I said is a verifiable fact except that i service 5 people.

I hope everyone reading this can realize how asinine this community has become and make pragmatic decisions for themselves!

Dude this only makes you look asinine. Did you really post to a public forum with a poorly thought out bad opinion and no evidence and expect everyone to rally behind you as a pragmatist?

Ease of use is EXACTLY my issue with manjaro, as someone who has serviced 5 separate people, they have all managed to break it with their limited experience, without doing anything strange at all, in ways that have been increasingly difficult to fix, i eventually had them all switch.

You've been lucky, if you use something like bazzite, you'll literally never have any issues even if you try, let me give you an example of something that might happen if you use nvidia

each linux package is version numbered, instead of just having a "linux" like arch does, manjaro insists you have linux49 installed, and that you use their gui kernel replacer to change them out.

If you have the nvidia package installed, and don't update for a very long time, eventually, this linux package will be one that's out of date, and will conflict with the nvidia one, meaning now your machine can't update, without some lengthy maintenance, this was something i had to do literally dozens of times. There is no chance an inexperienced user could figure this out for themselves. I essentially had to rdd the nvidia package, update, reinstall it, and it took hours.

There are many other examples of this, manjaro is a pre-configured arch, sure, but it's an extremely poorly pre-configured arch, endeavoros is command-line centric, sure, but you can just use the gui in the same way you can with manjaro, arch is just a cli-centric OS. If you don't like the CLI, I highly recommend bazzite, you'll never have any of these issues, updates will be automatic and easy to rollback, the system will be entirely unbreakable unless you try very very hard.

"It just works" is precisely the problem with manjaro, it doesn't just work, ease of use is not a valid usecase for manjaro for so many reasons.

https://github.com/arindas/manjarno read this document for all their insane security failings.

That's not even going into the fact that they use the AUR and don't push it back two weeks while also pushing back the arch packages two weeks, which accomplishes literally nothing, and also causes aur packages to break things regularly.

These kinds of issues are not something I would ever recommend for someone who wants something easy to use. If you want something pre-configured, I assure you, you do not want arch, that defeats the very purpose and the very usecase of that distro.

My entire focus is finding distros that are exceptionally easy to use for people, because I give linux to the elderly and i'm trying to increase the usernumbers, recommending manjaro is an absolute no for that. I actually had less maintenance when I was giving people arch setup with just archinstall kde and discover.

Furthermore, if people hated "easy for user" distros, why are they not shitting on linux mint? Or bazzite? It's quite possible that you've just chosen a bad distro and been lucky with your maintenance needs.

How can I verify this?

edit: to be clear i'm not denying it, I just see no way to do this at all, it's probably true.

I did form my own opinion on the distro, I recommended it to people for years and did their it work for free... that's how I know it's horrible for every possible usecase, why do you like it?

Source appears to be "dude just trust me"

is there any evidence of this?

i genuinely can't get my head around this, why recommend that distro, it is probably actually the worst one of all of them for every usecase

There's precisely one reason I care, to increase compatibility with linux.

Once anticheat works perfectly on linux, I'll completely stop caring what other people do. Everything else will come with time.
