I keep seeing people say this, and nobody ever gives any sensible reasons for why they believe this.

Do you honestly think X11 has a better design than wayland? Do you think every single app should have permissions to screen record without you knowing, to keylog without you knowing? That mixed refresh rates (without hacks) should be impossible, that mixed display scaling should be impossible, etc? X11 just seems fundamentally broken from the ground up, I have no idea what of x11's design is better in any way.

I'll grant you there's some implementation issues right now, but design is absolutely not a place where x11 wins. There is not a single X11 developer who would agree with you that the design of X11 is better than wayland, not even one.

No, but it's cleaner and designed for my usecase, and no real work to setup for me, all I had to do was add an alias

I just use doas because sudo has a bunch of features i don't care about or use, and doas does everything i need while being significantly smaller.

Absolutely not, that guy is eating marketing

there's already a non-draft implementation, if I had to guess a few weeks before it's merged, and then you have to wait for a release, and then your distro has to package it. So, it's gonna be a while.

BUT, I think much more importantly is when it is merged into xwayland

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967

Which should be fairly soon!

It's less buggy for me, for sure.

I think there's a reason plasma decided to switch to it by default, do you have any evidence that it's more buggy?

I don't think you're correct, immutability is great for long-term maintenance and makes everything, especially updating, much easier for new people.

Non-immutable distros will often have conflicts, or when a dist upgrade happens, issues occur, immutable distros largely sidestep those issues, and I believe kinoite is the simplest, most reliable option for someone unfamiliar with performing these upgrades.

The moment there's a dependency issue or conflict, they will have problems.

Fedora is not a flavor of the month project, it has just as much history as mint/ubuntu, and there's a reason they're shifting to atomic. Furthermore wayland is better for the vast majority of people right now, imagine you bother to switch to the linux desktop and then in a few months everything completely changes because wayland happened, it'll look like linux is absolutely insane from the perspective of someone who hasn't immersed themselves into the nature of this transition.

Not if you include laptops and people without dedicated gpu's at all!

And either way, we're not far from all of the issues being resolved nvidia side, and they're few and far between at this point. That's just the last problem left, and it only affects xwayland apps.

Kinoite is extremely stable due to it's immutability, if we mean stable to mean "unbreaking" rather than not updated.

Wayland is also the better choice for new people unless they have nvidia, in which case, it will be the better choice once explicit sync is supported in xwayland and nvk is the default.

I would highly recommend fedora kinoite, it's immutable so the system doesn't break without you trying very hard, well configured out of the box, and uses flatpak for apps so the system can be stable and the apps can be updated regularly!

Nah I just noticed it crashed anyway and didn't assume it was a flaw in my methodology but rather that i ran out of waybars queue'd

Yeah I noticed it wasn't actually working and for some reason assumed that it was because it crashed so many times that I ran out of waybars, so I added a million after that, and you're totally right, I know better than that, thanks!

...that does indeed look very similar, but my solution makes it so that if waybar crashes it doesn't even matter, which I quite like, even if the segfault has been fixed.

Thank you!

you might want to give this fix a shot!

If I had to guess the problem is that the file is macchanger.sh

sudo sh -c "curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shilch/macchanger/master/macchanger.sh > /usr/local/bin/macchanger.sh && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/macchanger.sh"

sh -c "/usr/local/bin/macchanger.sh"

just a guess though, also, wrong community

https://github.com/OpenTabletDriver/OpenTabletDriver pretty sure this tool is what you're looking for!

It's true that just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it isn't dangerous, however, in this case, it is actually not dangerous, just painful, unless you're allergic/have extreme health issues.

This is a neurotoxin, so, generally if it's not paralyzing your cardiovascular system it doesn't do much to you except hurt!

This isn't really fair, the guy was just unlucky, the vast majority of people could easily get a gila monster and keep it as a pet, and it would be a very good pet.

Their venom is not particularly dangerous, this man was just already unhealthy and so the little bit the venom did did him in.

If the average young healthy person had a pet gila monster, their venom would be absolutely no concern at all unless they're allergic. There's a reason this is the first death in nearly 100 years!

Hey, they always do exactly as they're told!
