  • First, I have a multi monitor setup, with different resolutions, refresh rates and scalings, so X11 is basically unusable (tears like crazy and wrong sizes everywhere). On Wayland, Wayland programs work perfectly, always looking crisp and the correct size.

    Anyways, nearly everything I do is in a browser or a terminal, both work perfectly on Wayland. The other program I use lots is VSCode, which in the past was its own source of problems for Wayland/Nvidia, but now it surprisingly works fine (as long as I launch it with --ozone-platform-hint=auto so its not blurry).

    I do use lots of these fancy electron apps, things Slack, Discord and Teams, but I sandboxed all of them into my browser. Teams barely works, but it barely works anywhere anyways so I'm not missing out on much.

    I also use lots of native GTK apps, they all support Wayland perfectly, I really like the Celluloid video player for example.

    The only programs I commonly use that are X11 only are Spotify, which I don't really care if its blurry (I tried sandboxing it too into the browser, but I like to keep all my music downloaded) and Datagrip, which I'm anxiously awaiting for Wayland support.

  • No joke that would be great for privacy and putting users first. Users would go the product to the customers and the platform would actually need to cater to them.

    The same would happen with Twitter.

    Now, social media depends on its massive size, so even if makes the platform more user-centric, it would reduce the amount of users and reduce its value.

  • Debian on desktop, Debian on server, Debian on my VMs and Debian on my containers.

    I used to use Fedora and CentOS, then Fedora and Alma Linux but since RH decided to be evil I decided to go full community distro.

    Debian has actually gotten really usable lately. Bookworm is fantastic and whenever I want a newer version of something I use Flatpak knowing that the base below is rock solid.

  • NTFS is by far the worse filesystem commonly used nowadays. Even Apple has a better filesystem.

    When using Windows the thing I miss the most is instant copies. Everyone else has them and they are incredibly handy.

    In fact, with a CoW filesystem Microsoft could even circle around the disaster that is Windows update without needing to remake their entire OS.

  • I played Morrowind after playing Skyrim and I found it much better.

    It's much less accessible, but the writing is actually good and it has the best 'R' in RPG of any game I have ever played. The character progression is amazing and there are so many fun ways to build a character.
