@hummus273 Waypipe would involve a lot of userland / kernel exchanges avoided by using the kernel based mode setting Xserver. It happens to work well with my hardware. And I don't see any noticeable latency issues and not all apps work with Wayland hence I have no motivation to change to Wayland and every motivation to avoid it. Sorry if that gets someone's panties in a wad.
@possiblylinux127@drspod Expect a comment like this from Lemmy, bet you're running Windows 11, I've got servers running Ubuntu 24.04, 22.04, 20.04, Debian Bookworm, Mint, MxLinux, Zorin, Fedora, Alma, Rocky, and Manjaro, the Ubuntu machines consistently give me less headaches even though I do have to purge them of snapd.
@hummus273 Xvnc does not allow you to display individual applications only an entire desktop. I'm monitoring about 20 different computers doing different things and for me it is a significant advantage not to have to bring up a whole desktop but to be able to launch a single graphical application on my existing desktop.
I don't really understand the degree of emotional attachment people have to one solution or another. For me it's a simple application case, for me Wayland is not desirable, not only does it not network, but the embedded X-server as part of the kernel works very effectively by avoiding the kernel/userland switches an ordinary X server would require.
So for my use case, Wayland is NOT a replacement and so I have to object to people arguing that it is a full replacement for X, it is not.
@hummus273 Perhaps not because I'm not trying to game, and I can't detect any changes faster than about 1/50th of a second anyway so fps faster than 50 is more or less moot for me.
@hummus273 It's overrated because you don't use it, I frequently do. If all you want to do is emulate Windows than Wayland is fine. If you need network functionality it is not.
@drspod@possiblylinux127 Since I am using Intel graphics and there is an Xorg X server baked into the Linux kernel for Intel graphics, I switched to it at that time and have been using it ever since.
@possiblylinux127 It is touted as a replacement for X-windows but the PRIMARY ADVANTAGE of X-windows is that you can run a program on one machine and display it on anther making Wayland completely useless in a networked context.
@subignition@FediverseChampion Was directing at threads, don't want the fediverse to become Farcebook II. I run a Mastodon myself, also Friendica, Misskey, and Hubzilla. Prefer the long format post of Friendica, but don't want to see any form of centralized moderation because that just leads to centralized indoctrination, ala Farcebook.
What I ran in my Linksys WRT54G was DD-WRT, it provided all the normal functionality sans the occasional lockups the stock firmware did, and in addition you could attach to other networks, you could participate in a mesh network, you could increase the transmitter power from 7mw up to as much as 100mw (and this really helped in my environment).
@JoMiran@zShxck That is very nice. I love the way you can toggle between disk space usage and disk I/O usage. Here is a btop of the machine that friendica.eskimo.com is running on:
@AmosBurtonThatGuy Yes you can, but I've not been using Windows frequently enough to remember how, but if you google re-install windows boot block I believe you can find instructions.
