Why are you using hyprland synonymous for tiling window managers? Change title please.

vildis, in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article

Wayland does not work properly on Nvidia Hardware: It keeps on getting closer but is not there yet, or so I’ve heard. Apparently, the issue is with the proprietary drivers, as noveau works well. But I use AMD, so I’m only working off rumours and opinions here.

Posting this from Hyprland on NVIDIA, arch (btw) and the nvidia-open-dkms driver, but yes, NVIDIA isn’t fully there yet.

Akinzekeel,

I keep reading this all the time but I have the same setup and I don’t understand what’s supposedly wrong or broken with it. It just seems to work fine. What am I missing here?

mandrake was my first linux distro. I got it from a german magazine in 2004

Same here. being subscribed to unixporn community, hyprland always makes me wanna try it. but everytime i did, i just couldn’t make it as my norm. Then i return to my good old Gnome.

(what sereral months of DE/WM hopping made me realize was i am not good at using WM’s. The only one i used atleast few months was openbox in archcraft )

Instead of rofi I’d recommend using anyrun.

I made a quick plugin to also run stuff from path, and am currently working on a proper ssh plugin for that - extending them is a bit more involved than the simple rofi/wofi scripts, but there’s a lot more things an anyrun plugin can do.

Screenshotting apps and screen sharing still doesnt work on Wayland, I’m beginning to worry the rumours on Wayland inadequacy maybe real.

crypto,

@theshatterstone54 @buzz The rumors are real. I've tested Wayland on several distros on several machines and it has always been a disaster. On Debian Bookworm KDE on a FRESH install, the first thing I did was open the Discover app and it crashed. Every time I opened it the compositor took a dump.

Wayland is garbage and its apologists have an agenda. Their agenda does not include working software.

jacob, in I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

BONUS: here’s some command-line toys that are not useful or necessary, but are just real fun to take a look at especially if you’re new to linux:

  • cmatrix (does the matrix code rain thing)
  • cowsay (ascii cow with speech bubble)
  • sl (steam locomotive in your terminal)
  • cbonsai (generate bonsai tree)
  • neofetch (this one is actually very useful and will print system information in an aesthetically pleasing way)

wow, neofetch is really cool! thank you!

GigglyBobble,

It's mandatory for online boasting.

ikiru,

Thanks for this!

fastfetch is neofetch in C instead of bash, makes it much faster.

Cmatrix,SL and neofetch work on android too through termux, I bet others would too, but I have only tested these two

java, in Just install EndeavorOS lol

Is this from 2010?

viperhopper, in But Windows 11 is so good!!11!1!

@dinosaur game I’m sure this was a request of many

stepanzak, in Just install EndeavorOS lol

My first ever distro was EndeavourOS. I installed it when I was 13 or 14 years old because someone on reddit said it’s customizable. I never felt like I need to switch to anything else.

Time Traveling is a thing as we can see

zhenbo_endle, in Comparison between NixOS vs blendOS vs Vanilla OS: what to pick and why?

While I’ve looked into Fedora Silverblue, that distro is limited to only install Flatpaks, which is fine for “apps”, but seems to be more of a problem with managing system- and CLI tools.

No. Your understanding to Fedora Silverblue is wrong. I can just run rpm-ostree install package.name in Silverblue, like other Fedora spins. The small disadvantage is that I need to reboot to apply this update. (re-construct)

but doesn’t that result in new A/B snapshots, or something like that?

Well, you can call it snapshots, but there is no need to think about it. In most cases, the system points to the newest snapshot (deployment 0). If a rollback is needed, I can pin to the older deployments. When a major change is to be applied (Like bump Fedora version), I’d manually mark the current deployment as dont-auto-delete.

Sure, but I’d like to have a more seamless experience, i.e. not having to open/start any “containers” or something like that.

I never used toolbox in my Fedora Silverblue system. I feel that I can’t tell the difference between using Silverblue and the default Fedora spin

tanja,

Thank you; that was very insightful 😊

Also: I think rpm-ostree only supports rpm-based packages, tho; right?

Can I install .deb software too?
And is there any kind of system-as-a-config-file kind of solution available like in NixOS or blendOS?

zhenbo_endle,

Also: I think rpm-ostree only supports rpm-based packages, tho; right?

I don’t think rpm-ostree could support .deb softwares, just like dnf/yum can’t support deb packages.

Can you share your use case for trying to install a deb package in Fedora? I’m just curious.

And is there any kind of system-as-a-config-file kind of solution available like in NixOS or blendOS?

Good question. I only have a few computers, so I had never considered about it.

@zhenbo_endle @tanja you can install deb software in a seamless way using toolbox https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/rhel8/toolbox and a very simple Debian container

andruid,

For other systems I think distrobox and toolbox are kind the intended way to mess with them. For configuration as code ansible is a popular answer.

tanja,

How well does Ansible work when I want to change my config? Is a quick reboot sufficient!

andruid,

It depends on if the changes needs it or not. You can set a reboot flag on a given task and at the end the system will reboot, but if no reboot is needed then it will just make the change live.
