This new year is my year of Wayland. I’ve got Hyprland going on my new work laptop. Still using my old one with i3 for the time being since I’m too busy during the day to thinker around, but I’m slowly getting this new one ready. Hopefully will be done by the new year.

victorz,

What do you like about Hyprland compared to i3? I’ve been using i3 reliably for over a decade, but did try Hyprland and thought it just felt like a new Compiz in its default state. What drives you to it?

Neil,
@Neil@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s pretty much exactly what drove me to it, plus the excuse to get started on Wayland. Like it or not I think Wayland is the future.

I’ve been on i3 for near a decade for what it’s worth.

victorz,

Interesting. So the wobbly animations and stuff is up your alley, basically?

Yessir.

Water1053,

I’m going to put together a SteamOS system for my daughter with an old 3900X and RX480 so we can play side by side!

victorz,

old 3900X

Oh God, I need to upgrade soon again, don’t I…

Water1053,

Has it been more than one month since it’s been out?

victorz,

I know right? I have to remind myself that I built this computer in 2020…

Will probably cave into the WM craze

victorz,

What’s this craze? I’ve not heard about it.

sherlockholmez,

Window Managers.

Tiling Window Managers like i3wm are all the craze right now.

victorz, (edited )

Oh window managers. I thought you meant VM, like virtual machine. W vs V, my bad.

Yes, they are the shit. Been using tiling for over a decade. Very nice stuff.

Immersive_Matthew,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I cannot move to Linux despite desperately wanting too. I am a VR developer and right now you do not have any open source game engine options that support VR and due to the SDKs I work with, I am tied to Windows right now. Given that spatial computing is the next platform, I really hope Linux options develop but it is not looking likely.

PoolloverNathan,

AFAIK Godot supports VR and runs on Linux, but it doesn’t have good 3D performance currently

Immersive_Matthew,

That is true, but it not only has poor performance, none of the industry SDKs are compatible. Hopefully this gets fixed one day.

possiblylinux127,

Could you get away with Linux in VM? Also you could run it on a separate device like a laptop

Immersive_Matthew,

How will this help me with VR development? Can you explain the envisioned setup?

Why does Tux have a cute little mace? Is this the year he gets mediaeval on the world?

NickwithaC,
@NickwithaC@lemmy.world avatar

That looks like a star anise and a cinnamon stick for the tea.

Kusimulkku,

It’s a mace

agressivelyPassive,

And why is there snow on the inside of the window? Doesn’t Tux know, that you need to heat to at least 19C and keep the humidity low to prevent mold?

ObviouslyNotBanana,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

I’m assuming he broke the window with the mace to get air conditioning

neige,

2024 We go ham with Winewayland, Plasma6, HDR, Pipewire 1.0, Wayland final protocols dropping and more playable games on steam

I plan to Continue Refusing To Daily Drive Linux again this year in my standard drive to push Linux, Linux Developers, Managers and Contributors to be more friendly for end users. You have to be better than Windows, and we know you people can achieve it if more can and do contribute. Make Contributing Easy and they will Contribute.

Maybe I’ll spin up a Matrix Homeserver with Beeper bridges to self-host that…if that becomes a necessity. Getting to know how to use and administrate Linux efficiently is always a good thing to learn, even if it’s not easy still, and even if the bad old days were even worse.

The Linux for Windows subsystem is a nice to have that makes learning a little less troublesome.

    OK WTF I need this machine now I didn’t realise a Dell workstation was granted support. Link please?

    Telodzrum,

    Made the switch to full-time daily driver Linux this year instead of dual booting. Next year is the year of Arch.

    Murdoc,

    I’m wanting to do that, and steam has made it possible, but I have just a couple of games holding me back still. Not the games’ fault, it’s just that I’d have to buy them again on steam and I’m po’.

    Telodzrum,

    I managed to get the last few of mine like that (all Ubisoft, fuck them) running through Lutris. I know some people swear by bottles, too.

    _cnt0,

    The fat little happy penguin never resonated with me. And I think it poorly reflects the community. Hence, I’m in favor of a new mascot: tox. https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/980762ff-d7e6-41f9-acc8-edb34772a194.png

    Of course, you can put arbitrary distro logos on it.

    jack,

    Tox sounds toxic

    _cnt0,

    Yes.

    cyanarchy,

    I do appreciate the self awareness of Tox being an unbridled agent of chaos, gives me big goose vibes.

    me I cant wait for Plasma 6, and maybe try Endevour instead of Opensuse TW

    justtobbi,

    Dude has got my plans. Though Tumbleweed is hella stable for the time beeing

    protokaiser,

    I’m planning on building a new rig for Xmas and am gonna go Linux for my desktop OS for the first time.

    make sure to go team red with the GPU, they tend to have less issues on Linux than NVIDIA cards

    QaspR,

    Time to rice the ever loving sh*t out of my WM.

    The term is often defined as offensive or racist stereotyping

    QaspR,

    What if I told you your username is one of the biggest insults you can say to a South African?

    aggelalex,

    I just bought a raspberry pi 5 and I’ll be SSHing hard this year

    Ooops,

    I'm still waiting for more distributions to include it to replace my old 3A+ home server.

    Switching from Ubuntu to Arch, because I spend more time disabling the default stuff than I do troubleshooting new stuff anyways.

    pineapplelover,

    Arch with kde has been amazing. I’m coming up on my one year anniversary from using Ubuntu and switching to Arch.

    funnyboy_roks,

    I did that exact switch for the same reason and I have to say, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in my Linux history!

    riodoro1,

    No wonder he’s sad since its snowing inside.

    QuazarOmega,

    He forgot to build the roof dependency
