  1. Don’t have an opinion too far away from the general public.

Forget YouTube.

Sony owns a patent for a system/concept that needs you to audibly name the company/product the advertisement is for to continue at the end of the advertisement.

On my computer I also use X with my perfect Openbox setup.

I tried Hyprland and labwc but both failed miserably. None of my main tasks worked properly. I could not screen record (yes, I’ve read all the tutorials and tried to do it but OBS simply did not find any screens or windows to record) and Kdenlive just flickers with white and black bars and areas (it actually crashed so hard that it destroyed my config and I need to re-setup it under X11). YouTube had noticeably worse performance and video quality. Also: Gaming was basically impossible (not starting at all or extremely worse performance - and yes, I’ve read the tutorials on this, too).

All of this may be due to the fact that I have an Nvidia card in my computer. But I’m not going to replace perfectly fine working hardware just because my display manager does not support it properly (which is entirely Nvidias fault, but still) so I stick with X11 until my graphics card needs to be replaced.

On my laptop I run Hyprland without any issues except one, but on my laptop I don’t do screen recording or watch 4K videos or do video editing or do gaming. For this use case it’s very well suited.

Wayland may be ready for certain environments/tasks, but in my opinion X11 is just much more compatible with anything.

Privacy features lower ad revenue. This is not what they want.

Dirk, to memes in Pfff, HTML
@Dirk@lemmy.ml avatar

a markup language describes a structure (how is the thing supposed to be displayed)

A markup language does not define how something is to be displayed, that’s what a styling language is for (usually CSS). A markup language semantically defines what certain parts of the created document are.

yay is just a helper. If you don’t use a helper the installation is done with pacman -U packagename.pkg.tar.xz.

Edit: aaah. Got it.

There are some packages in the actual AUR that use the deb packages as source, extract them, and make them into something that can be installed using Pacman. So we’re going full circle now 😁

Exactly this! They make windows unmanageable by the window manager and make the window look like a foreign object on the desktop.

Ah yes, the uneducated FUD article again.
