Thanks.

RTRedreovic,

I don’t want to risk breaking any keys.

RTRedreovic,

Yeah probably so. I was thinking about it.

RTRedreovic,

I can but I also do want to convert my keyboard.

RTRedreovic,

I have been using Void Linux for over an year now. It provides a very versatile environment. I find it very convenient and efficient for my work.

RTRedreovic,

Always did on my hardware at least. When I was using Windows, my old laptop started lagging very much and it was becoming unbearable. I could not get a new one immediately. I got to know about Linux one day and installed it to try it out because there was not really anything else I could try.

I could not believe myself how buttery smooth my laptop became after that. 95% of the games that I used to play on Windows run with more performance on Linux.

RTRedreovic,

And many people also do use an adblocker backlinko.com/ad-blockers-users

RTRedreovic,

A lot of people do use Adblockers. backlinko.com/ad-blockers-users

You can try other sources as well. The statistics say significant numbers on multiple places.

RTRedreovic,

Amazing text! I was just commenting how ridiculous the article is this morning and now you have written a more lenghty criticism.

As for the Zoom bit. I will add my 2 years experience of using it on Wayland on Artix as well as Void Linux - I never used Gnome and it worked fine on Sway and River on my iGPU. In between a few updates I did face a few crashes of zoom when rendering on my nvidia gpu but it was still fine. I have not used zoom in over an year so I can’t comment on how it is now.

As for “wayland does not work properly on nvidia.” Solely nvidia is blame. They have been pushing out patches to bring out more support but it’s just nvidia who can fix that in the end. While I would not want to assume what hardware the author uses. Wayland works like butter on my Intel hardware.

Great alternatives for xclip and many other X-tools are already in the market.

The VSync issue on wayland is genuine. Disabling it in-game does not affect anything because it is enforced by the compositor. VSync is an integral part of Wayland Compositioning (acc. to the wlroots dev) but a solution to automatically disable it in full screen applications, etc is down the pipeline and work is ongoing. I have not been following it but I think some fixes were already released, I could be wrong.

As for X11 Atoms: stackoverflow.com/…/x-to-wayland-what-about-atomsJust boils down to the application dev’s willingness to port the app to Wayland. The author of the ‘boycott wayland’ article seems to just want wayland to implement Xorg 1:1 for it to not fail their stupid standard of what-should-be-boycotted. And at that point Wayland is not Wayland but Xorg.

Most of the arguments presented in the ‘Boycott Wayland’ article are either generic issues being worked upon by the devs or things that don’t have much relevance but put down in a manner as if to almost fear-monger that Wayland is the spawn of the devil and must not be used at all.

RTRedreovic,

The main issue here is not that some of the issues that are mentioned there are not genuine. They indeed are genuine and have mostly already been notified to the devs working on the protocols and the compositors. The issue here is how those are presented. By creating this almost cultish “battle between the 2 display servers” thing is not productive and demoralizes developers. Making criticism is one thing and productive but “boycotting” is not. And certainly not in the bad faith way the author of that article has done. I myself have both X and WL setups and I alternate between them frequently. I am not sitting here “boycotting” one display server in a prejudiced manner. This is Linux, not Windows or MacOS. Users are free to continue using Xorg and develop it according to them if they do not like something else. And similarly, they are free to use Wayland.

RTRedreovic,

You clearly do not know what you are talking about so I have no interest in giving more value to your already worthless comment. It is amusing that you must introduce the term “Wayland Apologist” as if that has any meaning in this sector.

RTRedreovic,

No, running sway with the --unsupported-gpu flag launches it without any remarks about your hardware. It’s been like this for a good while.

RTRedreovic,

There are some hacky methods to make some Java software use Wayland. Iirc, github.com/openjdk/wakefield is the jvm version I used to test it on Minecraft and Mindustry. I did not really get that far, but it has been quite some time since I tested it so I do not remember exactly what the results were. Otherwise it is possible the subjected software itself needs extra editing to make it work on Wayland.

RTRedreovic,

Judging by post & history. They are just a troll. As for this article. I don’t understand why anyone bothers sharing it. It is one of the most hot garbage ones I have seen. Most of this article gives arguments that are either old, have no relevance here or are just plainly cherrypicked (the jitsi one for example, open the link and see the last comment, that they quoted). Most things are also application side issue with no relevance for wayland devs. “Oh my app does not work in wayland? Must be wayland’s fault!” This is a rubbish logicless argument. If one wants to not use Wayland, they are welcome. But things like “Boycott Wayland” are irritating to those who do want to use Wayland because they know how Xorg is.

RTRedreovic,

RTRedreovic,

You are equating a Settler Occupation force heavily funded and armed by the Western Imperialists to a Native Peoples fighting for their liberation and right to existence. There are no “people stuck in the middle.” There are only Israeli Settlers and Palestinian Natives. This false narrative of “people stuck in the middle” only amplifies bourgeois humanist tendencies to obstruct the Palestinian liberation struggle and aid the Zionist cause of occupying the Palestinian lands, in the name of “peace.” If your worldview is so narrow to think that solely the lack of firefights between the 2 sides is Peace then it is exemplary of your Eurocentric ignorance.

For decades Israel massacred Palestinians, forced them out of their lands, burnt their houses, confined them to open air prisons and gave free way to Yankee and European settlers to live without any proof of their rights on the land they settle in. Where was the peace?

You are playing with fire by peddling the israeli conspiracy narrative of Islamic Invaders, or “Zionists” in your words. If you want peace in the Levant then there is only one way to achieve it - The total destruction of the Zionist Entity.

The hamas is not committing genocide. The hamas is rightfully punishing Settlers whose father and forefathers committed genocide on the Palestinians. Who themselves live off the rightful native lands of the Palestinians. If the settlers want peace then they should go back to their homes in the US and Europe.
