Wayland does not work properly on Intel hardware: Again, I’m using AMD, so I can’t confirm or deny this, but considering the Intel drivers are open source, and I’ve heard about many, many improvements made on the Intel side of things, I think it would be reasonable to assume it has been fixed.

Posting this from Plasma Wayland on Intel right now. If something is broken, it's something not apparent to me.

I think that's totally fine, as much as some might want to turn this into a "Ketchup on Steak" kind of holy war.

I grew up on StoveTop and I do think it's yummy.

My mother in law makes a stuffing that's essentially potatoes, bread, onions, whatever other seasonings, and yes a good bit of salt. (I haven't helped make it I admit, so I could be doing it a disservice to describe it that way)

She even cooks some of it inside the turkey and some of it outside, though it never really gets soggy.

As far as I'm concerned, you could throw out the entire rest of Thanksgiving dinner and just give me a big bowl of that.

When I take them to the recycle center afterwards not usually. I just put a blanket down and use care.

I don't think anyone is going to come smash down your door because you installed Ubuntu. But I don't know what country you are in and two years ago I wouldn't have believed Iranian police would kill people over wearing a hijab. So I think you should do it, but I also think you should stay safe.

Apologies for the tangent but can anyone tell me what this meme template is from?

No problem, if there's anything else that could help you to troubleshoot on your end let me know.

No problem, I've done no magic of any kind there. This is what the manjaro installer created only.

cat /proc/cmdline

Worked with no drama, for me at least. Hooked it to my TV because that was most convenient. USB-C to HDMI adapter, I just had to tell it where they were in relation to each other and set scaling on the TV. Fonts look a little screwy on that dialogue box, but only in the screenshot - and when composing this post I realized even there they look OK if I don't view that part of the screenshot on the 4K display.

Edit: No, untrue. I think I had the wrong glasses on. The fonts on the 1080p display are fine in reality, but the screenshot is distorting everything on that panel a bit. Again, screenshot only though. All good otherwise. I can't see any other problem after using it a bit like this though.

Not directly related but you reminded me of this wonderful blast from the past:

I'm partial to midnight commander but admit I haven't used it in a couple of years.

I'm fairly sure I have run this system dual-monitor though I don't do it routinely. I'll check sometime this weekend and let you know, if you are interested for comparison's sake.

@be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social avatar

so it’d need careful handling of things like Lessa and F’lar’s relationship and such. And maybe, you know, keep Jaxom the hell away from Corana.

I read the original two trilogies in the 80s so I've forgotten some bits, but what were the things that would be problematic today? I don't think I remember any details relating to the above. Lessa is always one of the first people I think of when someone says "so and so was the first strong woman in scifi" and it's a character that came 30+ years later.

I only just read the Amber books a couple of years ago myself; I don't know how I'd missed them. Very much unique stories in my experience, really unlike anything else I've ever read. I did enjoy them, but I think I respected what he did as a storyteller more than I enjoyed them, if that makes any sense.

The problem, as I see it, is that the author of the original Gist does not really want wayland replacements for what he has, but rather what he has to also work on wayland.

It's like the Windows users expecting to use all the same software on Linux when they move over problem, but in microcosm.

2025 might finally be the year of linux

The year of the Linux desktop is right now, if you want it to be. For me it was 2007 - and watching the evolution of Windows since then has been a continuous validation of my choice.

If you want to use Linux, use it! It's ready, and IMO has been for some time.

(And just to be clear - choosing otherwise is OK too! I don't intend my enthusiasm as zealotry. Folks making an educated decision to stay is totally valid.)
