theshatterstone54, to linux in How to fix?

Okay, so: 2 questions:

  1. Do you dislike/hate Systemd, Poettering, or both? And does one stem from the other?
  2. What exactly makes Poettering crooked? Working for M$? So you’re telling me if Torvalds accepted the job offer from Jobs to work at Apple, he would be crooked too?

As someone that uses Arch and still has issues sometimes, I’d say it isn’t satire.

Good to know

theshatterstone54, to linux in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article

Yeah, I don’t know about Java. I often switch between X and Wayland myself, but I’m mostly on X because I use a tiling window manager (Qtile) which has a Wayland version but is still ironing out some issues before I can switch full time.

Fedora is switching because Fedora is always trying to be first at everything. And because things are very close tp perfect, it means that when Fedora makes the switch, a bunch of users will use Wayland more, helping iron out the last few bugs and issues.

I tried on Debian 12 a few months ago and failed.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the work on Plasma and QT6.

I didn’t know that about FreeBSD. Will add it.

Because it is the replacement for Xorg and X11 as a whole. This is like expecting all Unix applications to work on Linux. No, some things need to be ported or rewritten. I don’t want to force adoption of Wayland. Heck, I’m on Xorg because Qtile’s Wayland session is missing a thing or two I need (they’re in development but not there yet). I’m just tired of people pretending this article is accurate and up to date so I wanted to set some things clear. Granted, I didn’t do it that well, but I tried.

Also, whoever calls Wayland X12 is lying to themselves and everyone else. The only way in which such naming would make sense is if you consider the fact that the X11 maintainers (pretty much all of them RedHat employees) were sick and tired of maintaining it, so they started Wayland to replace X11 (NOT as a drop in replacement, mind you). So the only way such naming wpuld make sense is if you consoder the fact that Wayland developers and maintainers were the same people that were maintaining Xorg until they just gave up.

I didn’t have a great experience

Neither did I. I use Qtile, and I’m waiting for some things on Wayland to improve. It’s close, but not there yet.

Actually, yes. Firefox is good but I hate the UI. Okay, Brave seems nice. Love the UI, sync feels slow, and why can I not move the top bar to the bottom on mobile??? Phones are BIG. Don’t make it harder for me to use your product. Okay, there is Vivaldi, king of customisability. Nice, but feels slow. Back to Firefox. Still hate UI. And now wanting a better new tab page. Proceed to discover Tabliss for a good new tab page, and Firefox-UI-Fix on github to give me a better UI on Firefox desktop. Wow, problems solved. I’m sticking to Firefox forever (unless I decide to switch to Librewolf where I can still implement all the same fixes as on Firefox).

theshatterstone54, to piracy in Has anyone had any luck with Dodi repacks on Linux ?

Sometimes I find Dodi working and fitgirl not working, sometimes neither works, sometimes both work. I usually get issues related to unarc.dll and similar. I haven’t done repacks (or much gaming for that matter) for weeks now, so I don’t know.

Literally just posted a response to this article: feddit.uk/post/4608014

theshatterstone54, (edited ) to linux in wayland, not even once

This OUTDATED article gets posted all the time. The full story is the guy is a massive FreeBSD fan so he is trying to convince more people to keep on using Xorg because he wants to make sure it isn’t abandoned. Reason for that being that Wayland is built with Linux in mind and would not work under FreeBSD without a lot of effort bwing put in as it uses some Linux-specific components or libraries.

Edit: Decided to write a response because I’m tired of this ancient and incorrect article being reposted. Please read it, correct any mistakes in the comments, etc. Thank you.

theshatterstone54, to linux in change my mind: Ubuntu does the same thing as Android

Here’s a task for you: Create a new file called “Unlimited_POWER” in /

Do that both on Android and Ubuntu using the built in or preinstalled terminal, and no external devices. No new software installation. Just this task on a fresh install.
