For people like me who were faced with the paywall after reading one too many Reuters articles.

But why wouldn’t they use .local/share/Trash instead? Isn’t that supposed to be a unified directory for that very purpose?

Agreed.

It isn’t that yet. It will be when 0.4.0 releases, which will probably not be in 2024.

I don’t think Hyprland has to be unique… but as it stands, it most definitely is.

It isn’t. River 0.4.0 will be turning River into a base to build your own window manager, taking it much further than Hyprland ever could, with a custom protocol, etc.

Oh come on! First, you hate on COSMIC for taking away some of the noob user base, now you hate on other compositors for taking some of your other user base.

Why can’t you be happy that there are other projects in this space? Why can’t you just be happy that people are now more likely to find a project which works for them? Is it because your own project is losing users, now that people are no longer trapped to it, because it’s no longer the only good project in the space?

Even Brodie admitted that you’re not completely right on many of your takes, so why not focus on what you’re good at, aka writing a Wayland compositor?

Edit: It seems that I should have read the article. He talks about things from a different point of view, but if you’re looking to write a proper Wayland “window manager”, there is only one real choice and it’s not Hyprland, it’s the upcoming River 0.4.0 which will use a custom protocol, based on the layout managers that River was already made for. Basically the dev, Isaac, is moving as much of the window management into the “layout manager” protocol to turn River into a base for writing your own Window manager.

It’s one of the main project releases I’m the most excited about in the Linux space.

Only a year? Come on LF! I know you’re just a soulless organisation there to provide employment for Torvalds, GKH and others, but you can at least make some SOME effort!!!

Of all the stupid money pit projects they could drop and focus on Firefox and Thunderbird… they drop privacy advocacy. Might as well drop the browser engine and MDN, to ensure Mozilla loses ALL positive impact on the world, yeah???

If anyone can share what caused the downvotes, I’d be very happy if you could let me know. Thanks.

CTT claims that Bluesky is great, but I’m just not into that type of social media so while I’m on Mastodon, I don’t actually use it.

You’re forgetting corporations. That’s where big money is at. Business and Government. If we can take away the Government, that would be nice.

Don’t forget Recall, aka literal spyware, taking screenshots of your device regardless of whether you’re entering passwords, making private searches, using TOR, opening sensitive documents, looking at private pictures. It’s all exposed.

Right, so that was his plan all along?

Keep on promising a full self driving experience, which even now won’t really happen,

and then promising an affordable Tesla,

which he can then backtrack on?

Overpromise and underdeliver.

That’s the Musk motto.

Can’t wait to see him fail to bring humanity to Mars, and end up trying to credit himself when NASA do it.

IIRC, they expect to have it released in the first half of December if there are no issues or delays.

They’re not killing X11 support, don’t worry. They’re just expanding to Wayland support.

In my experience, projects going to Wayland actually improves performance and system resource usage. I got around 200Mb RAM back, when I switched from Qtile X11 to Qtile Wayland. 900Mb on XOrg, 700Mb on Wayland. These are with the same configuration and the same programs being autostarted.

I actually don’t know. I tried investigating the issue, using different users, or trying from a clean install, or without my configs. I’m not sure about the sources of my issues. I know that one of the issues I had was unrelated (Tabliss in Vivaldi), but I’m not sure if the Flatpak issues and the Steam & Lutris Gaming issues were related, but I don’t seem to have those issues on PopOS. For now at least. I haven’t done any gaming yet but the flatpaks seem to be okay.

Impressive! I’d like to use this moment to apologise for my assumptions as I’ve only used Trinity once, and assumed that it was unmaintained, given the old school UX and finding it was a fork of KDE3. I guess I was mistaken, and I’m happy that I was wrong! The more, the merrier!

Apparently running an update on Fedora. My flatpaks were broken on Fedora 40, so I thought it’s a configuration issue on my part and did a clean reinstall when Fedora 41 came out. Issues were not present… until I ran an update.

I’d suggest switching to open source apps or apps that work on Linux, maybe check up on the compatibility of games you play over at ProtonDB.

That will make your transition smoother.
