Are we reading the same article?
You assume they’ve read the article 😬
Finally finished Inscryption.
Holly shit what a game.
Wayland is trash and the fact that we are fourteen years into its life (YES, FOURTEEN) and still can’t get it working right is a good indication that we need to abandon it.
lol, I don’t get why people keep using this argument…
All of these developers, companies, toolkits, DEs and various other projects have decided that it’s easier to literally rewrite the entire Linux desktop than to continue hacking Xorg.
In fact they don’t want to touch Xorg so much that they’re willing to spend 14 years (and counting) replacing it.
And you see this as indication that Wayland is trash?
Yes, you can. Seriously, people act like Xorg is some immutable black box no one can touch. IT’S FREE (AS IN FREEDOM) SOFTWARE. FIX IT.
Go right ahead. Start by adding per monitor refresh rate.
arewewaylandyet.com says there’s ydotool and wtype.
Only ever used xdotool for simple stuff like typing out clipboard contents, so don’t know how well they support more advanced functionality.
Looked around some more - maybe it’s because they’re all GTK apps?
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/178070/why-does-shiftinsert-paste-from-clipboard-in-some-applications-and-primary-in-o
There’s a bug open for Firefox and you can change VSCode’s behavior by putting this in your keybindings.json:
{
"key": "shift+insert",
"command": "editor.action.selectionClipboardPaste",
"when": "textInputFocus && !editorReadonly"
}
Not sure why either of them are messing with a “standard” shortcut…
If you want a more system-wide solution there are utilities that let you sync the PRIMARY (on selection) and CLIPBOARD (Ctrl+c) buffers mentioned in the Arch Wiki entry.
One step closer to ⛧ Linux 6.6.6 ⛧
Right so just installed xscreensaver - automatic blanking and locking is indeed broken BUT it does display all the pretty animations just fine! (at least on Sway)
Don’t really have time to mess around with it but maybe try figuring out which mechanism is used for screen locking in your environment (in Sway’s case it’s swayidle) and get it to start xscreensaver right before calling the real locker program?
BTW you can get xscreensaver-settings to come up by unsetting the WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable:
env --unset=WAYLAND_DISPLAY xscreensaver-settings
Philosophical BS: I don’t think it’s correct to say that Wayland doesn’t support screen savers, but rather that it doesn’t support XScreenSaver, or, more accurately, the mechanisms it uses for screen locking and idle-detection.
As others have pointed out, equivalent functionality has already been implemented and is used by various screen lockers. What appears to be missing is something to take this functionality, and display an animation instead of just locking the screen.
I noticed that all of XScreenSaver’s animations are actually separate binaries in /usr/lib/screensaver/ so we basically need a locker that speaks Wayland’s locking protocol, but also takes and runs those binaries in full screen mode.
Or maybe XScreenSaver’s dev can be convinced to add support once the protocols are stable?
Ads on a computer??
He got his monitor mixed up with a TV screen or something lol
“Oi, fuckface!”
So get comfortable, while I warm up the neurotoxin emmiters chlorine refreshments
Latest LTSC is still on Windows 10 and the next one won’t be out till mid 2024.
I have it running without issue on some machines - not sure how it is for gaming though…
Like it’ll probably run most things but maybe there’ll be a loss in performance?
Which edition are you trying to install? Are you using an up-to-date ISO?
I’ve only ever used the business edition, and it’s never given me any trouble.
I take it to the garage whenever the little dash LCD asks or when I get the yearly letter from the ministry of transport.
Other than that I just assume it’s fine if there’s no weird noises…
Does this mean I can stop setting MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND?
Or is it just enabling the compilation of Wayland sections (which I thought happened a while ago?)
