One half of the dudes that do the Linux User Space audio/video podcast.
I suppose it really depends on when you tried it. Ubuntu 23.10 has been working quite well on Wayland. I haven’t once failed down to X, and the only papercut I run into now is with differently scaled displays (100% and 150%) where OBS will crash the session when moving back and forth.
Everything else seems good as I haven’t really seen anything else break at all and I use Firefox, Kdenlive, Audacity, lots of chat apps, and played some games. Specifically, playing Vivaldia 2 while I was remotely compiling Gentoo using OBS to livestream.
There really isn’t one. Wayland is maturing and app support is following.
This is the way things always go in open source. I’m betting soon there will be a distro that will announce a never Wayland stance just like Devuan prior.
Seems they need some updates. OBS, Zoom and Xfce are all happy to work toward Wayland, and OBS/Zoom both work pretty well on it, so 🤷
And no telling what else has changed since; checks notes; 2016?
Unfortunately we need to force companies to do the right thing. And we should.
tl;dr If you just let me break laws and violate human decency, we’d all be so rich flying around in space doing whatever we want all the time! C’monnnn. Pleeeease?
You can blame a cat or dog approximately once per 5 years of employment. Nice save!
That’s an audible “yuck” from me, man. Well done!
I agree. And unfortunately, it seems like it’s not an isolated problem. It’s everywhere. The XFS maintainerquit today, too.. I mean, Alpine and XFS aren’t exactly small…
🤏 This much
If it’s between her health and the community, I’d choose her health, too. Who knows, maybe she’ll be back one day, but hopefully in a more limited, healthy capacity.
I don’t go measuring my arm much, but 12” seems a little short. Kid arm, maybe.
Good feature, though.
Amarok and Oxygen. Yes. 😔
This one will affect Linux Mint as it’s a change Ubuntu’s been maintaining in the kernel for a few years. And Linux Mint uses Ubuntu’s kernels.
According to the Ubuntu bulletin, a simple update is sufficient.
The Wiz announcement didn’t really go into specifics, so not sure other than normal user auditing.
Looks like you can choose the upgrade in the Update Manager now!
This is why I still run out and grab the deb. Might not be the fanciest, or the “Linux way” but I just want my stuff to work.
