The panel thing is wrong if I'm remembering correctly. They set the click areas to include the invisible margins so you can still throw the mouse into a corner and click, as any sane person would. Its purely a visual option.

And it introduces frame drops on some devices, like Intel and Virtio and Nvidia but who uses those, right?

Wouldn't that still suffer from all the problems that Wayland has?

It might solve some issues (permissions, screenshots, copy/paste) by fully enclosing a real X11 session in a single Wayland window, and allow it to use more modern video drives. The trouble is, I think it will make multi-monitor and laptop support considerably worse. Wayland composers (all of them) have a tendency to crash when you all/remove monitors. KDE has gotten better about this, but it's still not great.
Furthermore, it's impossible to see all your disconnected video adapters in any Wayland composer I've looked at. xrandr shows you all your disconnected ports (e.g. DisplayPort-1, HDMI-A-0, etc.) You can clearly see their connection status. There is nothing like this in Wayland. In fact, there's no xrander. wlrander has to specifically support each composer/composition library (a lot of them use wlroots which makes it easier). Generic scripts for dealing with multiple monitors now have to be highly customized for each composer.

Wayland also sucks at KVM switches. No Wayland composer I've seen can handle a monitor disconnect if it's the last monitor. So it just crashes. If you have two monitors, Hyprland will move every workspace from the disconnected monitor. There is no way to disable this. i3/X11 has never had this problem.

Extra archives for Void Linux because archive.today couldn't load the timeline:

Void Linux doesn't have a stable and unstable tree. Everything is a single "stable" rolling release. It makes python updates insane and it makes maintained 3rd party repositories for Void very difficult if not impossible. They also had some insane politics and wouldn't even consider adding Hyprland. The 3rd party Hyprland repository has constantly breakage issues due to the insane way xbps defines shared libraries dependencies in the shlibs file.

I liked Void for being a systemd-less distro. I still like void less and less these days, not just due to their political splurging over Hyprland and now Xlibre. More with how shitty the distro itself is put together.

This really is Wayland in a nutshell. Why implement something once? Much better to offload it to the compositors and have everyone deal with five subtly incompatible implementations for every little shit feature. But thank god the useless core protocol is clean.

Old man yelling at... KDE retards, plasma 6.4 review, I have to agree that it's fucking stupid to reduce usability by hiding useful functions behind "hamburger" style submenus. Wintards will turn tail after they notice that Office on Audocad isn't working, so there's no point to import worst features from Windows.

Kill this man right now. Wayland is the best and will be the best

This will totally end well

XLibre actually making progress and proving how bad Wayland is by comparison is turning the people maintaining these distros into beings of pure seethe, comments are funny

First Bazzite puts put their transgender brown anime child mascot for the gay pedophiles and now Chimera is trying to turn the fricking code gay, is it truly over for non-Steamdeck handheld Linux gamers?
Click to expand...
Was Chimera ever marketed as a gamer distro? I thought their whole schtick was "Linux without GNU userland", which seems like it would actually cause more problems.

Alpine already has that niche locked up tight, so I'm not sure what chimera actually brings to the table. Other than homosexuality, of course.

Chimera's thing is BSD userland, LLVM/Clang instead of gcc, and dinit instead of systemd.

Oh and gnome as the default DE.

He basically HAD to go with dinit instead of systemd because he wanted the BSD userland so badly and systemd is actively hostile to anything not Red Hat Linux.

Guy is definitely an entertaining troon at least.

I'm pretty sure I saw a Youtuber call Bazzite and Chimera the SteamOS clones (it might have been Bringus). Maybe I'm misremembering that.

Dealing with non-GNU stuff means endless slapfights with tards who refuse to use standard facilities for no good reason. It attracts the sort of pedantic autist who tends to troon out.

Typically, people have reason and intent behind their actions when people do things. If someone decides they want to rip all GNU software out of their system, it's never because "GNU software is poorly made", because GNU software works well, and it's usually because "GNU is insufficiently pro-trans". They probably wouldn't do this with any other piece of software, but GNU is intertwined with the leftist activist organization the Free Software Foundation, so there's more of an expectation for them to fall in line, and their failure to do so is particularly egregious.

Does it? There is nothing about making a region of an already translucent surface transparent that should cause frame drops.

Using Linux is already autistic, maintaining your own distro is an advanced level of autism, and doing so with the explicit goal of going against the grain and rejecting the de-facto standard (for better and worse) utilities is the level of autism that instantly troons you out. Autistic nerd to troon pipeline is real.

Artix doesn't appear to be that way from what I've seen. Hell, iirc some troons got banned from the forums for being insufferable internet gypsies lmao
