@theodric@social.linux.pizzaThere's a MangoWM fork with "infinite canvas" which seems to implement something akin to a ZUI on top of Mango. I've installed it but don't have it configured properly yet. It runs, but it's ignoring some of my keybinds! https://github.com/ernestoCruz05/mango-ext
@rigo@mamot.frtried #wayland again in my new setup. Sorry folks, you're a decade behind X11. Where is the promised better tearing etc when the font changes color while scrolling? I hope that there will be support for X11 for a while. I would change the linux distro to keep it.

@nemobis@mamot.frI finally adapted my .Xmodmap file to Wayland, after I do not know how many years of procrastinating.

Oh my, I didn't realise the state of develop-for-Wayland was this bad. As a sometimes hobbyist developer I can feel the pain.

@yetiinabox@todon.nlI have now installed #FreeBSD on
-- a Dell Latitude 5320
-- a T430
-- a Poweredge R540
and it's remarkably easy. I've got Wayland and LibreOfficeworking cheerfully on the laptops. The server took a little more fiddling because of its own weird hardware issues, but I'm setting up jails for all sorts of things. Refreshingly easy. I really missed BSD. Glad to be back.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaI got triggered (thnx @…) to revive my description on how to get a KDE Wayland session on FreeBSD up and running. You can find it here:

@niqdanger@social.linux.pizzaOn to more fun topics! I usually use GnomeTerminal, but middle button highlight/paste doesn't work. Something about Wayland blah blah. (Im running SwayWM) I use GnomeT because I like tabs and open lots of terminals. Any suggestions for something better?

@tezoatlipoca@mas.toOh good. I see that problem got solved.
@alejandrobdn@social.linux.pizzaI'll be getting my main laptop back soon, on which—for reasons that aren't relevant here—I've had to temporarily install Windows.
Now I'm faced with the dilemma of choosing a distro. Since my ThinkPad runs Arch Linux, I'm wondering if it's time to reinstall Fedora.
What I do know for sure is that it's time to give Wayland and Hyprland a try, after years of using i3wm.

@nelson@tech.lgbtHad my first hard failure of the Linux desktop today. Wayland locked up 100% CPU, had to reboot. I've run into a bunch of bugs in various things. The bloom is off the rose, but I'm still really liking the Linux experience overall.

@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza @theodric@social.linux.pizzaOnly a few months left until KDE drops X11 forever, and they STILL haven't fixed fractional scaling in themes OR gesture configurability, both of which are fully working in X11, and the latter of which would be mitigated by simply stripping the hardcoded gestures currently baked into kwin_wayland and allowing the user to find their own way. (As ever, my kwin6 patches are available on GitHub if you'd like to do exactly that.)
I'm sure they're all working on Very Importan…
@marcus@hachyderm.ioBeen playing with phosh under #nixos on the fairphone 5, but was struggling to get the keyboard to pop up. Turns out the fix was setting GTK_IM_MODULE to wayland instead of nixos's default ibus. I think maybe the phosh module should have autodetected that we're on wayland? Also, I don't like that phosh is running a service directly instead of using a display manager. When you enable it, it overrrules the existing display manager...

@theodric@social.linux.pizzaI regret to inform you that Wayland has been canceled owing to recent developments https://www.phoronix.com/news/YSERVER-Rust-X11-Server
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaIs there any specific explanation why KDE Wayland on FreeBSD uses so much RAM? 2.3 to 2.5 gb? For me personally it doesn't matter, all these discussions are beyond me, it's not 1972 anymore. But it is noticeable and I wonder why.

@theodric@social.linux.pizzaUnbricked laptop after connecting a PC keyboard (since the Chromebook keyboard doesn't have native F-keys to switch VTs, and I don't keep an ssh server running for paranoia reasons). kwin (_x11 and _wayland) was trying to access a symbol in kscreenlocker that was somehow not present in the installed version of the library, causing it to bomb out, causing the entire house of cards to collapse. I shoved a decent binary into place, and the box began working. As per my personal policy of…
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizza @theodric@social.linux.pizzaIn the absence of meaningful progress from the KDE team before their stated X11 rugpull, SonicDE (a continuation of KDE-X11) may offer some hope, or if nothing else a bridge to some future æon when KDE-Wayland is finally sufficiently functional: https://sonicde.org/
