@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.

@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
@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.euluisbocanegra/kwin-minimize2tray: Hide windows to the system tray, similar to KDocker but in the form of a KWin Script that works on Wayland

@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.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaOn a different note: the first day of FreeBSD'ing was nice. Of course the windowmanager setup with Mango and Wayland needs some more attention at first (default sound, pipewire etc. you get it), but that KDE rocks already. An advantage of a DE: lock, stock and barrel included (mostly). In the workday all went smooth, including Joplin and Signal. Good stuff!
#freebsd
@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.

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.
It really does feel like one of the Linux non-profits could usefully someh…
@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?
@marcus@hachyderm.ioSaturday is hackurday. Some nice progress landed in #springchick, my mobile linux wayland compositor; external screen mirroring, perf improvements and power efficiency, including native uclamp floor on animations and also a README with some nice screenshots :) It's also recently been mirrored to github for user convenience - https://github.com/marcusramberg/springchick
@jan_wagemakers@social.linux.pizza @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...
