Use a shell with decent auto-completion. I have not been irritated by this in years.

I switched to Wayland over two years ago and these days I don't look back at all. I don't care if Wayland has full feature parity with X11 as long the features I actually use are supported which they are.

Clipboard sharing in VirtualBox doesn't work right now (though I'm relatively sure it could be implemented by VirtualBox right now with Wayland as it is) and neither does AutoTyping in KeePassXC (not sure if there's a mechanism for that on Wayland), though Autofill in the Browser works so it's no big deal to me.

In return I get 1:1 touch gestures, better multi monitor support and an overall smoother desktop on Plasma Wayland so I'll take it.

People often still make complaints about Wayland that have been fixed months or years ago and it's a bit tiring.

That wouldn't remove the Wine prefix, i. e. the virtual C:\ drive where the virus most likely lives. Uninstalling Wine wouldn't do shit since it only removes files that your user (and thus wine) can't even write to, and if a virus manages to get around that you have bigger problems.

Lies, you can't fit 12 hours of Audio on a CD (at least not Red Book Audio)!!!!!!!!

I thought that was Rust's job! Rust can only be mastered by trans women and femboys.

Can't wait to play DOOM on a cheese wheel

Sometimes I'll randomly remember a joke or funny situation from years ago and suddenly grin or laugh about it again. Then people ask me what's so funny and I can't really explain.

You can either install flatpaks system wide or only for your specific user.

There are several remarks in that article that bothered me. I agree with their message overall and am a strong proponent of Wayland but...

Unless your workflow (and hardware) comes from 20+ years ago, you have almost no reason to stick with Xorg

There definitely are valid use cases that aren't 20 years old that will keep you on X11 for a little while longer. And hardware too: NVIDIA dropped driver support for Kepler GPUs and older before they added GBM support which is effectively a requirement for Wayland, so you can't use these older cards on Wayland with the proprietary drivers

Of course, NVIDIA likes to do their own thing, as always. Just use Nouveau if you want to do anything with Xwayland, and you don’t have several GPUs.

Uh, no. Nouveau is not a serious option for anyone who likes using their GPU for useful things. And on those older cards it will likely never work well.

The author of that article seems extremely ignorant of other people's needs.

I'm surprised he was able to watch Paramount Plus. I would assume that site requires Widevine DRM, and would not assume that it's available on RISC-V.

As for Blender and Kdenlive not working I'm assuming it's not because of the ISA like Christopher said, but rather because the board likely ships with crappy GPU driver blobs that only support OpenGL ES and no desktop OpenGL. Which is an important detail that this guy always misses in SBC reviews.

Facebook and Instagram, sure. But plenty of people are more or less forced to keep WhatsApp either because of people they want to be able to message that refuse to use anything else, or perhaps even because they need to be in some WhatsApp groups e. g. for work.

Communication platforms aren't like web browsers or operating systems where you can switch at will to whatever else works for you, you're more or less reliant on everyone you know also making the switch.

Their wife wants a divorce because they're an asexual king? /s

I use fish which is quite nice OOTB, although if you want a posix compliant shell, zsh with some plugins is also great.

I have a feeling they're slowly but steadily moving from deb packages to snap-only completely. Because unlike what Mark Shuttleworth said when they abandoned Unity, Canonical doesn't let their users decide which technologies should catch on. The Linux desktop as a whole is moving to a Flatpak future for desktop apps, yet Ubuntu keeps pushing Snaps down their users throats whether they want it or not and sort of "fight" Flatpak on Ubuntu spins.

I get it, Snaps are more versatile than Flatpak, you could make everything on the system a snap (can't ship a DE or the kernel as a Flatpak now, can you) and CLI programs as Flatpaks also suck compared to snap (and distro packages obviously), but for desktop apps Flatpaks are just the obvious choice and the Linux community has shown that.

I'm waiting for the day where you can install Flatpak as a snap on Ubuntu lmao

The poor cleaning staff isn't responsible for the dystopian ads, neither are other people who just need to use this bathroom.

Vandalizing the ads themselves, and only the ads, is something I could get behind though.

*Hope we don't sturgeon you too much

• Screen sharing works with legacy apps using KDE's XWayland video bridge
• ??? When I close LibreOffice, Rnote or whatever and have unsaved work I am asked if I want to save
• Compositor Crashes: Valid and, at best, annoying point. Hopefully that will change soon and luckily KWin and Mutter rarely crash these days
• DPI: In my experience scaling is a better experience than on X11. In KDE, you can choose if unsupported apps should have no scaling or blurry scaling.
• Graphical bugs are basically gone for me and have been for months now. On NVIDIA it might be worse
• I have not had significant problems with drag and drop or copy and paste in a long time.

I'm not trying to invalidate your experience; if Wayland doesn't work for you yet then stay on X11 for a while. But a lot of complaints I see about Wayland are pretty outdated and just not true any more.

I just don't really get the "I won't use Wayland until it has complete parity with X" attitude. The status quo is that X11 has features that Wayland lacks and vice versa. Like, I enjoy features like VRR, mixed refresh rates, mixed scaling, better gestures etc. on Wayland right now, but color management isn't there just yet.

Wayland doesn't need complete parity with X11, it just needs the features that people actually need these days. And yeah it lacks some stuff like color management but I'd argue for the majority of users Wayland is already fully usable day to day.

"Here's the solution. Wait, I wasn't supposed to be able to figure that out. Forget I said anything!"

That's why I specified Red Book Audio (the actual CD Audio standard). Most people I know haven't upgraded their CD Player since the 90s, and by the time MP3 got popular, people weren't using CDs to listen to them.

Btrfs snapshots are a blessing. Call me a cheater :P
