From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Should be wayland by default, finally.

The wayland transition is almost over. JFC it took forever.

All that's left is steam itself, wine/proton, and i'd say we're basically done.

wine is pretty much there with its latest release. it'll take a couple of years for LTS distros to phase it out

I'm still waiting for this: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6025

I believe that'll make it so that windows actually use my SSD's instead of CSD's, i'm on hyprland and the double bordering is super annoying.

This PR does not look like it has anything to do whith SSD

[–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I thought shaping the windows allowed for removing the borders.

could absolutely be wrong

Xfce is still wholly in xorg territory.

Iirc there's work being done for Wayland support, but last I checked, it's not nearly far enough along.

  1. xfce is really not an important project IMHO, it's an interface from the 00's that doesn't have a clear usecase to me at all. It's a strictly worse version of KDE in my eyes. The only reason to use it seems to be if you're already used to it and don't want to have to change anything.
  2. they're actually almost completely done: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap

so, i don't think it'd matter if it were true, and it's also false.

an interface from the ’00s*

Xfce is more stable and less demanding for laptops comparing to Kde. The default can be changed easily. Im glad Xfce still exists !

They day I leave X11!... Is the day I buy a decent graphics card Seriously my GT 710 is suffering

[–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nvidia should be good now actually!

[–] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it should! If it was a supported graphics card The GT 710 relies on the nvidia-470 driver as the newest supported one. Anything newer and it just doesn't run

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Get an AMD one

[–] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's my plan! I'm thinking on getting a RX 580 Sadly I'm stuck onto a country with a worthless money, and even a 10 years old graphics card, costs more than my rent

[–] spechter@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I switched when I made my notebook my daily driver, and so far it's been going well for ~6 months now. But I swear to god, I miss bspwm and didn't find an adequate replacement
