Actually! Wheel11 is really outdated, which is why im building wheeland, which is more secure and <...>
Not sure how this applies when:
It seems like it went from "Situation: there is one standard" to "Situation: there are two standards developed by largely the same people with one set to replace the other", and then soon: "Situation: there is one standard and one translation layer kept around for a decade or so for compatibility."
Not every single time someone tries to make things better is this xkcd relevant; this had nothing to do with unifying standards and everything to do with superseding one.
Huh neat. I kinda just assumed "wheel11" had 10 other versions and didnt realize it was an analogy for something irl
You are actually correct that Wheel11 had 10 other versions. It just happens that those 10 other versions were released before September 1987.

And that's why I'm getting AMD when I'll be ~~modernizing~~ replacing my setup

What?
I'm using Wayland with nvidia-open drivers and I don't have a problem even using proton via Wayland for HDR.
I'm using the proprietary ones on Bazzite and they don't let me change my refresh rate - fortunately it only went from 75Hz to 60.
When I looked up the issue, the only reason I could find is that the drivers have issues with Wayland.
Ah.
I've used a few distros that locked specific patch levels and that's just one of the kinds of issues you deal with. Sometimes that version has a bug and you have to wait for the next major release to get the update.
I'm using a rolling release distro, which comes with a different set of problems. But, I have the latest drivers and Wayland updates and have not encountered any significant issues using high refresh rate, VRR, HDR even while gaming.
It's also possible that Bazzite is using gamescope which does have significant issues with NVIDIA, even still. But the newest versions of Proton support using Wayland directly (instead of XWayland), so it's possible to avoid using gamescope entirely without losing access to display features.
Obligatory "it works for me". I only had one issue with one game on Wayland. Some nvidia driver update fixed that a few months ago.
I've seen this so many more times from Microsoft than anywhere else. They even tried reinventing a regex syntax just for their IDE!
You should get 20 Linux devs in there, then we can have 20 forks of wheel…
i don't think a wheel with 20 forks in it would work very well
I mean, it would, so long as the forks are the spokes of the wheel.
Be realistic, it's gonna be at least 30 forks
pff you call that working fine?
I'm betting a certain highschool vibecoder will generate a million LOC before even trying the door.
Sir, this is PROGRAMMER humor
This again? Insert "wheel was reinvented plenty of times" comment here.
lemme yt-dlp this message so I can listen to it in the terminal for less distraction
It's a proprietary wheel, we need to create a Flat Circle for Spinning (libFCS).
the wheel doesnt need to be reinvented, but it does need to be broken down into its components so they can be used with other things that may need them.
the spoke, the circle, the tread, and the spoke hub should be broken up before accepting the PR.
I am fan of reinventing stuff that was frankensteined to kinda work in a modern world..
I don’t like hacky solutions.
Hope systemd is next.
Hope systemd is next.
OpenRC, Runit, dinit, s6, ...
The init wars!
(There is a comic somewhere here)

Plot twist: once you accept the wheel without reinventing it, you have to pay a monthly wheel subscription.
No, the wheel needs to compile with this standard set of libraries and compilers, not that set of standard libraries and compilers. Duh!
Resisting the urge to reinvent the wheel to run myself over with it
A spinning wheel? That just screams inefficiency to me... Make it solid state.
lol
