Crazyy!
Btw I am XWayland free since today!
I have a list of recommended apps here
Some apps need environment variables:
Qt:
- qpwgraph
GTK
- GPU Screen recorder, I guess
Electron
- Nextcloud Flatpak
- MullvadVPN RPM
- Signal Flatpak
- (Element, I switched to the Webapp in Librewolf)
- Freetube Flatpak
You can use
xlsclients -lto detect apps using XWayland.Some may even want to run apps through XWayland on purpose, like KeepassXC for Clipboard access or autotype. Lets see how long it takes to implement all the needed protocols.
Let me know when wine finally gets ported to Wayland!
True, if I use bottles Flatpak as a GTK wayland app, the actual apps still use XWayland.
Not using any Wine apps though.
Yeah, games are the big reason I jumped ship and I'm pretty excited about the ongoing work porting Wine to Wayland. I'm also too broke to upgrade from my Nvidia card so the efforts improving Nvidia on Wayland are greatly appreciated.
Gotta save up for an education somehow.😄
Yes, "just buy new hardware" is not a solution.
But dont let some news fool ya. NVIDIA already won the AI race, so their "new open source driver" will only benefit their newly sold products
Yeah, thankfully I've got a turing card (2000 +)which is said to be the cutoff for the open source drivers.
I'll just wait for the official version to finish porting to Wayland. Nothing against the three guys working on this version. I'm sure they're good people.

flatpak bad lmao
Flatpak saved my ass when I super broke my Arch upgrade but didn't have time to fix it before work. I ran using only Flatpak apps for like 6 weeks because they were the only thing that worked
Funny. True, on superstable but also super unstable systems, having separated apps makes most sense.
Not actually on "immutable" rpm-ostree systems, as these have the best and most solid package management.
So actually when people say "these immutable systems, you just use Flatpaks", actually on the regular systems you should mainly use Flatpaks.
Decent use case. You do use snapshots now, right?
Trying to set up snapshots is what broke my system. Not sure what the issue was exactly, but BTRFS was reporting a different amount of used space than there actually was, and my snapshots started recursively backing up until everything died
Next time I install Linux I'm going to use Ext4 and snapshots out the gate
That's weird. I've had zero issues with BTRFS and I have both compression and snapshots.
Have you looked at bcachefs, by the way?
Honestly, I'm kind of tired of complicated stuff. I just want a fs that works and is easy to do recovery operations on when it doesn't work. My SSD is big enough
Yeah. I'm hoping bcachefs ends up being good.
