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.

Not yet. Still too many broken and unusable things in Wayland. Sadly.

I see freerdp. Does it have multi monitor support for wayland yet?

Such as

[–] westyvw@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Multi Monitor support on a remote session for one. In fact as of right now the situation is even worse and causes the application to crash altogether instead of dropping back to a single screen. Yes, I probably could force a x11 backend and it might work. But I shouldnt have to.

I am assuming this is the same security issue that has been there for a while. So many applications that could interact with other screens become broken. Maybe some of that is fixed, I suppose I should try again. But until I can multi-monitor with a remote session, I don't bother trying.

I am all for Wayland though, don't get me wrong.

What compositor are you using? Have you submitted a bug report?

https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/issues/2644

https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/merge_requests/2465

apparently it should be solved by moving to gtk4, and is actually a gtk3 bug, not a wayland one.

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*

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.

[–] JakobDev@feddit.org 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

I thought shaping the windows allowed for removing the borders.
