tailscale also just has a button to buy/enable mullvad as an exit node. if you’re just looking for a commercial vpn for privacy it works well.

the problem is if the connection gets interrupted your progress is gone. you download to a file first and it gets interrupted, you just resume the download later

is that not just a checkbox when you install though?

there was that one time Ubuntu added ads to the search menu tho

is there compositor support? is there a way to get kde to rotate my monitor to a specific degree via cli?

keep in mind I have no idea if there are real use cases for diagonal monitors, I just duct taped an accelerometer to the back of my monitor and can only get it to rotate in 90 degree increments with kscreendoctor and thought it would be funny if the picture was just always upright

wayland doesn’t support diagonal monitors

little dark age (album) really just should have been 7 copies of little dark age (song). for some reason I always want more but nothing ever quite fits to follow up

one is giving the permission to manage the system service to a specific user, the other is running the service as the current user so they have permission to manage it by default

not sure for what purpose you want a tablet, but I had a fujitsu 2 in 1 in college that was pretty solid for linux support. no problems with pen drivers or anything. the screen swiveled around and it folded down into a tablet. it was pretty bulky compared to an android tablet or similar, but it worked well for taking noes and had a full keyboard when I wanted it

one more for using nix, but for language tooling I generally prefer a nix shell and installing per project dependencies there. then updates don’t break random projects and you know all the dependencies of a given project

Brother laser.

Try removing essential packages from your system or unmounting /boot

if you have an esphome supported board the ikea air quality monitors are even cheaper, I just got one of those lol

5 years ago it was not a single command anywhere as far as I know. historic arch link since the history button was easy to find, but I think the process was similar elsewhere: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=NVIDIA_Optimus&oldid=523777

fork gnome then, idk what to tell you

this is someone that’s never dealt with drivers for optimus lol, which I’m pretty sure is the main reason people hate nvidia on linux so much

yeah that’s weird, and I can’t really tell why, but then that’s a gnome problem not a Wayland problem. they’re explicitly choosing to not support it.

I did find this though which seems to imply that it could be supported in mutter, but it’d take a fork if you wanted to implement it in gnome shell https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/973

anyway, there’s choice. if you need these features use something that supports them

where are gaps?

also fair, not dead, but it’s silly to say sway is too.

the calligra suite works fine too. open office is basically dead and replaced by libreoffice. I don’t know if any development is still happening. I can’t name another office suite Wayland or otherwise though

xwayland does just work though. I don’t even know how to explicitly run something under it

explicit flags are more of a problem, but they’re going away slowly, and for the most part people can just let things run under xwayland instead of dealing with flags. there are some apps that just won’t work, but for the most part it’s not a widespread issue in my experience

just look things up lol
