[narrator voice: it wasn’t “just as easy as” nor did “everything work great”]

how are you only getting 1% battery drain overnight? my pixel 7 w grapheneos drains 10% overnight and battery saver makes it worse somehow

I would like to know your secrets

that explains a lot, thank you!

whats connected to that steamdeck that allows them to draw

yes, using spectacle I imagine

I use different software, apparently that matters

thanks!

and yet plenty of stuff still runs in the background for me, eating my battery when I don’t need it to be in the background

I will be forced to, but x11 is no longer being developed, so its not very secure to do so

additionally, Wayland is going to be default on kde, and Im not sure if that means that it’ll be default for me too if I update

not to mention that with it default on KDE, I’ll be running into more and more bugs that just, will not be fixed, because “use Wayland” will be the new response to bug reports (GNOME actively does this with a critical GTK4/libadwaita bug)

the point is, Wayland is being rushed and was never ready for default

still frustrating as all hell, these programs just worked on x11

also Synergy/Barrier/etc dont work yet and would need “non standard” protocols. Pretty critical for me

I am an enduser and I just expect things to work, but one of the most critical things of my setup wont

sighh, that sucks

does this go for pretty much all programs, like say an email client too? or is there a limit to this?

wait so you’re telling me I’m gonna be forced to use spectacle on wayland if I use KDE?

I’m told screenshots now work on wayland. The idea was that spectacle would not have worked on wayland because of how locked down it is

that’s something

I’ve heard that synergy/barrier/etc doesn’t work though and that is critical for my daily workflow so I won’t be switching until it is supported

Every time I learn more about what Wayland can’t do, I learn of even more critical stuff that doesn’t work

no screenshots? really? who approved this trashfire as default. That’s about as ridiculous as no global hotkeys

Simple mobile tools has been sold to a company that buys apps to put ads and trackers in them. They likely wont be open source in the future either anymore. Consider changing the links out for the fossify versions, that’s a fork

instead of the simple mobile tools, consider changing them out for fossify versions. Simple mobile tools recently got sold to a company that buys up apps to put ads and trackers in them, Fossify is a fork

as long as software I use daily doesn’t work on it as transparently as it did to me as an end user on xorg then yes, to me as the enduser, Wayland does break things and no, Wayland is not ready

I am an enduser. I don’t care about the specifics, I expect things to work and not suddenly break.

For all the “year of the linux desktop” shouting, nobody wants to truly really think about or consider non-dev daily driver endusers who just want things to continue to work like they always have

exactly this, I’ll use it when it works with no questions asked. I.e: when it becomes invisible to me as an enduser

as for now, it isn’t, far from it

fucking what synergy doesn’t work on Wayland? welp. I use that daily and no, that’s not optional, its rather critical for my setup

omg quickpic

a blast from the past that I forgot about
