Where’s my guy with his “Now that’s what I call a distraction from the Epstien files” graphics? You are needed here.

Iron clad maga logic.

Yeah, you are right. Just a massive pain to deal with as things continue to diverge and I’m forced to deal with maintaining more and more custom solutions just to maintain functionality.

I want wayland to get there, just not seeing it yet.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll check out deskflow!

Yup.

X11 forwarding which I use extensively - I realize there’s waypipe which is supposed to allow you to do this, but I’ve not had a chance to test this yet as there’s always something else.

Remote desktop woes - Feels like a total crapshoot with this one, on a box I was experimenting with the build in RDP seemed to work ok, but being able to connect to the actual working desktop vs. start up a separate session that isn’t connected to the running desktop doesn’t seem to be a thing. aka, I could use x11vnc to connect to the running desktop or regular VNC to get a separate X session which wasn’t attached to the monitor and didn’t interfere with the desktop. There’s probably a way to get this working but it seems this is all built into KDE or Gnome now instead of being separate functionality. Tell me if there’s something I’m missing here.

Barrier - Keyboard and mouse sharing via network - I use this extensively and the break in compatibility is destructive for me.

OBS window capture - Just had this happen to me, went to update my streaming box and it swapped to wayland with no X11 option anymore, Ubuntu has completely dropped support, not even “you can install it yourself”. So the pipewire window capture is woefully lacking in features, I’m not sure it had the ability for me to crop the captured window at all, which I need to capture a pixel perfect section of the window to line up the control pixels in the stream exactly. But even if that feature was hidden and I was missing it, when it tried to capture the window for the serializer it was utterly munged, smeared and stretched and total trash. Regular OS windows captured ok, but the serializer, which is a unity app, was unusable. A full restore of the out of date OS was required to get things working again.

Yeah, I realize I’m using all the most esoteric features in the world, but that’s what makes X11 so damned functional, yeah it’s crufty and old and has issues, but damn if it doesn’t do all the things.

Edit: I’m sure if you just need it to do normal desktop things it works great.

Edit2: One more thing while everyone is going to be looking at this post, is there a way for me to set the display I want a window to show up on? I don’t mean multiple monitors, I mean like I can be ssh’d into a box and set my display variable to DISPLAY=“:0.0” and anything I run from that session with a GUI will show up on the main desktop display on the monitor, and if I have additional X sessions I can set it to :1.0 or whatever to have the window pop up on that one, does wayland have anything analogous to this where I can control where my windows appear from sessions not attached to the display manager at all?

God dammit, everytime I have to use wayland I find something that I need to use which doesn’t work.

Can we please wait until wayland can actually replace x11 and not pretend just showing a desktop is all it needs to do?

If windows users want to pay for a superior OS even though they don’t have to, let them.

I get to wear a linux box on my face, that can steam directly from my big linux box, oh also it’ll do VR and games. Shut up and take my money.

The BSB2 is great for what it is, ultimate lightweight and screen quality.

I’m so hyped for the frame.

Bostonites will give you the shirt of their back but will berate you the entire time for being so fucking stupid that now I gotta give you my shirt you fucking idiot, don’t you think at all?

Yeah but he prefaced it with “Daddy”

This.

What do you think all those cattle run on?

Just big ass servers with tons of cores and ram.

Honestly, I’m just happy to see that everyone involved was able to see that it was just a communication issue and work things out together instead of it turning into a big finger-pointing drama fest.

Kudos to everyone involved for being understanding and collaborative, good people all around.

The thoughts were declared illegal and deported by ICE.

Pffft, no!

The surveillance is what makes the ads so good! Why wouldn’t you want that?

A thousand times this, it’s not a mistake, it’s 100% intentional, they know exactly what they are doing.

I’ve got to throw The Budget Museum out there since it’s not listed.
