Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    That's called a paradox, it'll never be mature software if people don't move to it so edge cases can be found and fixed.

    Not here. This is not linux desktop share where every actor is an independent agent and all options are viable. Xorg is developed by the same people doing Wayland, and they decided Xorg is dead and will only receive security updates. I agree that Wayland compatibility is still not fully mature. But unfortunately for all those devs the upgrade window is moving fast and eventually their software will be left behind unless they change to Wayland. At this point Xorg is not even the default anymore.

    I fully expect people to keep using a broken Xorg, not move into wayland, and not fork and keep it updated.

    But the devs are free to do whatever they want. No opinions there. I wouldn't want to maintain Xorg either.

    Totally, nothing in Linux land ever truly dies. Someone, somewhere will surely fork it once it is never updated anymore. But I wouldn't want to be that person either.

    If somebody was willing to do this, xorg would still be maintained.

    xorg is actually legitimately so terrible to work on that nobody is interested in doing this who actually knows how xorg works.

    Unfortunately there's no possible way to get screensavers working under wayland, which is what's holding me back (also screensharing over Discord, but that's not wayland's fault)

    ^ fixes discord with an even better client, or you can use the many versions of discord that use the native system electron, which will all fix screensharing too.
