Neste vídeo, eu mostro Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered rodando em Full HD, na RX 550 de 4 GB, comparando o desempenho entre Debian 13 e Linux Mint 22.3, lado a lado.

O teste foi feito usando o mesmo hardware e as mesmas configurações dentro do jogo.

No Debian, o jogo roda em Wayland, enquanto no Linux Mint o teste foi feito em X11.

TIL: #NVIDIA hat noch immer Probleme mit Energiesparmodi. Hab ein System mit #Xorg (remote access und wayland ist noch immer no-go). Nach 10(?) Minuten geht X per default schlafen und schaltet per #DPMS den Monitor aus. Greift man nur remote zu, ändert sich optisch nix. Man sieht das Bild, kann entsperren und den PC nutzen. Also fast. Weil alle Programme mit Hardwarebeschleunigung durch VSync auf die FPS des "Monitors" gehen - und DPMS off macht bei NVidia 1FPS maximum. Die virtuellen Eingaben setzen dabei dem DPMS-Timer nicht zurück, lokale Eingaben würden ein Aufwachen auslösen. Lösung: dpms force on und per xset -dpms die Energiesparmodi abschalten.

Tanto #GOG como #Epic van a lanzar sendas tiendas para #GNU.

No ha hecho falta una base de usuarios muy grande para que se decidan a hacerlo.

Sí que ha hecho falta alguien que creyera en un sistema más justo.

Subject: Switched my Linux distro to XLibre
For: Linux distro developers

This is a copy of a post that I made just now in the Github issues section for XLibre. Link to the original post:
https://github.com/orgs/X11Libre/discussions/556

I've been developing a Linux distro, #Laclin, for 30 years. In the past 24 hours, I've switched, for now, from the old #Xorg framework to #XLibre. This includes, so far, xserver and some of the video drivers. I'll comment below on the rest.

This is my desktop running on XLibre:

The desktop is original. The parts add up to only a few MB. I like light and stable. I'm not a fan of sumo-wrestler size layers that gobble up GB of RAM and drag performance down to Windows level.

I'm also the type that holds up a cross and recites "Get thee behind me, Satan" when I see systemd and Wayland. No offense to fans of systemd and Wayland is intended. But I don't plan to switch to either. So, XLibre is a positive development.

I've had no "build" or runtime issues with XLibre xserver so far. I needed to switch some of the video drivers to the XLibre forks in order to get them to build. I'd switch other components as well, but here's the thing:

Did I mention that I have 30 years of work invested in the distro? I don't want to break 2,000 packages.

The distro includes legacy packages, some of which no other distro has. The code goes back as far as the 1990s. [The 1970s to 1980s, in a few cases.] If XLibre drops ".pc" or ".la" files [as I gather it did in one case] the packages won't build. [Yes, I understand that that change was reverted.]

So, I have four requests:

1. Keep up the good work. The fork needs to continue or the distros that are switching will be between a rock and a hard place.
2. Prioritize backwards compatibility to the extent that old packages can be built in the new framework.
3. Use of systemd should be optional.
4. Set up a #Fediverse account and post there. LibreOffice, The GIMP, G'MIC, Project Gutenberg, Internet Archive, Dillo, LibreWolf, and many other projects do. It's a FOSS friendly environment.

The desktop in the screenshot is based on jwm with features added using lightweight scripts. It's got Start button, Boss button, taskbar, workspaces, systray, launch buttons, and dockapps. Plus Alt-Tab and single-instance support. I figure that that is most of what is needed.

It runs fine so far in XLibre. I'm not going to port 30 years of work to a new framework [Wayland] that intentionally breaks things and that isn't going to support old software or hardware.

Currently trying out the Cosmic desktop interface and I must say its pretty awesome so far. Doesn't get in your way, tiling works really well, and there's customization where you want it.

I miss the lightweight simplicity of LXDE, but the X.Org vs experimental Wayland debacle is just too much for me right now...

If I need to stick with Gnome, I'll at least try out Cosmic for a while

@dreamos82 what don't you like about Wayland?

I've been running it on all but one system and it's as good or bad as xorg in my experience. One system wont run KDE over Wayland - which bugs me. I've had issues with both, but can't say one is drastically better than the other at the moment.

#Debian #kde #XOrg #Wayland

Since I still don ´t like #wayland (everytime I decide to use something is not working), and my favourite DE has decided support for #xorg I fully switched to #sonicde a #kde desktop environment that will be focused on supporting xorg!

Does anyone know someone at freedesktop.org? The certificate on https://xorg.freedesktop.org has expired.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@whack/116983168997530856

Oh my, I didn't realise the state of develop-for-Wayland was this bad. As a sometimes hobbyist developer I can feel the pain.

It really does feel like one of the Linux non-profits could usefully somehow "take ownership" of the protocol level to at least standardise on one way to do things like virtual keyboard input. You'd think at least Gnome and KDE could have saved both their selves some time by co-operating on these things.

I'll continue with Xorg-based X11 until there's good reason not to. Yes, I know about recent security issues, lack of maintainer-ship, and the shit show that has been the forks/alternatives...

... but my current X11+fvwm3 setup *works for me*.

Aaaaaaaaand I'm back to #xorg 🤓

I was getting frustrated with #darktable being so slow to the point that the mouse cursor would freeze.
I thought the newer versions were becoming too heavy for my old PC to handle.
Then, out of curiosity, I reinstalled xorg and plasma-x11-session and what do you know? Darktable works smooth af.

It's a shame because #wayland was seemingly working well for everything else.
