How much I have understanding for #linux needs for #xserver replacement with #wayland it is far away from being done and I feel sometimes it is step back to 90s in terms of functionality. To get it working in headless container setup with vnc is more like engineering feast than easy job done. Not mentioning we don’t have alternative for #xrdp. How much someone might hate Microsoft, RDP protocol is superior to anything else. With this we have ditched in wayland setups, sound, remote printers, local drives, etc. I just want to cry 😢

Said goodbye to #XMonad today on my development machine. It's been a good run, but #Wayland is coming to replace #XServer and it doesn't look like XMonad is coming to the other side.

So far feeling fairly okay with #Niri, though of course the beginning is always stumbly and I've yet to drive it in an actual workflow. And many of the keybinding defaults are some flavour of disaster in my locale, but that's a given with a lot of tech. Little bit at a time, this will become more usable. Especially after I also finally ditch the big tech OS on my daily driver later this week. This whole smaller migration was a preliminary task for that.

@lfa Hell yeah! :1000:

The more I read about #Xserver configuration and corresponding programs (like xrandr) then more I have QUESTIONS about common rumors: "X can't do this", "X can't do that", "X is obsolete", etc, etc…

Damn, #TIL that configure my GUI to work with 2K display is very simple [1] — just specify the dimensions of display's active area in the X server configuration and restart X server!

That all, the letters on the screen become visible without tricky GTK/Qt specific environment variables :dragnhappy:

@BrodieOnLinux UPD Despite my prev toot, I still don't see any pros on switch to Wayland:

- Screen tearing? I've used different videocards since 2005 — ATI, NVidia, Intel — and never met this problem

- 4K displays and DPI? Lol, I'm living in Russia! 4K gaming monitors is for rich. BTW, when I connect my laptop to various displsys and projectors, xrandr --dpi and --scale always rescue

- Gaming? I use Windows to play Deep Rock Galactic for few years. Dunno play any other games🤷‍♂️

#X11 #Xserver

@vermaden@bsdcafe Nice one!

The X11 logo is such a beauty. I'm looking at the Wayland logo, and it's just a joke.

Visually, it's grungy and dirty with hand-drawn paint drops all around. It tells the reader: "I'm energetic, chaotic, and outside the rules."

Besides, the contrast is not very good.

At one point, I played with an alternative version.

I think we should embrace the X server's history and keep it with improved Wayland logo because the current one is just bad.

Another change proposal was submitted to the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) for approval[1]:

Replace the #Xorg #Xserver with the X11Libre Xserver for #Fedora 43-

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/3RJJZBMLIQKYVUFV6URL3634CNDILSLF/

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/X11Libre

Will be interesting to see how FESCo will react to it, but I'd be willing to bet that it will be rejected. And I'd assume that the change will be resubmitted in later cycles.

[1] reminder, anyone can submit such change proposals!
