  • The reality is that, although there are quite a few standalone Wayland compositors, you don’t hear about most of them, because almost all of them suck in one way or another if you go beyond opening terminals.

    For standalone desktops, Hyprland is undeniably your best base at the moment to write a window manager.

    If you don’t believe it, see some amazing WM plugins for Hyprland on Github,

    Your favorite tiling WM doesn’t have a Wayland port? Pick up the initiative yourself and write a Hyprland plugin that makes it behave like your WM of choice.

    Said the person who maintains Hyprland. This post reads like an ad for his own project.

    Isn’t this the toxic dev, who dislikes any other Wayland Compositors? This guy is also banned from contributing to Freedesktop here and here. And here is a post from Drew Hyprland is a toxic community.

    I’m not surprised about this blog post. I argue we need more compositors. More means, more to choose from and being less reliant on the few that are available right now. What if someone does not like Hyprland in example or any of the current available compositors? Having more to choose from is a good thing, not bad. I’m so thankful that Hyprland is not the only one we have. One example is the programming language that the project is written in. Why does it matter? Maybe because people want to contribute or understand the code or want to make changes. In example Qtile is written in Python and its configuration language is in Python too.

  • When did you try GIMP last time? For me, it opens up almost instantly (~1 second) on my modern PC with Linux. And I am still on version 2.10. In the past (few years ago) a major slowdown on start was because of too many fonts or a corrupted font cache. Nowadays GIMP loads fonts in a different way, and starts fast regardless of how many you have.

    There might be another reason why the startup was slow for you. But usually it should not be, unless your CPU is old and if you do not use SSDs. My recommendation is to try it out again and then troubleshoot with the community to find out whats slowing it down.





  • This would complicate the code behind Inkscape and the user interface a lot. It’s not just having an option to enable raster editing, the entire program must be rewritten, because its not designed to do raster editing. If they started with raster editing, it would be lacking too and the horrors from users would never end. I rather want Inkscape stay focused to what its doing best.

    Either use GIMP or Krita. There are already excellent or good enough image editing tools.


  • I assume its not possible, otherwise anyone would have done that already. From what I read through online research, it looks like Xbox Cloud is using an API for Cloud streaming by Google. And only Chromium based browser have this implemented and Firefox does not support it. If this is correct, then there is nothing you can do about it. People try to make Xbox Cloud work with Firefox for a long time now, without success.

    Not this streaming is not just showing video files like YouTube. Game streaming involves gamepad (or other input) in realtime to coordinate with the server. Therefore the browser has to support these functionalities.










    • users can be identified
    • probably Opt-out (still in discussion)

    Two nogos combined makes nonogogos. Why do they need host name, MAC address and disk serial numbers? Why can’t people set how much they want to send in, like KDE Plasma does? Will the data be shown to the user before its send in? Steam does that perfectly (show data and its opt-in) and that is even a proprietary application. Telemetry is okay if its done right, without user identification, opt-in and not hiding whats sent, preferably in multiple levels of what is being send.

    I used Manjaro before and switched to EndeavorOS because I was not happy. Now I am. Manjaro can’t stop being stupid (not the users, I’m not attacking any user here, only the maintainers or developers of Manjaro).
