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.

    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.

    Imagine using a so called modern windowing system that doesn't even support custom degree tilted monitors

    Who need fractional scaling when you can make a space useless tilted monitor setup lol

    I can't find the documentation for it, but I swear Hyprland supports custom degree tilting.

    Imagine using a so called modern protocol that leaves you unable to change a WM in a DE

    Who needs xorg bloat when you can make compositor devs reimplement it instead and bloat their own codebase lol

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    There isn't such thing as a WM under Wayland. There are only compositors which make up everything such as the WM, Effects compositor, io etc. To standardize things for smaller compositors things like wlroots exist. Creating a basic compositor using that is around 100 lines of code

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah, and that was my point: Wayland turns DEs into inflexible monoliths. You trade modularity, customisability, and stability for better scaling, high-end monitor support, and theoretical security.

    The theoretical security part is what got me "huh 🤨" as well... like "ok, but all of this is planned... or in the works... or it should work... when does the "it does work" part kick in 🤨".

    That's the thing i don't like about Wayland.

    Considering that there are infinitely scrolling compositors and non-rectangular compositors, I guess tilting a monitor should be a smaller problem.
