Sister communities:


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.

    It will make your screen blacker.

    But it all seriousness, your display manager might not support Wayland. Try something like ssdm.

    I'm using SDDM and it lets me select Wayland as an option just fine, Just my Nvidia card won't load my desktop then.

    I'm going full AMD next time I upgrade but that's gonna be a while away...

    Nothing you can do then. Stay on x11 until nvidia get their shit together.

    They just did now that explicit sync is merged everywhere except wlroots

    It should work with the latest Nvidia driver. It does for me.

    how on earth do I know what DM I'm using? Does it come with the compositor? I just start hyprland from the terminal without adding anything to systemd.

    Oh, lightdm has some trouble sometimes on my other computer, are you saying that I could somehow start i3 without it when it breaks itself?

    You could start it directly from tty with startx https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xinit
