That’s bizarre, i have no such issues on hyprland or sway.

what DE are you using? Are they running in native wayland mode?

Discord

use this it’s better in every way.

Ah yeah, i’m actually drew devault, i have an extensive history on lemmy where i’ve been secretly posting by none of my usual account names since 2019

you actually strike me as mentally ill, so, i won’t punch down.

Oh wow, did you actually read the report?? Saintly… you have convinced me you are the mentally ill one

now that this is implemented it should just work, as far as i’m aware.

what they really need to work on is single window capture and global keyboard shortcuts… crazy that it still doesn’t have them, they’re literally the only missing features before sway is feature complete and they’ve been missing for AGES.

People who are brand new to linux should start with immutable kde based distros, you’ll have a much better time with fedora kinoite.

I’m down to help support infinitely, my matrix is available on my profile, feel free to message with any troubleshooting needs.

…that link did not convince me that he is a mentally ill creep at all?

Is there a part you actually care about in particular?

they go away so fast i can’t even read them, so, they serve no purpose to me.

Yes, the short version is that immutability means that the filesystem (except for your home folder) is read-only and updated all at once.

This makes it so that updates never break the machine, and you can roll back to previous versions of the machine all at once, seamlessly.

For new people I always recommend fedora kinoite, but if you’re highly experienced, immutability provides little value as you can always just chroot and unbreak the system yourself.

They don’t.

people who are new should be using immutable distros exclusively unless they’re looking at this as a major project where they learn everything about it, IMHO

i’ve been helping people switch for a long time, all the dumbest things that have happened to people have been stopped by immutability.

mine is in here somewhere ctrl f for it

Hyprland > /dev/null

I use posy but I’m watching this issue like a hawk before I recommend it https://github.com/simtrami/posy-improved-cursor-linux/issues/13

You’re right, my bad, I misremembered!

Manjaro

I highly recommend avoiding manjaro like the plague, their team is incredibly incompetent (see: https://manjarno.pages.dev/ ), I say this as someone who has given people manjaro for years and regretted it, I was also their it person, manjaro regularly broke every few months and gave people a very bad taste of linux

for example, why are kernels given version numbers in packages? This caused 3 separate peoples computers to break multiple times. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch, everything bad about manjaro comes from the manjaro team.

Y’know how it’s not rolling release because they delay packages by 2 weeks? They actually do no testing in this time. How do I know this? They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips… this is something that should have easily been caught, and yet the two week window did absolutely nothing.

the truth is for manjaro there is no real usecase, there’s no set of desires that align with manjaro being the best choice for you. I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.

But if what you’re looking for is an easy pre-setup arch, use endeavoros

If you want something simple and up to date, use fedora kinoite

If you’re a power user and want to configure every little thing about their system, use arch or nixos

If you don’t care at all about updates and want the most rock solid system possible, debian.

I literally said

I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.

in my post

Pray your luck continues, backup regularly, when it inevitably fails switch to something immutable so you never have to worry about such things again.

A remarkable paper has just come out on this topic.

I’d also like to ask how you feel about this paper:
