Question: what are y'all using as secret service on #Linux? (With #Wayland and #sway, if that matters.)

I did not like #GNOME #Keyring, because that pulled in tons of stuff I didn't want.

I'm currently using #KeePassXC, but let's just say it's a much better password manager than a Secret Service. (e.g., it can't remember authorized binaries over a session, and handling multiple databases isn't great.)

Ideally, I want something that does only this, but does it well.

Can I start using Wayland in 2026?

@zekjur I would be very much interested in your perspective on this. I just did the switch from #i3 to #sway in the recent days. For me the issue of sharing selected windows was also one the reasons to wait, but meanwhile I have decided to switch even without this working properly (at least with the current default nix packages) hoping this will be resolved soon. (PS: thank you so much for developing i3. I was using it until now for several years as wm. Great piece of software.)

full marks to Sway – they get as close to a drop-in replacement for i3 as possible. I expected lots of config changes, but the only things I had to touch were things they can't change (have to set up some input and output config, changed startup etc).

super impressive and rare to see something live up to the drop-in replacement claim, very cool

J’ai des soucis avec mon laptop depuis quelques jours / semaines. Je n’arrive plus à envoyer le contenu de mon écran sur un écran externe.
Jusqu’à maintenant, j’utilisais #wl-mirror ( #wl-presenter), mais là ça me sors une erreur :
$ wl-mirror auto [14:13:25]
Couldn't open plugin directory: No such file or directory
No plugins found, falling back on no decorations
error: wayland::init(): surface not configured

Est-ce que quelqu’un peut m’aider ?
Je suis avec #sway sur #Debian .

This past weekend I operated in a #hamradio #contest, with #FreeBSD and #sway on the logging computer, with help from #tlf, #cwdaemon, and #hamlib for actually interacting with the radio.

It worked better than the antenna, and the antenna worked pretty well.

It's a #niche within a #niche within a #niche but it makes me #grateful for #opensource.

@hexaheximal oooo! Interesting... I've been fighting #Sway with #NVIDIA for half my damn week so maybe this is a better place to be placing my focus... idk if I am willing to give up tiling in favour of scrolling though, but I guess I won't know til I try!
