Why are there a bunch of different Wayland “compositors?” Why isn’t there just one good compositor that window systems can sit atop? Same with HID management, there should just be one good HID daemon.
Maybe eventually there’ll be a systemd-compositor and systemd-hid to handle this. Seems like they might be good candidates for Rust, too.
Every time there's a new version of #CopyQ I update it in hopes that it will have started working again now. And the answer is always no. It starts, but does not pick up anything I copy. It's been like this for a long time, across distros. I suspect it's got something to do with #Wayland? But I see Wayland mentioned in the changelog as if it works? Makes me sad, CopyQ is such an incredible tool. Is there anything similarly powerful for #Gnome? #Linux #LinuxApps
@forteller@tutoteket.no Fwiw, #CopyQ works fine for me in #ArchLinux #Plasma #Wayland... so it's hard to believe the problem is just it being incompatible with Wayland per se.

Dear #BSD / #Anti_SystemD peeps,
Please make friends with #Linux-only, #Systemd fans.
#X114EVR peeps, please make friends with #Wayland fans.
The only way the community at large moves forward is to keep conflict within the domain of friendship. That way we can hold our differences, and learn to synthesize the disagreements.
And please, please don't assume that someone is your ally just because they agree with you on one technical point. I don't have a problem with X11 being maintained until the end of time, I just don't want it to be led by someone with really horrible/destructive politics.
It's not #CancelCulture, it's mercy. I'm trying to cancel a destructive ideology; people are never my enemy.

⚙️ Plasma 6.4 review - A worrying trend • Dedoimedo
｢ Overall, Plasma is nice and fast. Version 6.4 ain't no exception. But this version brings numerous ergonomic regressions, forcing you to waste time that you previously didn't need to, it hides important things in the name of who knows what ｣
Found some motivation to revisit my zero dep Wayland compositor I started working on last Summer.
Made a number of performance improvements, and fixed a fair number of layout /interaction issues related to popups/sub-compositing so now firefox interaction is much better.
Also added multi-workspace and a debug console and started to link up logs/tracing into that.
Next steps: more debug console options, more performance work and then custom configuration/key binds/layouts.

Mwm: an X11 window manager in 20 lines of code
Is KDE too much for you? GNOME tries to do too much? Xfce still a bit too fancy? Do you need something smaller? Even more minimalist? What about a mere 20 lines of code which provide the absolute barest possible minimum of window management functionality?
You need mwm.
This is the smallest, actually usable window manager I know about. Ev
