You are correct but don’t forget that somebody’s swing app broke and they’re real salty about it.
Also I can’t speak for whatever you’re worried about but when I moved to Wayland the only thing that broke was java shit like Matlab and those closed software companies are not going to fix their shit for Wayland unless they have to. Oracle certainly isn’t going to do shit unless forced. It’s not open source anything holding anything back.
Can we just let X11 die with some dignity? I don’t know who this guy on the video is? Is he important? My impression is he seems like a generic popcorn feeder.
Go fork X11 or whatever, nobody is stopping you! Feel free to try and solve the puzzle of making X11 not suck while subject to the constraints of having to satisfy specifically those users who will not allow you to make any changes that inconvenience their rickety 40yo software that nobody cares enough to update to fix whatever is keeping it from running in Wayland (pro tip we’re not talking about open source software here, the things that break are closed source blobs). It’s well worth the effort rather than spinning up a container or kvm to run that proprietary binary.
I recently started using TriliumNext (Trilium’s active fork) as a personal knowledge base for work and it’s really cool.
One thing I didn’t expect is the multi-user editing feature means I can leave it open on multiple computers (and open it on others) and all the open copies are updated in real time (and it opens to exactly where I had been) so I don’t have to think much about merging edits or saving work before changing locations. I was very pleasantly surprised by that.
My job has me jumping around computers a lot with various amounts of downtime in different locations and I want to continue at home etc. Being able to just browse to my server and be exactly where I was in Trilium is perfect.
I was basically looking for how to run LogSeq entirely remotely as a PKM (without touching work computers). You can self host LogSeq but it still runs locally so you have to sync each time and other issues. Trilium is what works best for me.
Another interesting option I came across is silverbullet.md
I am a very, very long time Firefox user. Brave probably has a case for getting Chrome users to consider switching, but I’ve never encountered any compelling reason to consider switching from Firefox to Brave.
Generally the logic is that once the fetus has reached viability (i.e. capable of being removed and continuing life without the mother), then acts that result in death of the fetus are no longer necessary nor morally valid. It is reasonable to expect the fetus to be removed from the mother and provided life support at that stage.
The two women told detective Ben McBride of the Norfolk, Nebraska Police Division that they’d discussed the matter on Facebook Messenger
… why would they do that?
Things have changed in the last year or so. This is about the next releases of distros, nobody’s going to go back and retrospectively remove X11 and Xwayland will continue to exist when needed.
All the hubbub is because Gnome recently decided to drop support for launching X11 sessions from the login manager. Gnome’s login manager is Wayland based and Wayland handles handing off graphics to different users properly. With X11 you have to have ugly things like killing the login X server and then spawning a new X server as the new user among other things is ugly and unfixable without serious security issues.
Wayland wasn’t stuck with design decisions that made sense almost 50 years ago in the '80s and does things far more sanely and with less complex code.
Anyway at some point someone has to pull the plug and Gnome has done that. Many distros are built on Gnome so that’s that.
