Still playing around with #OpenBSD on my Desktop PC and to be honest I thought I'd hate it but you know what ? It's actually kind of growing on me. Yes I know I can use #SwayWM with #Wayland but the #Xorg stuff is kind of nostalgically nice, A blast from the past. Also I'm not that worried if I break it as I can just reinstall and start again until I figure it out totally.
What are desktops / terminals and so on are you OpenBSD folk running on your setups ?

Lo siento, #NVIDIA, da igual cuánto te esfuerces, porque ya me has perdido para siempre como cliente, e igual para el resto de fabricantes de gráficas dedicadas.

Si #AMD no cambia los perfiles de sus #APU #Ryzen, mi próximo equipo será una APU Ryzen 7 para así obtener la mejor gráfica integrada. phoronix.com/news/NVIDIA-Ubunt

Odpaliłem pod Linuksem demo gry Foundation (bardzo chillowy city builder, tyle że ze średniowieczną wioską). Działa bardzo fajnie, nawet na moim niezbyt mocnym sprzęcie, ale wyłącznie na Xorg, a pod Wayland co jakiś czas się wykrzacza z graficznymi babolami, zdarzyło się też całkowite zamrożenie.

Szukanie jakiegoś rozwiązania nie jest łatwe, bo internet jest pełny narzekania na działanie wielu rzeczy na kombo Wayland+Nvida. Wygląda na to, że żeby móc sobie pograć, musiałbym przełączać sesje, albo całkiem powrócić do Xorg :(

Szkoda, bo gra jest naprawdę bardzo przyjemna.

Zrzut z gry Foundation. Stylizowana na średniowieczną wioska z polami po lewej i prawej, otoczona lasami.

Sawfish WM: Overview of Customization, Innovation, and Community-Driven Development

Sawfish WM is a highly configurable window manager for the X Window System. It was designed with flexibility in mind, emphasizing minimalism in policy while offering extensive customization through a built‐in Lisp scripting language known as rep.

After using daily sway-wm (#Wayland) for years, I went back i3-wm (#xorg) for about a week, and I miss Wayland so much. For example on Firefox the scroll is so rough (even scrolling just the tab bar is awful!), while on sway was silk smooth.

In case you are wondering, I am back to i3-wm because of #KiCAD, that officially does not support Wayland, and I can confirm it has several nasty problems.

Yeah, yeah, #Xorg old, unmaintainable, whatever. It's still my only choice for desktop.

What surprises me, though, is how some distros can keep it running super smooth, while others seem to have this problem at every few updates or so (it gets fixed, just to break again a few weeks later).

I guess this is smell of its unmaintainability - you fix something, but break another in the process. :S

#wayland released in June 2008. Debian 12 (bookworm) has been released in June 2023. After 14 years it is still not able to properly see and activate a secondary display attached on HDMI on fly (among other silly issues).

Of course, no such problems with #xorg

How to move forward to return back, a quite common pattern in IT.

wtf is up with Flathub calling X11 "legacy windowing system" and marking apps with X11 support as "unsafe".

I know GNOME likes role-playing as the sole owners of the Linux ecosystem, but it's not a good look to push their opinions on an otherwise neutral marketplace.

Wayland: The Modern Display Server Protocol for UNIX-like Systems

Wayland represents a significant evolution in the way graphical systems are built for UNIX-like operating systems. It was conceived as a response to the longstanding complexity of the X Window System, aiming to create a simpler, more efficient, and secure mechanism for managing display output and user input.
