GNOME 47 Can Now Be Built With X11 Support Disabled (www.phoronix.com)

For those wanting to build a Wayland-only Linux desktop experience without carrying any aging X11 baggage, GNOME 47 will be able to optionally offer Wayland-only support without carrying X11/X.Org support. This Mutter merge request landed today that allows compiling Mutter with X11 support disabled. That landed today along with...

e8d79,

How is it relying on XWayland? I don’t know of any KDE Plasma components that require X11. The apps you install might need XWayland but that is separate from the Plasma desktop.

e8d79,

What is your threat model? If you don’t want to give any data to these companies you simply can’t interact with them at all. Where do you draw the line? Once you have figured that out you can come up with a plan.

One thing you probably should always do is separating your business devices from your personal devices. Then create the accounts you need for your business and only use them with your work laptop or phone. If you want, you can invent a sockpuppet persona that acts as your social media manager. This should insulate your personal life from most tracking as long as you don’t use your work laptop for things unrelated to work. I wouldn’t fuss around too much with privacy preserving apps for a business accounts outside of ad-blocking and regularly cleaning up cookies.

e8d79,

Editorializing the title and putting nothing but polemics into the description paints you in a worse light than it does the systemd devs.

e8d79,

Nostr is made by a nazi cunt.

e8d79,

I would prefer purple.

e8d79,

In case you haven’t tried that yet, maybe you could run it in a systemd enabled distrobox container.

e8d79,

Have you tried plaintextaccounting? I am using hledger, it works very well for me.

This is a very old feature request for KDE. It has not been implemented in almost 20 years so its probably very hard to do with kwin. Neal Gompa thinks this wayland protocol could make it possible in future, but with the current speed wayland protocols are accepted, this could take another 20 years.

e8d79,

I really don’t care about the command I use to get elevated privileges. On my Debian servers I use su and maybe in future, if Fedora decides to make the switch, I will use run0.

e8d79,

How do your Python problems relate to a sudo/run0 discussion?

e8d79,

Sounds like you never upgraded from Fedora 38. Have you tried a manual upgrade using the commandline? Here are the instructions.

e8d79,

Or he is trying to get ahead of some news. Maybe a journalist contacted him about some serious allegations. So now he joins up with Musk, comes out against the ‘woke agenda’ and when the news releases, he can claim its main stream media silencing him.

Now contrast this with how the COSMIC devs interact with KDE.I don’t know. Is being a massive cunt a requirement if you want to be a GNOME developer?

If the cosmic devs start to behave like the gnome devs, that hate is well deserved. Also, if gnome just abused their own users nobody outside of their userbase would care. Breaking something and then expecting everybody else to clean up the mess is what people hate about gnome. It is a pitty because it sullies the name of gnome as a whole. There are a lot of people doing great work at gnome that now get lumped in with these sad excuses for software developers. For example, I think the gnome UX on a small form factor laptop is unrivaled. My surface tablet never worked better; but I still don’t recommend it to anyone else because I know who the devs are and how they conduct themselves.

e8d79,

I love to see the progress Fedora Atomic Desktops is making. I switched to Fedora Kinoite from Windows and it has been the most stable Linux experience I have ever had. Updating to Fedora 40 was as easy as checking out another git branch. When I installed Linux I wasn’t expecting to stay with it for very long because I had some bad experiences with it in the past. As of now, I haven’t had the need to boot into Windows since switching to Fedora five months ago.

e8d79,

For streaming there is Wayland to X11 bridge. I have been using it regularly with MS Teams and it works great.

e8d79,

I am using Wayland and the only issue that is a bit annoying is that I can’t use fractional scaling because it breaks FreeRDP clients. Both Remmina and FreeRDP have issues when scaling is active. For now I just increased the font size in KDE its not perfect but good enough until this is hopefully fixed.
