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...

wer2,

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

  1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn’t have Wayland yet
  2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn’t work
  3. I don’t change my setups that much, so I haven’t tried it since
  4. I don’t need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
  5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

wer2,

I totally expect one day a XFCE (Wayland) option will show up, I will click it, forget I did, and use it forever more.

To follow on to this, the “best” build may not be the best for you and how you play. Try out various things to see what feels right to you. Sword and board, magic, gish, dual wield, big two hander, bigger two hander, etc. All of them are viable to beat the game, so find the one you like the most/is easiest for you.

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned, so I’m keeping windows for it specifically.) this’ll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues...

wer2,

Slackware was my first real distro (many moons ago), glad to see people still enjoy it.

Similarly, I like to toy around with tiling window managers, but then someone less technical needs to use the computer, so back to XFCE we go.

wer2,

Controls felt a little janky to me, but I loved the game. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a shorter Metroidvania experience, especially if the art style is appealing to you.

A percentage scales within an establishment, but not really across them.

wer2,

Probably because of what happened to CentOS. Who owns the Fedora trademark? How independent is Fedora really?

I am not saying anyone should avoid Fedora, I can just understand why someone would.

wer2,

For real, this is why I enable format on save.

wer2,

To be fair, some of these look very different in non-C-like languages (e.g. Lisp/Haskell).

wer2,

Yes, and play Malkavian.
