Communist

if you want to know my problems with manjaro, see this discussion: https://lemmy.ml/comment/9214664

It's a super problematic distro made by an insanely incompetent team, I promise you have been lucky, i've given it to many people and spent years using it, it's garbage.

Debian has implemented it. Screenshotting has worked perfectly for years, maybe half a decade at this point.

edit: I just checked, screenshotting has been working since 2015 https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/1

Debian has been using wayland by default on gnome since 2019.

This is an impressive level of confidence for someone who has no idea what they're talking about.

Also, seeing as you're the guy who doesn't even have accessibility problems, that means you have... no problems.

Remind me again, what is so bad about wayland?

Manjaro is truly the worst distro of all time and probably helps give arch a bad name

It's better in just about every way, objectively, I don't really know what you're talking about here.

You have one issue, accessibility, what other flaws do you see with the wayland protocol?

Why do you think it is that none of the people who worked on the X protocol would agree with you that wayland is worse in any way?

What specifically do you think is worse?

Why do you think literally every single desktop project is switching to wayland with no plans of implementing a different protocol, ever?

I feel like your version of reality is completely imaginary.

here's some things that will never be fixable in x.org

1. Recording all of your activity is extremely easy for a malicious program
2. Multiple displays with mixed refresh rates that aren't clean multiples of eachother
3. Color management/hdr
4. Rendering (try resizing something and notice all the garbled nonsense)
5. Proper scaling support

There's more.

I've developed an install alias that automatically configure a wide variety of things really easily for arch, I had a bunch of people use my setup and logged the usage of each different keybind, then sorted them by most used and put those on the strongest fingers

I've spent more than a few hundred hours configuring stuff, you can check it out here if you want:

Does input-leap help?

What doesn't work?

Why not just make a new protocol for what you need, rather than throwing out everything?

Global hotkeys work in kde wayland and hyprland!

Ah, there's your problem, manjaro is pretty much fundamentally broken.

see this discussion: https://lemmy.ml/comment/9214664

It's just a stream of incompetent mistakes with them, if you ever do a reinstall, consider anything else, you'll have a better experience guaranteed.

Global shortcuts and screenshare are supported fully...

also the places where a newsworthy leak would happen do not use x11 and/or carefully vet their software. The average user should not need to do that, it would be bad design to make them

That is NOT classical security thinking AT ALL, and anybody who told you that is lying to you. Classic security thinking says minimize the surface area of attack...

...I'm sorry but your core argument seems to be "it's okay that clients can do literally whatever they want because if you run anything proprietary you should be using windows" and I don't understand this all-or-nothing stance. Do you expect me to vet every line of code that runs on my PC to make sure it's safe? Do you think everyone should do that? Do you think the operating system should be designed so that grandmas are required to read code before they install software?

I'm sorry but this is just so obviously terrible design, I don't know how you think gatekeeping solves anything, and that seems to be all you're doing. Shitty clients shouldn't be able to wreck peoples lives/computers, and we should minimize the amount of damage shitty clients can do. You also seem to believe that everyone is cognizant of the fact that they've been infected with something, in reality, you will go months or even decades without knowing you've been hit in some cases, we should minimize the amount of damage that can cause, not give them full access to everything on the entire pc because you think we should check every piece of software that runs.

There aren't newsworthy breaches involving x.org because it's widely regarded as not to be trusted, and has been for so long that nobody uses it for anything that needs security.

Flatpak is great and has a verification system so you know when the app is by the developer... It's sandboxed so the clients can't do as much damage, this is significantly easier for users to manage and prevents terrible things while not limiting anybodies usecase and allowing apps to be packaged for every distro at once. That's pretty awesome, actually, and you can use different repos if you don't trust flathub, i'm sure once flathub does something bad there will be alternate "more secure" ones.

Either way, I don't want to live in the world where you make the choices for software, it seems like you want a world where everyone needs a license to use their computer.
