You want me to track the progress of 4 bugs in Sway? Such a powerful argument.

4 bugs discovered in less than 48 hours of use.

How about don’t use Sway?

I don't, I'm on i3wm as result.

For tiler lovers, Niri and Hyprland are both great.

Tried hyprland as well, it is useless.

Hyprland is such a meme, that the config file doesn't allow chaining multiple actions to a single keybind, you have to instead repeat the same keybind several times in the config lmao.

Also in hyprland you cannot move a floating window between displays using the move left and right commands, this is because the action does not move the window in that direction but rather to the left or right side of the display, meaning the window gets stuck at the border between the two displays and does not move anymore 😹

Also this whole disaster that I was a victim of, the documentation was insanely outdated and someone had to repeat the dev about the issue: https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprland-wiki/issues/242

Even more hilarious. Looks like you found an even crappier Wayland compositor than Sway.

It works lol

My issue is not if an app works on X11 or wayland, but the terrible implementations that wayland that lack even the most basic features.

My point is that everybody else is happy leaving you behind

And once again doesn’t remove the fact that wayland still sucks 😆

I have had corrupt filesystem errors with BTRFS on both of my computers due to power outages and one hard shutdown (had to)

When did this happen? what error did you get?

Btrfs will explicitly go read only when it detects corruption, which is a good thing, with EXT4 you don't know what is going on until it is too late.

fwiw the only time I managed to get info from an user that had "issues" with btrfs, I discovered that what had happened is that they moved the partition that had snapshots, and if you don't know it, this is catastrophic because this unlinks all the snapshots and suddenly everything would take many times more storage.

Used ext4 for YEARS (I am old) and never had these issues with such frequency

The short time I've used EXT4 running into bad superblock errors was something that happened almost every week, but in the end I was always able to repair the disk and recover everything.

I'm from Venezuela, power failures are common here.

isnt it the same with arch?

I once to helped troubleshoot an EndeavourrOS user.

during the process I discovered that their kernel parameters were being reset with every kernel update, this was because Endeavour was using dracut instead of mkinitcpio...

especially if you ever do a hard-shutdown, prone to power-outages, etc. It will scramble your system files.

Btrfs is made precisely so that a power outages don't do that! and you don't end up like ext4 with bad superblock nonsense.

Been using Btrfs for over 3 years at this point, 0 issues and over 400 unsafe shutdowns: https://imgur.com/a/AKXFdKb

In fact it was able to detect when my previous ssd was dying, I thought Btrfs was spewing nonsense until the next day when smartctl began to report issues as well lol.

Wayland support for multi-monitor configurations is better than X1

Alright, how do I merge the 3 displays that I have as one then?

Whatever performance degradation you claim to experience is also a “you” thing

It is one of the reasons why Eden disabled wayland by default but sure thing, just a me thing 😆

There’s an underlying issue with your setup.

Yeah, it is called sway.

I don't even use a login manager, directly login from tty and just launch each respective game, sway is able to use my i3 config directly, the only change in this setup is the window manager.

Also note, this performance issue is not present in BeamNG, it only happens with Eden, citron, etc (all yuzu forks).

Wayland does seem to work well with Intel graphics, at least.

heh https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/13319

tbf this is not fault of wayland but gnome deciding to make GTK4 use vulkan by default on wayland.

A lot of the new modern users are into gamin

I can't use wayland for gaming because I do multi-monitor gaming, and something that was a very simple xrandr --setmonitor is impossible in wayland...

I 100% have seen performance increases and stability increases after switching to Wayland with regards to gaming workloads.

All I have seen so far is that I get half the fps I get on citron/eden on sway vs i3wm.

They are also fed up with the wayland bugs and decided to force xcb everywhere, one of the bugs is that the app just crashes on wayland gnome, it does not happen plasma, or sway, or any other place, just gnome.

.mozilla : “Oh but I AM special”

You would think that thunderbird would use ~/.mozilla as well but nope. It is ~/.thunderbird 🤣

Check my dotfiles https://github.com/Samueru-sama/dotfiles

0 hidden files, everything is in ~/Local.

Recently added this hack for ssh: https://github.com/Samueru-sama/dotfiles/commit/7e1f8bd3173da563731aea6db9efbf26a2b23e72

but Flatpak is good when you need sandboxes

flatpak sandbox is actually bad for web-browsers and electron apps:

appimage hasn't depended on libfuse2 (or any libfuse) since the static runtime came out in 2022.

The issue is that some projects haven't updated to it, most notably electron builder:

https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/8686

never integrate well on the system, and run unsandboxed.

You have sandboxing and perfect integration, including adding the binary to PATH.
