or are we dancer?

Unfortunately not true. When I look at how many people have been voting on the right recently. For example among AfD voters in Germany (which got 30% in some areas), Trump is still very popular. The cancer is rampant here too.

Linux has helped me rediscover my love for computers. And the many small and larger hobby projects I can now embark on because of it do in fact help with my mental health.

A secret service that protects its own people instead of taking every opportunity to spy on them. remarkable.

Couple of years back i stumbled over this video, which i as a german think is absolutely fucked up: https://youtu.be/DjX7zoFrd7g?si=6BtMIxqTxtdAYHvi

Quote from the Wiki about the “Young Marines”

The creed that every Young Marine lives by is:

• Obey my parents and all others in charge of me whether young or old.
• Keep myself neat at all times without other people telling me to.
• Keep myself clean in mind by attending the church of my faith.
• Keep my mind alert to learn in school, at home, or at play.
• Remember that having self-discipline will enable me to control my body and mind in case of an emergency.

Its absolute insane what they do to this kids: https://www.instagram.com/means_tv/reel/C7T93trOtg3/

I just want to add that the HAARP conspiracy theories are way older. i read about it mid of the 90s. Already back then it was a weather control machine / earthquake generator / mind control device / magnetic pole flipper.

everyone who donated $1,000 or more, we give an original piece of a downed russian strike aviation

made in russia and recyled in Ukraine

I fucking love those guys

It really does feel like a lot sometimes with the updates. I’m also thinking about looking for something that is also quite close to the edge / rolling but maybe a bit slower.

I was on Manjaro before for a couple of years. They clone the arch repos but then hold back the updates usually a week or so for testing. And it feels in general a bit more “stable” in that concern. But unfortunately over the years i noticed some problems with it like holding back important security updates for way too long for my taste or rewrites of some arch-tools which then not worked in a expected way.

And Endeavour felt right from the first second on noticeable more mature and professional with settings and tools that made sense.

The one big distro family i never looked into is Fedora. As far i see they have some kind of semi-rolling release which could fit the bill quite nicely. Major releases which then kept fairly up-to-date but not so fast and overwhelming as with Arch.

Maybe i will check it out. But yeah, i would probably miss the AUR. It is just so damn convenient.

they added some nice tools though. e.g. their pacdiff & meld tool eos-pacdiff is pretty nice. then there is a kernel manager and a pretty clever update-script / wrapper around pacman and yay (eos-update). saying it is just Arch + GUI is selling it a bit short imho.

One can like multiple distros. e.g. i run Debian on my media center because i have no need for bleeding edge software and want just a stable system that changes as rarely as possible and only receives security patches. Its a perfect OS for shit that just needs to be setup once and then runs in that configuration forever.

If you try that with e.g. Arch, it is very possible that after a week you have suddenly a different theme installed for your frontend and your plugins stopped working.

For my webservers i tend more to ubuntu because of newer packages as Debian but being still relative stable in terms of versions. (but looking into others. i’m just an lazy fuck right now)

And on my desktop system i run EndeavourOS (Arch) because i like to have the newest shit for gaming and i like some of the design decisions the dev made like the early merge of /bin.

And on some of my ancient android phones i got Alpine to run very nicely in a chroot. Primarily because it is very very lightweight / compact and uses OpenRC as init system because Systemd gets very pissy when its not running as PID 1 / detecting it is in a chroot and then refuses to start services (there are hackarounds, but why bother?)

And then there is of course things like Raspian, etc.

Use the right tool for the job.

Out of curiosity, how long does he need? If he manages to do that in an hour or max of 2, then this is not bad at all.

I don’t see how this is a Wayland problem. X11 has no desktop automation integrated either. You had to use third party tools for that like Autokey. And admittedly, there is still no comparable replacement for Wayland as far i know (maybe KDE scripts? https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/kwin/api/ or https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool ?). But that is because nobody has fully build one yet, not because some inherent absence of necessary wayland functions.

mtp has nothing to do with the display server. X11 has no mtp function either. its completely independent from that.

and i can only talk about KDE, but it has a own solution integrated which then mounts android folder in its file explorer (dolphin) while unfortunately blocking mtp over CLI at the same time. you get an “likely in use by GVFS or KDE MTP device handling already” error then.

It is possible of course that this is a thing that happens only under KDE wayland, but not because it is wayland itself but because the wayland version of KDE is maybe newer or was configured differntly by the devs.

that said, if it does not work as expected, report it as bug. usually things are fixed very quickly.

mtp as in media transfer protocol? i fail to see what this has to do with the display server. and what do you mean with web transparency? never heard that term and google does not give any infos. If you mean something like network transparency, wayland can do that with e.g. waypipe (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mstoeckl/waypipe). but not tested myself tbh.

I play games all the time. Actually that is what i do the most lately. Either via Lutris or Steam. Sometime with Gamescope (for HDR) or just normal. I had not even one single problem. Including older programs, emulators, etc.

And yeah, this is a full AMD system, so quite possible that this makes the difference. But as far i read, nVidia gets better constantly too.

I love wayland. I’m 100% on it since the KDE 6.0 Beta end of 2023. Back then i wanted to try the HDR of my new monitor. I can’t remember the last time I had a problem of any kind or thought “That worked under X”.

Multi-Monitor setup with different resolutions and refresh-rates. wayland does not care. it just works. And this is to a big part a gaming machine btw.

what desktop environment? what you described works perfectly on KDE. i have 3 monitors here and they work flawless in any arbitrary combination or orientation under wayland. side-by-side or on top of each other or even diagonal. with different resolutions and different refresh rates. with taskbars on any number of monitors and any orientation. maybe Debians KDE version is just very outdated. the 6+ versions work fantastic.
