Game streaming is fine and dandy but I need clipboard integration in order to use it for real work.

Edit: x11vnc is a miracle of technology that needs to be replicated with wayland.

Same, please let me know if you find out a way to do this.

Yeah, exactly.

Of course a borzoi would smoke spirits.

It’s bad for their kidneys, it’s not like they are going to keel over and die right away, but it’s going to hurt then long term and shorten their life span.

I mean, you wouldn’t let your dog smoke would you?

Saaaaammmmeeeee

I do read it very differently. It’s a funny picture joke based on something that it is totally not happening.

Look, you are entitled to your opinion here and neither of us actually knows what the original creator of this had as their intention, but you are coming at people with a ton of anger and vitriol and I’m trying to explain why you are getting a lot of people being like “What are you talking about?”

I do not see this as a personal attack on the lion whisperer here at all, just a silly joke made from a pretty incredible picture.

I really don’t think anyone intended any scorn here.

It’s just a joke, I don’t think there is a single person who recognizes that guy who doesn’t think he’s cool as hell with his lion friends.

If he didn’t want to be eaten he shouldn’t have been wearing that hotdog costume.

I agree with everyone here, if you want learn stuff than LFS is amazing, I encourage everyone to go through it at least once. But it’s not a daily driver, if you want a daily driver stick go with Gentoo or stick with Arch.

C’est bien!

Check out reticulum as well.

You need to actually explain your position and provide context because no one knows what you are talking about.

Yeah, you are right. Just a massive pain to deal with as things continue to diverge and I’m forced to deal with maintaining more and more custom solutions just to maintain functionality.

I want wayland to get there, just not seeing it yet.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll check out deskflow!

Yup.

X11 forwarding which I use extensively - I realize there’s waypipe which is supposed to allow you to do this, but I’ve not had a chance to test this yet as there’s always something else.

Remote desktop woes - Feels like a total crapshoot with this one, on a box I was experimenting with the build in RDP seemed to work ok, but being able to connect to the actual working desktop vs. start up a separate session that isn’t connected to the running desktop doesn’t seem to be a thing. aka, I could use x11vnc to connect to the running desktop or regular VNC to get a separate X session which wasn’t attached to the monitor and didn’t interfere with the desktop. There’s probably a way to get this working but it seems this is all built into KDE or Gnome now instead of being separate functionality. Tell me if there’s something I’m missing here.

Barrier - Keyboard and mouse sharing via network - I use this extensively and the break in compatibility is destructive for me.

OBS window capture - Just had this happen to me, went to update my streaming box and it swapped to wayland with no X11 option anymore, Ubuntu has completely dropped support, not even “you can install it yourself”. So the pipewire window capture is woefully lacking in features, I’m not sure it had the ability for me to crop the captured window at all, which I need to capture a pixel perfect section of the window to line up the control pixels in the stream exactly. But even if that feature was hidden and I was missing it, when it tried to capture the window for the serializer it was utterly munged, smeared and stretched and total trash. Regular OS windows captured ok, but the serializer, which is a unity app, was unusable. A full restore of the out of date OS was required to get things working again.

Yeah, I realize I’m using all the most esoteric features in the world, but that’s what makes X11 so damned functional, yeah it’s crufty and old and has issues, but damn if it doesn’t do all the things.

Edit: I’m sure if you just need it to do normal desktop things it works great.

Edit2: One more thing while everyone is going to be looking at this post, is there a way for me to set the display I want a window to show up on? I don’t mean multiple monitors, I mean like I can be ssh’d into a box and set my display variable to DISPLAY=“:0.0” and anything I run from that session with a GUI will show up on the main desktop display on the monitor, and if I have additional X sessions I can set it to :1.0 or whatever to have the window pop up on that one, does wayland have anything analogous to this where I can control where my windows appear from sessions not attached to the display manager at all?

God dammit, everytime I have to use wayland I find something that I need to use which doesn’t work.

Can we please wait until wayland can actually replace x11 and not pretend just showing a desktop is all it needs to do?

What do you think all those cattle run on?

Just big ass servers with tons of cores and ram.

Pffft, no!

The surveillance is what makes the ads so good! Why wouldn’t you want that?
