You should, I think. You don't have Nvidia GPU, so you can avoid almost bugs and get better performance.

Advantages:

  1. Better performance. e.g. for Firefox, @lilydjwg got double performance in wayland.
  2. Better multi-screen with multi-DPI support.
  3. Better maintaince. Many DE has put more and more to wayland. And many new features will only be implemented in wayland. (That's because implementing many new features will be difficult or even impossible in X11 old software architecture, as KWin developers said.)

Disadvantages:

  1. Some missing feature, such as remote desktop.
  2. Many bugs when you use Nvidia GPU.
  3. None of the compositors except KWin and Hyprland can use input methods with electron.

I don't know which DE/WM you use. If you use Plasma/GNOME, migration is simple, just switch in SDDM/GDM. If you use i3, you can try sway, it's compatible with i3 config. If you use others, you can try hyprland or wayfire. Wayfire has fantastic animations.

I switch to wayland because I buy a new screen with different DPI... But when I switched, I found I got better performance and video hardware acceleration in Firefox (this feature was introduced to Firefox Wayland first).

In anicent China, the writer and statesman Su Xun (蘇洵,苏洵) wrote a article named “On the Six Fallen States” (六國論, 六国论) about why the six states (韓、趙、魏、楚、燕、齊) were conquered by Qin (秦) during the Warring States period (戰國時代,战国时期)? The following is an excerpt from the relevant paragraph.

今日割五城,明日割十城,然后得一夕安寝。
One day five cities could be ceded, and on the next day, another ten cities could be surrendered just so that a certain person would have a single night of good sleep.
起视四境,而秦兵又至矣。
But in waking up and looking around, Qin troops again were approaching.
然则诸侯之地有限,暴秦之欲无厌,奉之弥繁,侵之愈急。
However, there was a limit to the available land of the lords and callous Qin’s avarice could never be satiated. The more there were giveaways, the more earnest Qin’s aggression would become.
故不战而强弱胜负已判矣。
So, even before going into battle, the odds-on-favorite and the most likely victor had already been decided.
至于颠覆,理固宜然。
As to the ultimate toppling, that was a forgone conclusion.
古人云:“以地事秦,犹抱薪救火,薪不尽,火不灭。”
Ancient people said: “Using land to serve Qin State would be like carrying firewood to put out fire. As long as there’s firewood left, the fire would not be extinguished.”

In ancient, the six states use land to serve Qin state; in modern, the people use money to serve the companies provide subscription. The more people who pay for a subscription, the more power they have over price increases and control over your data.

zsh, because of highly customizable.

In my opinion, that's because X11 lacks proper abstract for many things like screenshot, screencast, color managerment and etc, so the applications have to use many X11 implementation details to implement these features. It leads to high-coupling code with X11 so move their code to wayland and ensuring it works correctly and is consistent with the old behavior is difficult.

I just use ls, cd, tree and tab completion. Sometimes I will use rg to find files which contains specified string, and use locate to find files which I known name but path.

It may be related to Nvidia. Most bugs I met in Wayland is related to it. Such as no dmabuf export support, and vulkan init will fail because a bug in nvidia prime implementation...
As Linus said, so Nvidia, fuck you...

In fact, sadly, DNT can be used to track user because only few users enable it.

The problem is not caused by mono kernel. Just because AMDGPU driver was developed in mono style. i.e. they include the code of all generations in one driver. In monolithic kernel, the developer can develop drivers with "micro" style. e.g. Intel's GPU driver doesn't use mono style, they created a new driver when they changed GPU hardware architecture.

Monolithic kernel is a concept about address space. If all parts of a kernel are running in the same address space, this is a monolithic kernel, otherwise it's a micro kernel.

This problem is about how to split parts, but not how to place parts in memory.

I want an open source mouse with electromagnetic resistance wheel like one in Logitech MX Master 3S.

VP9 for video and FLAC for audio. Avoid AV1 because my GPU can't decode AV1.

When I see the title, I initially thought you are talking about 10BASE5 and 10BASE2 (old Coaxial Ethernet)... I just know about DOCSIS technology, but I have never used it. In my hometown, most people switched directly from ADSL to FTTH.

Hope this Pull Request could be merged soon so I can use it with new Bitwarden native Android client.

https://github.com/...

Coelacanthus 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Bitwarden developed a new android client written by Kotlin to replace old C# client. This new client is in beta testing currently. The old client supports both PascalCase and camelCase but the new client only supports camelCase. And Vaultwarden use PascalCase now, so it's incompatible with new Android client.

So their video player should be named "Nits".

OpenGL 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 in 2023? It's so terrible!

Coelacanthus 4 points 3 years ago

Oh, my bad. But OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 is also not suitable to 2023. Hope the developers can make driver support Vulkan 1.3.

EDIT: I figured out that for whatever reason, the Flathub version just doesn't function properly. When I install the tarball from Yubico's website, the executable DOES work right,

It looks like because the sandbox of Flatpak prevent the program access the unix domain socket of pcscd.

but I can't seem to figure out how to make the .desktop file install into the programs list.

There is a document on Arch Wiki.
