From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you? (lemmy.ml)

I've been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).

I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn't go nuts either.

Made me think maybe people aren't actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

Hey, sorry for the late reply.

I remember installing xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland instead of xdg-desktop-portal, and in my hyprland config I have:

exec-once = dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
exec-once = systemctl --user import-environment WAYLAND_DISPLAY XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

I can't remember everything I tried... I didn't keep track. I've been using this setup for close to 3 years now...

I know that for Ferdium I used the extra params --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform, but I think it doesn't need them anymore (I use it for Teams and other chat apps with screensharing).

For Discord I use Webcord, which works just fine, also with screen sharing, I didn't have to do anything.

When it comes to key bindings, here's my working setup:

# binds
$mainMod  = SUPER

bind = $mainMod,       Q, killactive,
