I’ve found that depending on what distro/OS it is certain methods of burning the ISO don’t work correctly, no clue why. Windows needs their official tool, so because of that i use a vm to burn it. I’ve also had linux distros that couldn’t boot when dropping it onto a ventoy drive, and would only work when directly burning it with dd, so it might have something to do with what ISO you’re trying to burn and how you’re burning it.

I’m using Guix system so it’s not really relevant to me right now, but since you mentioned you’ve used it on foreign distros, how does Guix handle programs that need graphics drivers? When using Nix on foreign distros, the graphics drivers are handled in a weird way where you either have to use a wrapper like NixGL, or, what i do right now, is create the driver packages manually and symlink them to /run, which is how NixOS does it. Do you need to do anything special on the Guix side of things? I noticed that Guix system does not have its drivers in /run, so they must be doing it differently.

Idk, you’ll have to ask the xlibre dev lol

I’m assuming those 5 other games are too heavy to be considered “running” on it? Cause if we’re talking purely about software being able to run on the OS then i don’t understand how windows games would not be playable on windows.

Mainly their readme being fully magat-pilled, talking about DEI and whatnot. They also waste time on things like renaming functions to own the libs. It’s not a project that i put any trust into and i’d rather use plain X11 if i had to go back.

The X11 developers

It’s not a fork though?

Multi-monitor issues surprises me, considering multi-monitor support is kind of a sellingpoint for wayland. I don’t think animations being incorrect has anything to do with wayland itself though, it’s up to the individual compositors to handle that.

There’s ydotool

Yeah… i’m pretty sure the EA CEO was also bragging to the media at the time about finishing the game in record time. Except it wasn’t really finished if you ask me lol.

Yeah there were, the performance was horrible. Had screen tearing from all the framedrops, and in some areas the internal resolution looked like it was 720p or something. Ironically i bought the ps5 version thinking it would save me from performance issues, cause at the time my gpu was getting older and couldn’t buy a new one because of the scarcity, only to be met with that lol. I played the new-game+ mode or whatever over a year later and it was finally fixed for the most part at that point. Still had some screen tearing in really busy areas later in the game.

It worked out great for jedi survivor

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact Systemd/Linux, or as i’ve recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux.

I’m not sure how much of a difference it would make in terms of resource usages to ditch systemd, but what i can say is that Void is a great distro. Runit boots blazingly fast, xbps is probably no joke the fastest package manager i’ve ever used, but also very robust and can handle very outdated systems just fine. I’ve never tried Devuan so i don’t have an opinion on it.

Yeah admittedly when i was still using Arch at the time i never read the PKGBUILD. For one i was still more of a newb who didn’t understand the PKGBUILD files yet, but it also didn’t seem to be as much of a problem back then (this was like 5 years ago or something). I don’t use Arch or the AUR anymore now though.

You run the same risks downloading torrents of games or porn on whatever OS you use. This isn’t really linux related, it’s related to downloading unverified files uploaded by random people online, which is what the aur basically is.

Linux took off around the same time that BSD was involved in a lawsuit, which halted the project while linux kept going with its development, atleast that’s what i’ve seen in youtube videos about it. I’ve looked at the BSD systems a while back out of curiousity, and while i haven’t actually tried installing it on hardware to make sure, from my research none of my devices is actually supported in terms of hardware. Meanwhile Linux worked fine for everything. Both are also opensource, so there’s not much of a reason for me to try and wrestle with BSD when Linux does the job. BSD might be worth it for some server usecases (because like you said, security), or if you feel really strongly about it idealogically one way or the other (maybe you prefer more permissive licenses, or the fact that BSD is one unified system with it’s kernel and coreutils being part of the same project).

Edit: something else i didn’t mention is that Linux has some specific cool things going for it, like Nix and Guix/declarative systems. I don’t think BSD really has a declarative approach like that available, and i’m a big fan of it.

As much as i hate AI slop, i honestly wonder how many people globally actually care. In my country (netherlands) you see more and more AI generated ads on tv as well, and i’m not sure if the average person even cares. Maybe they don’t even notice, heck i can’t even tell at first glance sometimes, in part probably because ads aren’t really something you generally pay attention to.

I think what he’s saying is that there might be more options coming for stacking compositors (if they haven’t been created already) since the new River framework makes it easier to create them

Instead of downvoting me, maybe you could be more clear about what you want, and not take it out on the messenger if it turns out the exact thing you want doesn’t exist lol. Build it yourself i guess.

If i have to pick one i’d say River. I have a bunch of tiling compositors configured but find myself coming back to River the most. It feels stable, it’s minimal, but still supports the wayland protocols you’d want to be there, and is fairly simple to configure with its shell script config file.
