@technobaboo (That said, I certainly agree with implementing Wayland in as many things as possible, I even use it with Hyprland, but I don't believe in trying to kill X11 entirely.)
@technobaboo This is why the Steamdeck uses Gamescope, a Wayland compositor in handheld mode, but uses X11 when it kicks over to Desktop mode. Use what is best and most mature for each task.
As for "It wasn't just devs trying to impose some ideology, it wasn't some corporate takeover.", it can be two things. It can both be a good solution for many tasks they're pursuing, AND be something that Redhat is trying to jam down everyone's throat because they don't want to keep X11 around in their OS anymore, and if they were the ones removing it alone and nobody else was, they would get criticism for removing it.

@zaitcev Waffle House IS very good. I don't get to go to it very often since the closest one is like a 5 hour drive away.
@AlexLW @Cheeseness Some Australian group mobbed the credit card companies about it, and the credit card companies caved to their demands to get some specific adult games banned from Steam and Itch.IO, but because Itch doesn't have the bandwidth to vet every NSFW game and make sure it doesn't have the specific things the payment processors are asking them to remove, they've apparently delisted all of them at least temporarily.
Mangadex is doing something that is messing with my normal way of using their site... Normally I open up the Updates folder, then just open everything in a new tab. Now it whines about too quick of requests and then won't let me read any more for hours if I open things in tabs.
@SecurityWriter So, it's a corporate thing. They want a corporation to sue if something breaks, and they don't want to assure something in house.
@SecurityWriter The cloud first thing is baffling to me. Libreoffice runs on almost everything, and you can sync things through Nextcloud... Maybe they're just leaning really hard into the "the people don't actually own any computing and we control everything."
@SecurityWriter Cloud is crap, use native? I suppose the point is that the major tech sphere, Apple/Google/Microsoft/etc, is moving towards "you don't own your computing" model while Linux, FreeBSD, etc is still trying to work in the "you own your computing and can do everything locally" model. I have my netflix equivalent, my dropbox equivalent, my google calendar equivalent, etc all running in my garage.
@zaitcev (You should probably be more offended that they didn't bother labeling the ones in Russia and China.)
@zaitcev The same is true for the US, Canada, Brazil, Australia, China, India... I think it's any particularly large country gets its subdivisions shown.
@pro There's also this: https://github.com/firecat53/networkmanager-dmenu if I wanted to do things in a more Hyprland sort of way, instead of the platform agnostic one.
@pro I've always used Ethernet on my desktop, but you can use NetworkManager and nmtui with hyprland if you want. That's the configuration I use on a couple of my laptops when I'm using ratpoison.
@mhoye It would actually be more doable in the US since our electric rates are usually in the 8 to 15 cents per Kwh range, while European power is 30-60 cents per kwh. If you run that 3000w card for 8 hours a day it'll cost you $320 per month just to run your computer over there. OTOH, most AAA games can be made to run on a 15 watt steamdeck, so it's only graphics whores that need to worry.
@mhoye Our circuits are actually a split 230v for most homes, with the center tap being connected to neutral/ground, so most appliances just use one half of the transformer. If you use the entire transformer, you get 230v. Except in apartments where such things run off 208v instead because they're going across two legs of the 3 phase. We usually have 2-3 circuits wired up for 230v in the house, so if we wanted to run higher end computers we could just install another.
