Once again I find myself in the position of having to search for a new distro. One that will make it a priority to use XLibre when X11 is deprecated for good. Do I like the XLibre project and his maintainer. Not particularly. But I am one of the, apparently, rare cases in which Wayland is not an option. So when major distros drop support to X11 my work setting will be pretty much broken. And I’m sure as hell Debian will also drop support for it in future releases (if not 13, 14 will be)

@davidrevoy I really don’t find technical issues with what Xlibre is doing. I reviewed the changes in their latest release and tried out te code successfully with an Arch Linux install. Regarding the ethics, well I don’t agree with the Xlibre project leader in many, many things. But this is common with many other projects that both think different to what I believe both technically, ethically and politically (Debian, and Fedora project included) (1/4)

The biggest issue I have is not really Wayland. Wayland is just a protocol meaning that every desktop environment will need to implement it to have a “Wayland implementation”. As you may know this means the every implementation is desktop dependent and so every one is maintained separately. (2/4)

Gnome and Kde will be fine for sure, maybe even XFCE. But smaller window managers will suffer. I use DWM or Xmonad and I doubt they will ever be ported to Wayland. I could use Sway or Hyperland (yet another troublesome project owner it seems) but still I would not benefit from things like gsetwacom or ktabletconfig. Quite likely I may not benefit either from the Color Management implementations done by every DE, and xiccd is out of the question as it is X11 dependent. (3/4)

So I’ll have to change my workflow to adapt to either gnome or kde and I would very much like to keep my over-the-year-perfected workflow running 🥹🥹Sorry for the long reply 🙇 (4/4)

@Popolon I stay away from Arch as I really need a stable environment. I’ve been using Debian the last couple of years successfully though. Regarding Wayland, I don’t have a problem with it except that it does not support everything I need. And quite likely it will never support the things I want. (1/2)

So what I mean is Wayland is fine. I don’t care about it, nor do I want to stop its development. I just wish the alternatives are not set to rot in oblivion as there are still many who need it (2/2)

@mangeurdenuage @davidrevoy Thanks for the suggestion. I am more than willing to try a FSF endorsed distro. The main issue is my hardware. Both my wifi card and graphic card are a useless without proprietary drivers/firmware 😕😕Devuan is definitely n my radar. My concern is my dependence to systemd (lots of scripts and configs I have are systemd dependent) but this is something I can definitely work on!

@davidrevoy Well, is not so much about comfort and habits. (and please allow me to ask as I may be taking this the wrong way, but was it sarcasm?) but about being productive and using the software I consider the best for the task. (No I don’t think X11 is the best but most of the software that run only on it is)

@davidrevoy Understood! Thank you! And I’ll take into account the flag for sarcasm next time 😅. Sorry for taking it so defensively 🙇♂️

People complain a lot about systemd. I just had the chance to try out Devuan with Runit and I have to say so far I’m missing Systemd. I’m pretty sure is my lack of skill but the fact that systemd is so integrated makes things very easy to handle imho. Anyway, I’ll report later when I’m more used to Runit 😁

@lincoln Right. I’m not against changing window managers. But there are tools that will not work correctly there I presume (maybe I’m wrong). For example color management is desktop environment dependent, and it seems Wacom drivers is the same as there is a specific tool for kde and One for gnome. But nothing available outside these environments.

@tschak @brouhaha Im pretty much In the same situation. I produce comics, illustrations and videogames. I have a perfect setup for all of these but this setup only works on Xorg. The love to Wayland as it is breaks it and leaves me in a mess of a state. I’m now looking for distros that will support Xlibre as it seems to be the only way to continue my work as it is

@marceles_pixel @AlJazeera @global-news-AlJazeera Casualmente estoy en Colombia visitando a la familia. Pero según entendí no fue muy grave la cosa en Japón pero debo confirmar. Gracias por preguntar ❤️

@nixCraft I think most people against these measures don’t have kids. I can’t think of a good reason to allow my kid to join Social Networks unrestrictedly and I’m sure any other parent out there would agree with this.

@takovic I’m not even sure how that works here. I don’t think my client supports them yet

An update on this:There are good news and bad news. The good news is this is not yet another Linux issue I need to spend time trying to fix. The bad news is the tablet/pencil is broken as it seems to happen on Mac OS with the proprietary drivers as well #linux #artistProblems https://mstdn.jp/@Juankprada/115569049306519810

I think I’m fed up with gmail. Besides YouTube (as there is no other clear alternative), gmail is the only thing I use form them. But it seems they are making it harder and harder to even consider their products as “reasonable”. Is there any good alternative? Proton Mail and the whole suite seems like a nice thing but is it worth it?

@davidrevoy It’s color blind? 🤪
