Regions give manual tiling possibility though, which is actually how I prefer it. I’m testing a new patch that someone recently did to support focus based on region, which is nifty.

labwc is working pretty well these days. Screen tearing for games and all.

There are a bunch of environment variables that I set this time though, which may have contributed to a better experience this time.

If I were a new user, I’d consider using such a tool. I guess I’ll see myself out. ;-)

That indeed changes things, potentially introducing much more bias. What motivation would somebody have to install this tool and run it? Is it being marketed/advertised somehow? How, where, and to whom? :-P

People who voluntarily report usage are more likely to be new users, experimenting with Linux distributions etc. Greybeards like me will check out new stuff every few months or years, and won’t shout about it one way or another. We’ll probably not send statistics when prompted, either.

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/caps-lock-behaviour-wayland/79868/8 seems relevant.

PFS matters where a party hasn’t already been compromised. Not so hard.

Read up on perfect forward secrecy and TLS.

And yes, a jurisdiction could compel them to break their security, depending on laws and ability to threaten.

IF TLS is used AND configured optimally on both ends, THEN the in transit message contents should be very secure, in that transient session keys were used.

I would be interested to know how often those two preconditions hold true though.

Of course, this is only one small link in the chain. There aint no magic bullet.

Probably not your issue, but high dpi mice and some wine games don’t mix well. I bought a cheap low dpi usb mouse after discovering this.

If you want fast GPS coordinates, then you give more location hints. Local privacy regulations apply.

As a primary Linux user who wrote his own X tool to do exactly this and has been missing this functionality on Mac - thank you!

I’ll send my unpublished code your way soon. It’s just Go, relying on the WM (run command shortcuts) to call it. Move+Resize and Focus functionality.

It won’t work on Wayland, which seems to require native compositor support - labWC is halfway there.

edit: check your PMs

I’ve had the most luck with heroic games launcher for Epic. I guess anti-cheat will be problematic for multiplayer games on epic.

Can confirm. I’ve been using Linux for nearly 30 years… I don’t post questions on forums. Bug reports for OSS projects, on the other hand…

And how does MuseScore compare to a pen & paper and upright piano in terms of quality?

Also a dbus notification daemon (whichever you use) may be having problems. Things hang inexplicably if it’s not running.

Playing EFT is like being in an abusive relationship with Marie Kondo. If that idea rocks her boat, …

When covid had everyone working from home and avoiding social contact, I started my gaming journey with Firewatch and The Long Dark, and Factorio. All are excellent. Alien Isolation and The Forest came later.

TinyLinux (booting from DOS), Slackware, Debian for many years, Ubuntu, Debian, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch for 10+ years.

RH/CentOS/Amazon Linux for work these last 20 years.

I switched to Arch because ubuntu & debian started asking too many interactive questions when upgrading packages, instead of just upgrading. Arch gets out of my way, and has great documentation if something unexpected should break.

Who cares?

My company’s 9,000 CentOS machines and over 100,000 containers now mostly run Amazon Linux or Alpine. Rocky Linux was preferred by some, but we led the way and the rest followed. Our final licensed RH systems will also disappear this quarter (legacies of a DC-centric era), and we will be free of them.

It was inertia that kept us with RH, but their bad faith moves kicked us into action. We now have better security tooling and processes all around, too.

Good riddance, Red Hat (and IBM, until your next acquisition and corporate strangling)!
