Xfce's Wayland Roadmap Updated (www.phoronix.com)

The Xfce Wayland road-map on the project’s Wiki has been updated a few times over the past two weeks, namely around the desktop panel plug-ins and applications support for Wayland. There still isn’t a firm timeline or release where they expect to have a complete Xfce Wayland transition complete, but ultimately are aiming to...

That’d be nice. Getting my monitor above 60hz requires Wayland on my AMD card. I’d like another desktop environment option.

Digging New World and Albion Online at the moment. All those others are great, too. ESO can get tricky to install addons is my only comment there.

Anyone know of an eli5 on zram? I don't see why just compressing your RAM would make it run better.

I honestly think we need community-managed LTS distros. This is a good start.

Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.

But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don't want to go with some corporate solution.

I stand corrected!

Highlighting that he called out Steve for not asking for comment from LMG for his video.

From the majority of the team, this is a pretty good and textbook PR mea culpa. "Here's how we screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."

The pushing the merch was tone-deaf and the defensive whining from Linus was NOT on-point, though. I appreciate it ended with "how I'm going to fix it," but he should keep the defensive shit to himself.

With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.

Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.

I agree with Steve on everything, this was a huge blunder and fail in messaging from Linus. But you are supposed to reach out and ask for comment before running a story. I was a news reporter and have a master's in public relations.

Edit: Called Linus "Linux"

Nope. You call them up and go, "This is happening and we're running a story. Care to comment?" You should even have a list of questions to ask if they agree. They can give you bullshit answers if they want, then you point those out and add that to the story. It doesn't have to affect the story. Facts are facts, and they can try to explain it away, but can't. You're still holding them accountable. You're just also giving them a chance to apologize or own up to it. And if they dont' comment, you include that.

Steve and crew are amazing tech journalists. They're doing great work. But that's a miss in this whole thing.

I did watch the video. And I don't agree with him. He needs to ask for a comment.

Animortis,

OK, this I can agree with. And in fairness I was never writing about a big, constantly-updated video channel that was continually talking about itself. But it still screams to me there needs to be a chance at letting them respond.

As always, MegaMek is a great resource for this stuff. I sort by year, and then by vehicles. See if there's any names you recognize, like the Manticore or Savannah Master. I sort down to up, then go as close to 3025 as I can. That stuff is Succession Wars stuff, and the standard versions all seem to be great starting points.

Freaking good. I wasn’t buying this due to their previous stance. I’ll watch for a while, but I’d feel a lot better about it.

Can someone explain to me the difference between "community-driven" and "corporate-driven" distributions and its implications?

A lot of debate today about “community” vs “corporate”-driven distributions. I (think I) understand the basic difference between the two, but what confuses me is when I read, for example:...

Additional community distros not mentioned: OpenMandriva, PCLinuxOS, Mageia, NixOS.

REALLY proud of this one. I dry-brushed on Spaceship Exterior for Army Painter over a black primer, then highlighted the windows and lasers in a way that I feel really makes it pop. New personal best.

Hey everyone, just kind of a mod announcement: I'm looking to improve our federation with Lemmy. If I look at this from my lemmy.world account, I don't see any posts. Does anyone know how to improve this?

Animortis,
Animortis avatar

It looks like somehow we've started feeding that instance, but only with our new content. I hope that kbin and Lemmy integration improves in future versions.

Animortis,
Animortis avatar

@theolodger Yup, new content. But that’s something I guess. Just need people to make some. Lol

Well, the important thing is we can still violently overthrow society when we don't get our way. /s

I'm looking for help getting my magazine more exposure on the Fediverse. When I look at it from Lemmy.world, the magazine appears blank. But it definitely isn't. Is there a certain way to get other Fediverse sites to see content there?

Animortis,

I’m always looking for new options. How did you make it?
