There are quite a few niche window managers and desktop environments that it’d be a shame to loose. I’m quite fond of Windowmaker (and curious about Afterstep), Trinity DE, and NSCDE for example, and I’m not aware of Wayland plans for any of them.

Looking Glass is apparently broken on GNOME + Wayland in this exact way.
Ideally there would be a bare minimum server side decoration for Wayland apps (like Looking Glass) that don’t provide any CSD. Hopefully that’s on the horizon if it’s not what’s being discussed here.
That first link doesn’t have anything like what you describe
Edit: they changed the link, the new one is at least relevant. The old link was just some random comment.
Couldn’t finish it: too much whining, not enough substance.
I haven’t tried hyprland yet but if this is the guy developing it than maybe I’m good.
Cosmic seems promising. Best of luck to system76, happy to see an alternative opinionated desktop getting some momentum.
I had no issues with compatibility, just made sure to save documents to older microsoft office formats in the hopes of avoiding issues.
I never had to use an exam browser or anything like that, I’d imagine you’d want to have a polite conversation with the instructor if that were to occur, perhaps they can make an exception or allow you to do it on a library computer
Collaboration was always over google docs, so there were never any problems working with others. My CS classes were all expected to be done in Linux VMs so that was sort of ideal. Other science/humanities classes were totally software-agnostic.
RAID 5/6 aren’t yet recommended for general use on BTRFS by the developers.
Other than that I agree it should be suitable for anything, and an improvement over ext4 in some situations.
If you don’t know what RAID 5/6 is you are good.
One of the best apps on any platform
I remember a showstopper a while back being that you can’t resize the title bar while shaded. That’s already the current behavior on x11, so I would be fine with that caveat continuing if it meant wayland support.
On KDE Plasma, my only outstanding bug is that the “window shade” button on my window controls is broken. Too bad since I use that feature a lot.
On GNOME everything seems to work as far as I can tell. It’s pretty smooth!
Nice job! If you can get the nvidia driver installed properly, any distro should work in theory.
On Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/nvidia-drivers-installation
On Pop!_OS it should be already installed by default
I’ve been hearing good things about Nobara, Ill have to try it out!
LTS kernels aren’t more or less stable. Rather, they have been selected by the kernel maintainers to get security fixes backported to them for a certain time.
Ubuntu does the same thing for the kernels on their LTS versions (technically they usually are not LTS kernels since canonical supports them instead of kernel team)
Overall I’d suggest going with what the distro provides unless you have very new hardware, in which case a newer kernel may be required
Haven’t done this myself, but supposedly you can do it with xboxdrv using the “–mimic-xpad” flag
I was really impressed with the hub. Such a well-implemented feature. I also miss the led that would blink a different color for different types of notifications or conversations
I think you have it right, I was being clumsy with my phrasing
Pretty sure it just had an emulation layer for Android. I had a Passport when it was new, and I remember the phone was emulating a version of Android a few years old, so a few apps didn’t work properly
Stardew Valley is a very relaxing and fun game where you start a farm in a small town. It has also has optional multiplayer. I found it very addictive.
That’s what I’m thinking. A menu entry that just runs chown -R [username] on whatever you click is the idea
Just saw your edit. One thing you should be doing is taking ownership of directories you plan to be working in. So for an external drive for example, you’d want to make sure your user(s) have r/w/x permission recursively (granting permission for all files and folders underneath using the same command) on the root folder of the drive then you can move stuff on and off freely.
I agree it could be more straightforward, but ideally you’d only have to do it one time when you first use the drive with that machine
I’ve successfully recovered data from ext4 on a broken drive on one occasion. I agree it would have been better to have backups so lesson learned I suppose. Still if I’d been on ZFS root with no mirror I’d have been even more SOL
When I commented it was a link to a random github comment that had nothing to do with the subject. I guess they fixed it and removed the second link between my comment and yours
