  • Seems like a redhat problem, so why is he complaining. It wasn’t the developer who signed an agreement to maintain xorg, so I don’t get the argument. Either you do it for the money you get paid, and if you don’t feel like it’s enough, then don’t do it. The developer can just quit and do something else, ask for another project. The only one who is making him work on xorg is redhat.

    But why even mention m it in the same context as Wayland, make Wayland work for the end user and 90% of people would not care if thier Linux machine was using Wayland or xorg.

    Yes I’ve had multiple issues with video conferencing on Wayland, but my experience is 1 - 2 years old. I just use what works, I don’t have any technical problems with xorg and that is why I use it.

    Just let xorg die.


  • I honestly don’t get these posts, there’s a couple of things that is super weird.

    1. Why does every discussion about Wayland include trashing xorg?

    2. Isn’t the solution pretty obvious, stop mainting xorg if you don’t like to maintain xorg, who is forcing you to maintain xorg?

    I really don’t care if I’m using xorg or wayland, I just want something that works, and I have tried wayland and that isn’t the case as of the moment. And I don’t care about the why, because I can’t be like yeah I use Wayland that’s why I can’t be on this video conference.

    Just stop mainting it if you don’t want to maintain it, problem solved, move on.




  • Bought the budget version, pixel 6a. I have nothing but good experience with it. It is the best phone I’ve had, never again spending money on flag ship phones. This shit cost me about $250, and it feels, looks good and faster than my previous bloatware s10 - which cost me $1100 brand new, the battery and the camera was shit, had it for 3 years, couldn’t stand having it another year.

    In a couple of years I’ll by a new low budget phone. You don’t need a flag ship phone trust me, if it’s not for the camera, but then I’d buy an iPhone.



  • Yeah no, most build scripts if they are worth their salt, will absolutely not pull the latest package from a given source. Because that is insane, 99% of the time they validate the download with a checksum, meaning that you have to update the checksum in the build script, or in the case of multiple downloads - multiple checksums.

    Yes pacman is the underlying technology that enables aur to exist.


  • You have no idea, what you are talking about. And it’s starting to become to cringe to keep going, you’re either a troll or clueless.

    Aur is not supported by Arch Linux. It’s a community repository that has build scripts yes, but you have either one download the build scripts and use pacman to install them, two use a pacman wrapper like yaurt to fetch them and install them for you using guess what pacman!

    Just because the tool isn’t supported by the distro doesn’t matter in this case, because they solve the same issue!! You are installing packages from a repository that the community oversees. Your case for arch Linux was installing the latest version of an application.

    Have you even pulled your head out of arch linux ass and looked att xbps? No, because I’m starting to doubt if you would understand it, and there are other distros that offer the same thing.

    You keep straw maning




  • I’m not new to Linux, I know what arch is. And Debian isnt the only alternative to arch. Like I said every Major distribution has community repositories.

    Ubuntu has packstall, Fedora rpm fusion, opensuse probably has some aswell, void has community repositories in xbps. And guess what they are all pretty up to date.

    I’m not going to install a Linux distro based on the community repository, I’m not even running any of the major distro, because I don’t care what packages are available. I have a few programs that I run, and it’s not that hard to make other programs work, when you know what to do.
