How wholesome! I also appreciate the move to Codeberg. Don’t forget that Codeberg runs on donations. Please help if you can.
Good, but the way the developer spells “nazy” makes me to follow the quoted advice on my own brain process:
if you want to change the wallpaper during runtime, you must pkill the daemon, and then start it again
Awww 💜
Also moved to codeberg in the process. Bonus
good on that guy for noticing and changing.

uh, which one?

So how long until Lunduke does a video about how this software has GoNe WoKe?
Lunduke really went fucking crazy. It’s wild watching his feed and remembering he’s the same guy from Linux sucks.
About 3.5 minutes probably.
Can someone explain?
The first name of the project was “The Final Solution to your Wayland Wallpaper Worries”. The developer reports he was unaware of the connotation until the Ukraine war happened.

I don’t think you should let Nazi’s win the war of language.
It’s case-by-case. Fascists are going to invade and appropriate every shred of culture they can find. But some of their choice culture is so toxic that they will own it for a long time. “Final Solution” and “Concentration Camp”. But others like “living space” are probably not forever nazi.
“Living space”, like? Displacing other peoples to provide an ideal amount of population density to your own people is still not OK. Or it should be anyway.
Agreed, I think the author’s feeling towards this is commendable in spirit, but to let a generic phrase be forever attached to a political movement in any setting is a bit much, even if it’s infamously memorable, it doesn’t belong to Nazis.
Still, it’s just a name change, so, aside from a few lines of code to change, it doesn’t badly affect anyone. All power to the authorIt’s not a big deal to change the name, and it masks actual Nazi use of the language.

BTW this is a prolonged ‘Aha moment’, not a typesetting symbolism of laughter.
Now if only the GIMP maintainers would come to their senses.
Edit: corrected “it” to “if”.
No thats what the mask is for.
Btw, as a cool gui for setting your wallpaper there’s waypaper
A happy ending!

I see what you’re saying, but the fact that it can be ambiguous is actually what makes it so useful to fascist organizers.
They thrive on phrases that allow them to wink at each other when they want to, but claim innocence if someone calls them out.
Isn’t that something done by any group being oppressed and not in power, regardless of what kind of cause they are for?
e.g. those who had capoeira and similar things that had martial arts disguised as other stuff, back when they couldn’t practice partial arts.Though I find it hard to understand why they still have to wink now, when there are literal state-sanctioned groups of armed people-robbers around, who are also fine getting filmed in the act.
When multiple countries’ governments have switched from turning a blind eye, to actually endorsing such actions, what more are these groups trying to accomplish by using these deniability tactics?
Wut

Stuff like swaybg, despite being very well built, only support setting a single wallpaper on startup. This means, if you want to change the wallpaper during runtime, you must pkill the daemon
So this…this is the power of Wayland
No, it’s a limitation with swaybg so they created a tool that doesn’t have that limitation.
…have you actually used Wayland? If you’re using Plasma or GNOME, its indistinguishable from X11 except it actually has a slightly more (inexplicable tbh) polished feel to it.
This comment is incredibly misinformed
I still bounce back to x11 over a handful of deal breaking issues I run in to every time I try. Screen shares are extremely low quality, barrier (vkvm software) crashes intermittently, and inevitably I run in to clipboard issues. After a couple of days I just want my computer to work again. I use Plasma

In what way? I’ve been using triple monitors for close to a decade now and my KDE switched from X11 to Wayland at some point without me noticing, so I’m wondering what I missed.

Something KDE has done seems to have resolved the issues I used to have with DPI related scaling problems in Wayland. Once Plasma 6 hit, it’s been nothing but rapid improvements with Wayland as a focus and man does it feel nice.
That said, there’s virtually no downside to still using X unless you have explicit display features you need from Wayland like HDR or the per-display scaling. Xfce is stupid lightweight and still my default for anything where battery life is a benefit.
I noticed the same thing with KDE and Wayland. Sometimes my curser still grows 10 sizes or shrinks as I pass over certain windows or between monitors but things are more consistent and predictable than they used to be.
The fact that you’re comparing Wayland to XFCE tells us you’re not entirely sure what you’re doing. One is a compositor and the other is a desktop environment.
Your problems are with GNOME. I dont even think you could define what X11 and Wayland are based on your posts, much less articulate why one is better than the other
Start by reading about Wayland. Don’t make shit up and defend a position you can’t even articulate. It’s cringe.

Ah, my monitors are all identical and stay plugged in all the time, so it’s a much less complicated use-case than yours.
I do have one issue where, because I picked the wrong 9070XT on launch day and couldn’t exchange it due to lack of availability, one of my monitors is on HDMI instead of DisplayPort and takes annoyingly longer to wake from sleep or change modes than the other two. But I think that’s more likely a hardware or driver problem than a Wayland one.
Really? I have two 4k monitors, one being 160hz and I find they’re handled way better by Wayland over X11. Even fractional scaling is perfect now
Yeah I tried it, out of the gate my favourite WM - i3 isn’t supported.
I tried some of the other WMs, and they all kinda sucked imo.
I tried Gnome but it didn’t work for me when I tried using guake.
I also had issues with Spectacle on Plasma (captured area is just plain white).
In both - OBS didn’t work properly either (black screen with some capture methods, massive lag with others) and games were a bit laggy (stutters/frame time spikes).
Last one could be that Wayland doesn’t play nice with the proprietary Nvidia driver or that unlike with Xorg, Proton/SteamPlay dont support launching a gamescope nested session from a Wayland session (or didn’t back when I tried it) which usually ensures silky smooth performance.
So yeah, this was a while back but.
i3 doesn’t work with Wayland because it’s an X11 WM… You wouldn’t complain about X11 because Sway doesn’t work on it.
Btw, Sway is a drop-in Wayland replacement for i3 if you want to move to Wayland. i3 configs work with Sway; it’s an i3 clone.
