  • It's definitely just my opinion. Honestly did not mean to imply otherwise.

    For my opinion I usually create a comment below my post to seperate my opinion and the post itself.

    On-topic: I do believe it's useful to have this switch and there's nothing stopping distros to change their default. Completely replacing the default keybindings might be surprising to long time users, but I also believe it should be done at some point. For the meantime this switch can be simply added as an alias.







  • This will help eliminate excess baggage that builds up over time by automatically removing end-of-life runtimes that are no longer used. As the system is updated to use new drivers/run-times, the old ones can be automatically removed.

    This might solve the issue with flatpak nvidia driver versions not being removed and accumulating over time. AMD/Intel don't have this issue as a single flatpak mesa driver version can work with multiple system drivers. Nvidia's closed source driver needs an exact version match to allow for flatpak's sandboxed GUI apps to work.

    At least that's how I understand it, take it with a grain of salt.



  • I've been using Sway on and off since 2020. Wayland always worked well as long as it supports the specific use case and the apps are doing the right thing (e.g. pipewire, portals, no Xwayland).

    VRR with multiple monitors and HDR are likely the biggest reasons to use Wayland, as most other improvements are less noticeable. E.g. Sway always felt more responsive to me than i3 + picom, even with a single monitor in 2020.

    If you have issues with applications not working well on Wayland, either wait for proper Wayland support or ditch them. For Steam this'd likely mean stay on X.org.


  • Im Kern solle "der extreme Ausgangsentwurf" der Kommission beibehalten werden. Die Beschränkung auf "Hochrisikodienste" sei bedeutungslos, "weil jeder Kommunikationsdienst immer auch zum Versenden illegaler Darstellungen missbraucht wird".

    Ferner solle Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung weiter allgemein ausgehebelt werden, um Smartphones per Client-Side-Scanning "zu Spionen umzufunktionieren". Höchste Alarmstufe besteht laut dem Parlamentarier, weil auch bisher kritische EU-Staaten die umverpackten Pläne lobten und so die Sperrminorität nicht mehr stehe. Selbst von der Bundesregierung fehle eine klare Absage für die flächendeckende Chatkontrolle unverschlüsselter Dienste.

    Fantastisch. Ich kann nicht glauben, dass dieses Thema immer noch nicht vom Tisch ist.

    JPEG-XL allows the use of client-side synthesized grain. A method pioneered by Netflix/AV1 I believe. Compression algorithms struggle with high frequency detail, which often introduce visible artifacts. JPEG-XL allows to decouple the grain component from the actual image data. This allows for significantly more efficient compression of images that inherently require noise, such as those in gnome-backgrounds — smooth gradients that would otherwise be susceptible to color banding.
