      Missing window decorations? Just import GTK, and use it for your multi-platform application, despite you’re using OpenGL/Vulkan for everything else. Alt key trying to bring up a menu in your game? That’s just expected behavior. (Yes, GNOME devs really tried to tell me, that the Alt key opened the menubar in Unreal/UT99, and that it should be in every PC game.)

      im trying out Wayland on linux mint 22.3 beta

      • lock screen doesn’t work from the mint menu
      • screenshots take 1/4th of the screen only
      • vesktop and brave don’t work
      • I can’t screen record on OBS
      • sometimes the right click menu on firefox doesn’t select and i have to spam right click to make it work, i think it’s related to typing textboxes tho

      still im not a quitter since my keyboard layout works now.

      Huh, weird! KDE on Wayland has been rock solid for me! I’ve been using Plasma 6, so can’t vouch for Plasma 5’s stability, if that’s what you were using.

      Might be KDE or to do with versions of libraries, Wayland runs pretty good with Sway on Alpine Linux.

        Huh, I thought Alpine was mainly just used for Kubernetes pods and different container images. Do you actually use Alpine as a daily driver? How is it? I’m still quite new to using Linux as a desktop, so I haven’t considered it for that.

          Yeah I run it as a daily driver, I wrote a little something to bootstrap it with encrypted zfs set up. I personally really like it for how stable/minimal it is, no systemd and running musl libc which I used do myself on Gentoo but as a binary distro Alpine is a lot less effort.

          My whole install is under 4GB of packages and it’s very lean, there’s like 30k packages in the repos so quite decent for selection, and if you need to custom build stuff aports (like Arch Linux AUR) is pretty straightforward. Apk is also a great package manager.

          There are a few caveats though, with musl libc a few things won’t work (Obligatory fuck Nvidia) since they are compiled for glibc, so for that flatpak is your friend here (I use Steam with it a lot). It also requires a bit of understanding to debug sometimes, I use the Gentoo and Arch wikis for things if the Alpine wiki is missing something.

          It’s a fantastic distro though and I hardly have to maintain it/things rarely go wrong. Been running as a desktop for a few years now.

    I’m going to keep calling it Twittermas, which will make it okay that I continue to provide them with traffic, content and ad revenue.

    “But, it doesn’t support multi-story gingerbread houses…”

    “You don’t really need that. It’s not a supported feature. If you want it, write an appropriate Waylandmas compositor to support the functionality.”
