Just throwing it out there as an option. Good luck.

Maybe reshare the directory locally through Samba on your VM?

Its good that people care enough to keep finding these vulnerabilities

Honestly must be incredibly stressful managing a project like the Linux kernel. Governments constantly wanting changes made for their own purposes, companies leeching off the work of volunteers, neck beards losing their minds over some change they don’t like.

I don’t envy them at all. This sort of change was inevitability going to piss people off - it could have been handled better but I think it was going to be lose/lose no matter which way it was done.

Good idea, thanks mate

Yep. Because windows 95 and 98 exist, and there is a bunch of software which would do a check for the operating system version you were running with something like, if the operating system name starts with “Windows 9” etc

Just a point on Wayland - I have an nvidia GPU and have been on Wayland for a couple months now (KDE Plasma), and its been entirely problem free and I actually forgot I switched from X11 to Wayland.

Blender has support for Wayland now too.

I do a lot of gaming and development - ever since Nvidia made those changes for Wayland support and KDE added that explicit sync stuff its been great. Before all of that though I had heaps of issues with flickering and just general usability.

Wayland actually fixed a number of issues for me, like stuttering when notifications appear, and jankyness in resizing windows.

When people say its not ready, it’s normally some specific use case that worked in X11. So, they’re not wrong, but not right either.

The one I wrote myself. Not because its any better ha ha. Its pretty fun to work on it though.

Only 6 hours on battery? That’s pretty low I’d have thought.
