Idk, you’ll have to ask the xlibre dev lol

Mainly their readme being fully magat-pilled, talking about DEI and whatnot. They also waste time on things like renaming functions to own the libs. It’s not a project that i put any trust into and i’d rather use plain X11 if i had to go back.

The X11 developers

It’s not a fork though?

Multi-monitor issues surprises me, considering multi-monitor support is kind of a sellingpoint for wayland. I don’t think animations being incorrect has anything to do with wayland itself though, it’s up to the individual compositors to handle that.

There’s ydotool

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact Systemd/Linux, or as i’ve recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux.

I’m not sure how much of a difference it would make in terms of resource usages to ditch systemd, but what i can say is that Void is a great distro. Runit boots blazingly fast, xbps is probably no joke the fastest package manager i’ve ever used, but also very robust and can handle very outdated systems just fine. I’ve never tried Devuan so i don’t have an opinion on it.

Yeah admittedly when i was still using Arch at the time i never read the PKGBUILD. For one i was still more of a newb who didn’t understand the PKGBUILD files yet, but it also didn’t seem to be as much of a problem back then (this was like 5 years ago or something). I don’t use Arch or the AUR anymore now though.

You run the same risks downloading torrents of games or porn on whatever OS you use. This isn’t really linux related, it’s related to downloading unverified files uploaded by random people online, which is what the aur basically is.

Linux took off around the same time that BSD was involved in a lawsuit, which halted the project while linux kept going with its development, atleast that’s what i’ve seen in youtube videos about it. I’ve looked at the BSD systems a while back out of curiousity, and while i haven’t actually tried installing it on hardware to make sure, from my research none of my devices is actually supported in terms of hardware. Meanwhile Linux worked fine for everything. Both are also opensource, so there’s not much of a reason for me to try and wrestle with BSD when Linux does the job. BSD might be worth it for some server usecases (because like you said, security), or if you feel really strongly about it idealogically one way or the other (maybe you prefer more permissive licenses, or the fact that BSD is one unified system with it’s kernel and coreutils being part of the same project).

Edit: something else i didn’t mention is that Linux has some specific cool things going for it, like Nix and Guix/declarative systems. I don’t think BSD really has a declarative approach like that available, and i’m a big fan of it.

I think what he’s saying is that there might be more options coming for stacking compositors (if they haven’t been created already) since the new River framework makes it easier to create them

Instead of downvoting me, maybe you could be more clear about what you want, and not take it out on the messenger if it turns out the exact thing you want doesn’t exist lol. Build it yourself i guess.

If i have to pick one i’d say River. I have a bunch of tiling compositors configured but find myself coming back to River the most. It feels stable, it’s minimal, but still supports the wayland protocols you’d want to be there, and is fairly simple to configure with its shell script config file.

This is why you have a handfull of window managers configured and ready to go, always a fallback :)

That must be it then, in that case i was talking out of my ass lol. From what i remember Void linux doesn’t mention selinux at all in the handbook. Now i’m using Guix and decided to check the documentation, they do support it but it has limitations it seems. Never bothered to look into selinux when i was still on systemd distros, so i mistakenly assumed it had something to do with that.

So it does work fully on distros without systemd? The distros i’ve tried so far either have no support or limited support, so i assumed it to have something to do with lack of systemd. They usually rely on apparmor instead.

Never used it, but i think that’s also because it doesn’t work on distros without systemd. So i guess that’s a reason to dislike it?

Might have to look into that! As i was looking up capitaine again i found out that there’s a fork with some cool colorschemes like gruvbox, which i really like the look of as well.

Was about to say, why would you copy anything when using sudo !! lol

That’s interesting, i guess i’m the old fashioned type then cause i’m the reverse of that. Cursors without a tail always look off to me. It’s why i never liked things like bibata eventhough it seems to be pretty popular.
