Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I don't get it. What's "Wayland"?

    [–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Wayland is a windowing system, sort of. It's a replacement for X11. It changes how graphics are done on Linux machines, and has a more modern and secure approach which offers better performance and efficiency. It notoriously doesn't work very well on NVIDIA, because NVIDIA for a long time didn't allow the community to write drivers for Linux and didn't want to put effort into making it work correctly. This has changed recently but there are still some headaches with certain desktop environments or window managers.

    This is a video from 2 years ago that tries to explain Wayland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1BoZnekkyM

    It's a lot more usable now than it was when this video came out though, I run it every day.

    wayland has worked perfectly for me in the past year, but still here's a recent wayland meme video by Virbox https://youtu.be/t5NCvrYbIac
