From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A full-featured, hackable tiling window manager written and configured in Python (X11 + Wayland)

For anyone else who didn't know that already.

Time to see if Nvidia works with Qtile Wayland. Got a lot of flickering and visual bugs with pywlroots 0.15.

Not great. Still having a lot of issues with flickering. Guess this is what I get for buying Nvidia.

Turns out I’m dumb and didn’t realize that Arch hadn’t updated the package yet. As long as you have the env variable WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1, it works pretty well.

Awesome. I might try it. I had two days of breakage because of updated python packages prior to qtile being updated (which was bandaided with IgnorePkg in pacman.conf). But now it's all good.
