I'm not a fan of the phrasing of this article Title. In truth, the "bug" was more of a feature request.

The following is my (limited) understanding of the issue

To have a different Virtual Desktop displayed on Each monitor. Something that couldn't be done, because of an X11 limitation. It is possible to do on Wayland, but no one actually sat down & did it until now.

#KDE #Wayland #X11 #Linux #OpenSource #Foss

A PHP Dev Just Solved a 20+ Year-Old KDE Plasma Problem No One Else Would

KWin can now show different virtual desktops on each screen independently.

It's FOSS

Oh, wait.
#Xedit for #x11 always had a #Lisp interpreter and even
if it's damn cool to have (much lighter than Emacs and comes
with #NetBSD and #OpenBSD base) it never got updated
for XFT support.

This runs straight:

(defun factorial (n)
(fact-iter 1 1 n))

(defun fact-iter (a b n)
(cond
((> b n) a)
('t
(fact-iter (* a b) (+ b 1) n ))))

(factorial 10)

Press Ctrl-x e to evaluate at the end
of every '()' function.

It will evaluate to 3628800.

Wayland o X11?

Solution in #nixos #flake for machine ThinkPad #x230 seems to be:
services.xserver.enable = true;
services.displayManager.gdm.enable = true;
services.desktopManager.gnome.enable = true;
services.desktopManager.gnome.flashback.enableMetacity = true;
# At the GDM login screen, click the gear # icon to choose between:
# - "GNOME" (Wayland)
# - "GNOME Flashback (Metacity)" #X11
and
nixos-rebuild boot + reboot is required (not switch) when jumping across major nixpkgs versions
I am trying to update my #nixos flake and discover that #x11 is not supported by the latest #gnome but I also know that some of my hardware (#HPelitedesk800 , VM machines running xrdp and x11spice) fails to show correct windows under #wayland so this is very un-linuxy and I feel like a sort of macos hardware obsolescence vibe ... Or is #Xfce the new way forward here for the good old tech? Thinkpad #x230 once failed with fifo underrun on pipe B when running wayland

I am pretty sure, that the infotainment in RB trains #deutschebahn is running on #x11 ! 🤔

Unfortunately the crash recovery is too fast - when I've noticed the cursor it's flashed away before I've taken the picture.

Port it to #wayland !

Episode 25 of our technology podcast @RuntimeArguments (http://RuntimeArguments.fm) and yes, I’m insanely late with this post, though the episode was on time. This episode is called "The X Window System and Wayland".

Jim @jammcq digs into the connection between Linux programs and windows showing up on the screen in front of you. Wolf @YesJustWolf asks all the dumb questions you wouldn’t have uttered even if you were in the room (mostly because Wolf doesn’t care about looking dumb).

As always, we want to know what you think:

Neste vídeo, eu mostro #MortalKombatX rodando em #FullHD, travado em #30FPS, na #RX550 de 4 GB, comparando o #desempenho entre #Debian13 e #LinuxMint223, lado a lado.

O teste foi feito usando o mesmo hardware e as mesmas configurações dentro do jogo.

No #Debian, o jogo roda em #Wayland, enquanto no #LinuxMint o teste foi feito em #X11.

Claude's Tab Window Manager `ctwm` is a notable #Xorg #X11 window manager for operating systems in the #UNIX family and is associated with nearly every #Linux and #BSD distribution "distro." There is no correct answer to using the window manager; however, these screenshots below are from #Ubuntu and #NetBSD, respectively, with NetBSD containing a greater number of colors in the array in `xcolors` than Ubuntu.
