#Wayland runs successfully on more things than I think some might realize. For example, I successfully got this #BananaPi set up with #SlackwareARM 15.0, and got my favorite #wlroots compositor, #dwl.

Big thanks to @mozes, the maintainer of Slackware ARM, and all the folks on the LinuxQuestions forum, for putting up with my nonsense regarding getting my Banana Pi to run Slackware ARM and the troubleshooting that came from it. The first BPi had dead SATA, so I bought a new one that works good :)

do not use suckless software.

Je suis pas sûr-e d'avoir compris ce qu'est dwl. Ça permet d'avoir des ses fenêtre en tiling ? Je pourrais me passer de Polonium ?

Je suis sous Arch (Wayland) + KDE et je voulais du tiling mais j'ai toujours des petits problèmes, d'où ma question.

Playing around with #Wayland, it seems pretty cool. I'm still trying to unlearn some of the #X11-isms, but I managed to get real-time clock and battery updates here on #dwl.

It especially helped that I patched dwl to use IPC.

Also, obligatory #Slackware #Linux fastfetch.

Only problem I've encountered is that j4-dmenu-desktop and Discord no longer launch where they used to. I'll need to sort that out, but the Discord web client and manually executing Flatpak apps works too.

Dit dus. Een magistraal rondje in de mist. Met wel 8+1 deelnemers. Met Richard als nieuweling die in zijn Quest naar www.tourdeals.nl wilt gaan rijden in juni.

Decided to give Wayland a fair shot. It took me a while to mentally block out all the X11-isms regarding configuration that simply don't apply to Wayland, but once I got a grip on how Wayland operates, I got dwl running here, and it's pretty nice. I'll have to do some more configuring if I wanna use it seriously (I don't even have binds for media keys set yet!) but for now I'll probably stick with X11 as it's my comfort zone.
