You know what I love? Seeing -rc1 of a piece of software I love using. #SwayWm in this case.

All of my computing experience for the past decades has been in Linux/#FOSS. It's not *always* smooth, but I at least I never had to worry about new popups/dark patterns trying to get me to accept data collection/sharing or some other infuriating Big Tech move.

Just things getting slightly better with each release. A feature here, a bugfix there. Occasional new bugs (oh well, I know how that happens)

As a mini-follosup #sway 1.12-rc1 has been working beautifully past few days. HDR works, specific window screencasting works.

I switched to vulkan renderer to enable some of that and all-in-all the whole desktop feels smoother somehow (not measured, trust me bro)

As a major bonus - Zoom calls do not seem to hurt the system nearly as much and CPU is mostly idling. I don't know if that's related to Sway change or Zoom finally fixed something...
