I recently ran into a bug in the latest version of cmake that breaks it completely in my system, can’t compile shit and it just does a coredump.
What is worse is that I can’t even report the bug because I can’t get the registration email from the cmake gitlab. I checked the manjaro repos and their cmake version is 2 versions older than the one that has the bug that left me thinking for a while lol.
Flatpak is like the most bloated thing ever because of the runtime and all the dependencies it needs.
I did a test, flatpak with just firefox installed used 3 GiB of space.
While 15 appimages that includes heavy applications like libreoffice, kdenlive and two web browsers uses 1.2GiB.
Both servers were running musl libc instead of glibc for a while. This gave me a couple of random issues, but eventually I got tired and switched back to glibc.
musl in a nutshell
I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia). I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn’t go nuts either. Made me think maybe people aren’t actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.
since i3 dies not work on Wayland.
Might wanna drink a bit more coffee btw (sorry I couldn’t hold it lol).

Also this issue which affects xfce apps in wayland:

I also need to find a way to do “window devour” in sway.
I also tried Hyprland and it was a total nope for me, I wasted my time reading the wiki pinning workspaces to certain monitors only for hyprland to tell me that shit was deprecated. I also found that I can’t move a floating window between displays in hyprland, as the move left/right commands move the floating window to the left or right of the display and don’t actually move it left or right, that means the window gets stuck in the left or right side of the display when trying to move it into the next.
edit: And my polybar is a long config for multiple displays as well that has several features I worked on and I really don’t wanna bother migrating to another bar:
I have indicators of cpu usage (which when click change the cpu scheduler), mem, gpu, etc, It also prints the names of the windows in the scratchpad which is the Xfce4-terminal Mate-calc in this case, the current workspace, the window class name and instance of the window with focus, the currently playing music track with playerctl, the volume in decibels, the current network speed, etc.
Description: You need more than 1 display to reproduce this issue. Spawn a floating window in a display. Move focus to a different display, can be empty. Now move the focus left/right into the disp...
