that’s mainly because of Wayland’s security model I think, it’s trading a tiny bit of convenience for lots more security in terms of things like preventing easy keylogging.

You can still do keylogging in wayland but that has to be done at the compositor or evdev layer, which requires root access or control of the DE, which makes it more secure. I’m sure you could write something in C to do this though

It might be an annoyance for you and I get that, but your small annoyance improves security for lots more people than you realise. I’m sure you can adapt to not using the script though (I also use multiple layouts and I work fine without a script like this)

yeah you sometimes need to force applications to run with xwayland, for qt apps I think you just assert the environmental variable:

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

that usually works for me

All my experiences with amd gpus have been fantastic, their drivers work beautifully and when they have even a slight issue it’s been problems with protocols adoption and whatnot, never the driver.

It’s such a contrast to the dogshit experience I’ve had with all the nvidia gpus I use, I really can’t think of a reason except cuda that a Linux user should get a nvidia device.

I hope when the people adopting Linux now start building their next pc demand for nvidia noticeably shrinks. Or maybe they’d be bankrupt by then because of the ai bubble crash

probably not, I move SSDs between computers all the time and linux always just works

very different story for windows installations though 🤮

why not just wipe the ssd and put Linux on it? dual boot should work fine, and if you have problems with it you could post it here
