Hard to say without having used Arch. I just really like Portage. It does some really neat things.

Ohh! Nice to know! Might try that with War Thunder tomorrow. No clue if that’s SDL or not.

It’s always preferable to have options, yeah. I so far haven’t found a need to use an xorg session, knock wood.

Glad that’s working out for you. :)

BTW wine vanilla and some custom proton builds are adding direct wayland support, just so you know. It’s still experimental but works great for some games, just in case you have others tying you to X.

Just lower case “yank” will suffice. That one’s already in use.

Huh, interesting. I have seen the black window thing before but only with electron apps, and those can be told to use in-proc GPU to get around that issue. I assume that’s not the issue you had.

I was more wondering like what apps, since I’ve not had trouble myself.

Hadn’t heard of labwc, will have to check it out if I run into issues, thanks.

What’s stopping you from using wayland, out of interest?

If gentoo stopped being maintained, I guess I’d find something else.

And any platform that wants to allow adult content would have a viable means to secure funding. You can’t overstate how far the chilling effects of VISA et al’s anti-porn stance reaches.

What’s their stance on porn?

Yeah that’s true. I’m mostly talking local tools right now, but low tier sites are always gonna be a problem.

We used to be like this about PNGs once, it’ll pass.

It’s super easy to boycott Ubisoft because they make nothing but trash I don’t want to play. :P

Probably true of MS too, idk.

Red Hat, back when that was a distro. It was a long time ago now and my toying with it didn’t last long; and began an obsession with hardware RAID…

I just really like portage, I guess. I know how to use it, and learning how to do the same thing in guix doesn’t offer any benefits that I know of that matter to me, yet. Maybe one day.

I use Gentoo, and atomic just doesn’t seem like a fit for me. That said I could see it being great for people who don’t tinker. If I were to get a family member to use linux I might pick an atomic distro.

I assume they’re talking about the idea that tolerance is a social contract, and that people who do not abide by it are not protected by it either. I.e. It is not a contradiction of tolerance to not tolerate intolerance.

Man I picked the best time to take a serious shot at daily driving desktop linux. Most of what I want just works and new stuff is always just around the corner. Just got NTsync on my preferred kernel, now wayland session restore is coming.

Star Citizen runs just fine under linux. For the most part, anyway. Being under active dev it breaks occasionally, but the Linux User Group has always gotten it working again so far.

I would recommend using Wine directly over using Lutris right now, but that’s an option you can pick in this script. Join the discord if you have trouble, people are friendly there if you’re polite.

Don’t use Proton/Steam for it.
