I think I want to build my next desktop pc. Any component recommendations for best #Linux compatibility?
I’m aiming for an AMD ryzen 9 9900X
But I’m not sure which board to use 😬

I mean, he has a right for opinions and that won’t change what his service is providing.
Not critizicing your decision but I’m not a person that discards a service or product because I disagree with their creator

Im not sure what typo of opinions. But i don’t mind people having opinions. I much rather be sure my service is good and reliable.
I’ll check Tuta, never heard of it

I think I’m fed up with gmail. Besides YouTube (as there is no other clear alternative), gmail is the only thing I use form them.
But it seems they are making it harder and harder to even consider their products as “reasonable”.
Is there any good alternative? Proton Mail and the whole suite seems like a nice thing but is it worth it?

Ah that makes sense. But then I’m wondering. Next time would you be switching to a display-less tablet?

🤔 Do you turn off the display while using it like that?
I think I want to give that a try. I’ve always used pen display tablets so I’m not sure of the benefits of a different setup

Actually this seem like the perfect opportunity for an upgrade. I was really trying to do it for a while and actually found your reviews of the Xp pen artist 19 and Huion Kanvas 19 very helpful.
So I’ll just lie to myself and say there is no other option but to get a new tablet 😬😬

An update on this:
There are good news and bad news.
The good news is this is not yet another Linux issue I need to spend time trying to fix.
The bad news is the tablet/pencil is broken as it seems to happen on Mac OS with the proprietary drivers as well

Although the project has gone in a direction I no longer want to move to, Fedora is still a special project for me. It’s the first FOS project I ever contributed and I learned a lot there.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this release and thank you for constantly pushing forward the Linux ecosystem.

Understood! Thank you! And I’ll take into account the flag for sarcasm next time 😅.
Sorry for taking it so defensively 🙇‍♂️

Well, is not so much about comfort and habits. (and please allow me to ask as I may be taking this the wrong way, but was it sarcasm?) but about being productive and using the software I consider the best for the task. (No I don’t think X11 is the best but most of the software that run only on it is)

Gnome and Kde will be fine for sure, maybe even XFCE. But smaller window managers will suffer. I use DWM or Xmonad and I doubt they will ever be ported to Wayland. I could use Sway or Hyperland (yet another troublesome project owner it seems) but still I would not benefit from things like gsetwacom or ktabletconfig. Quite likely I may not benefit either from the Color Management implementations done by every DE, and xiccd is out of the question as it is X11 dependent. (3/4)

So I’ll have to change my workflow to adapt to either gnome or kde and I would very much like to keep my over-the-year-perfected workflow running 🥹🥹
Sorry for the long reply 🙇 (4/4)

The biggest issue I have is not really Wayland. Wayland is just a protocol meaning that every desktop environment will need to implement it to have a “Wayland implementation”. As you may know this means the every implementation is desktop dependent and so every one is maintained separately. (2/4)

I really don’t find technical issues with what Xlibre is doing. I reviewed the changes in their latest release and tried out te code successfully with an Arch Linux install. Regarding the ethics, well I don’t agree with the Xlibre project leader in many, many things. But this is common with many other projects that both think different to what I believe both technically, ethically and politically (Debian, and Fedora project included) (1/4)

Once again I find myself in the position of having to search for a new distro.
One that will make it a priority to use XLibre when X11 is deprecated for good.
Do I like the XLibre project and his maintainer. Not particularly. But I am one of the, apparently, rare cases in which Wayland is not an option.
So when major distros drop support to X11 my work setting will be pretty much broken. And I’m sure as hell Debian will also drop support for it in future releases (if not 13, 14 will be)
