Like everyone deep down is just a bigot (self-inferred I assume?), and some people just have the social skills to hide that better

Basically this. Yes. This is how socialization works. This is also how a society works.

I have no problem with Vaxry since I don't know him personally. I don't think we could be friends, based on what he says online. But to me this is absolutely irrelevant when it comes to using the software he maintains.

So basically a cancerous organization meets a toxic community?

Awesome entertainment for hours!

The steam UI is flickering and in No Mans Sky some parts are also flickering and have visible artifacts. Minetest, well, the whole window constantly and heavily flickers with whitescreen (I'd screenrecord for demonstration, but that doesn't work either.). I have no idea why. I just know that on X11 it works flawlessly without any tweaks.

Maybe one of the many Nvidia issues.

I am too uninterested in Wayland to really care. I just switch to X11 for gaming.

Some time ago I switched to Wayland running Hyprland on my laptop. It basically works but I don't do much except using some web apps.

On my PC I also switched to Wayland recently, running labwc. While basic stuff works, a lot of my daily use case doesn't.

On Wayland you can barely record your screen (doesn't work for me at all with useless error message), let alone simultaneously recording multiple different windows and multiple different audio and video sources all going into different channels.

Also gaming (No Mans Sky on Steam): The Steam UI flickers like hell, and even games run extremely bad, low FPS, flickering of certain parts. Same for native games. Minetest is downright unusable due to extreme flickering of the whole window.

On X11: all of this works flawlessly and out of the box.

I don't know about yours, but Linux is on MY desktop since ca. 2005.

How do you guys cycle through windows?

Alt+Tab is used to tab through windows. Alt+Shift+Tab is used for doing the same but backwards because this is what I noticed to be somewhat standardized on all relevant systems and environments I know.

Other than that I established a concept on how to work with the keyboard: Alt+... is used for everything WM related, Alt+Ctrl+... controls windows and Alt+Shift+... lefts out windows (it shifts the focus to the desktop).

For example:

  • Alt+Shift+Left/Right switches to the left or right virtual desktop in labwc on my computer.
  • Alt+Ctrl+Left/Right moves the currently active window to the left/right desktop.

  • On Hyprland on my laptop I use Alt+Shift+Arrows to move the focus in that direction.
  • With Alt+Ctrl+Arrows I move the window in that direction. * Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Arrows resizes the window in that direction

  • On both I use Alt+Drag&Drop to move windows
  • Alt+Mousewheel switches to to the next/previous virtual desktop
  • Alt+Ctrl+Mousewheel moves the window to the next/previous desktop

Useful ... and mandatory!

Yes, this is not a PWA system but an SSB implementation. In the context of this thread it's fine since Lemmy is useless without Internet connection, so why bother with persistent local storage and not just rely on browser cache?

On Linux you can create a simple .desktop file and place it where your system can load it. It will be automatically placed in places where your other application's desktop files are shown. On Windows you can create a shortcut and change the shortcut's icon and place the shortcut file wherever you want.

I use this technique on my private Linux machines as well as on my work laptop (Windows 10).

Yeah, but combining those doesn't make the buttons smaller and tab-like. Enabling userchrome.css support and tweaking it yourself does, though. Still dumb that Firefox uses giant buttons instead of tabs.
