Goated movie. They don't make them like that anymore.

I was stupid enough to use one wire and not two, or I wouldn’t be here typing this

Well, I was smarter, but, thankfully, still here.
I was maybe 5 years old when one day I decided for some reason that I have to know how the electricity works "first hand". So I took an electrical plug with a wire from dad's tool box. It had two exposed copper ends. I plugged it in the outlet and while trying to inspect the "electricity" flow I, most likely accidentaly, have completed the circuit with my hand.

Interesting how the experience wasn't painful it's just muscles in your body get tense and you literally can't drop the wire or move at all. Thank god my Dad was around and maybe 10 seconds after I got shocked he pulled the plug. I had no serious injuries: just burns, a bit of shock and a lifelong lesson.

P.S. It was a 220V outlet too. But I'm not sure if it's more dangerous than the US ones.

Half of the linux ecosystem is personal projects.
Linux itself started as

just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu

It's not useless as you can learn from it.

Almost. It doesn't try to solve all the problems, though. I'd say it's a passion project like Haiku and TempleOS.

From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous "linux from scratch" and started to shape his own distro.

 

Probably a long way from being daily-driven, but I really love the idea.

Ok, because of this post - I decided to bite the bullet and try wayland again. And it was much better experience this time:

I've installed sway "pattern" on OpenSuse-Tumbleweed and:

  • Previous time I had some issues with lightdm not supporting sway, now - it just works.
  • I still use xdotool and i3-msg in my custom scratchpad script and yet everything is working.

waybar absolutely supports clicking tray icons.

I confused it with swaybar, that's installed with sway by default and should be an i3bar-compatible. Waybar doesn't seem to support i3bar protocol, but anyway, after I configured it - it's like 95% there from what I want.

  • I had to force xcb platform for appimage of nekoray (qt VPN gui), because it's complaining about missing wayland-egl plugin. But it's a small problem with straightforward fix, so not that bad.

I could switch tomorrow if I could do my current setup:

  • Tiling Window manager (sway?)
  • simple status bar to output text from a script with clickable applet icons (waybar?)
  • the way to show/hide windows on a button press - I have a script that I use to quickly toggle 3 dropdown terminal windows

Last time I tried Wayland in December, I had issues with waybar not supporting clicking tray applet icons. Also I've ported my dropdown terminals script to support sway - and it worked half the time, like, literally every second key press was ignored.

On one hand I have X session that currently has no downsides for me, on other - wayland that has no upsides. Tell me, why would I switch?

it's a marketing stunt not a logic-related problem

He might do like 2-5 deliveries per trip if they align.

it seems to be a variation of "cargospace" meme.
