Read the changelog, might take 5 minutes to fix. Don’t have time? Rollback.
It’s not hard
I am a computer person. My philosophy is probably a common one, if it works don’t touch it.
The truthest truth, but also the hardest one to follow

Man I posted this and now my servers down. Looks like maybe my NVMe drive failed. Can’t catch a break.
I’m still on XFCE + Compiz because Wayfire doesn’t support global hotkeys (more of wayland’s fault) nor does it have 3d windows for the cube effect.
KDE wayland has global hotkeys, so does hyprland. seems like a skill issue for Wayfire.
It was one of the dumb “kick the can to downstream because muh security & effort” things which is why support for it really only came recently: https://dec05eba.com/2024/03/29/wayland-global-hotkeys-shortcut-is-mostly-useless/
I’m sure it will eventually get better, but like all of the things wrong with wayland can be summed up as “alpha protocol subject to change plz to not use (introduced: 7 years ago)” with “Options: alpha-protocol-kde, protocol-gnome-thing, protocol-whatshouldhavebeeninweston7yearsagoyoutwat (sway), protocol-hyprland-memelol-v2”
OK unc. Most people use Wayland now while you cling to your insecure outdated and entirely unmaintained x-server speaking about alpha this and that.
Yeah have fun with your shitty triple buffer and unsupported arbitrary monitor angles lol.
about alpha this and that.
Most of wayland’s features like HDR weren’t implemented until literally last year. I have forum threads 3 times older than this lemmy account on how slow wayland progress was.
Wake me up when Wayfire goes stable and I’ll happily switch in superior XFCE performant style.
No joke, I was getting tired of the constant breaking changes in Hyprland, so when I learned about the Lua update I just said fuck it and moved to Sway.
I wanted the “Debian Stable” of Wayland WMs and figured Sway was it.It turns out that everyone else doesn’t have a computer at all, and their life relies entirely on computers that have been built and maintained by others.
I keep spare computers around just in case I break something but still need to be productive
Two is one, and one is none

Lol just upgraded to 26.05 today, surprisingly smooth! This time…
I had to fix 3 errors in Hyprland and a warning in Foot after updating to 26.05 yesterday. I think there was more, but at least it works now.
This literally made me switch to niri
This is why you have a handfull of window managers configured and ready to go, always a fallback :)
I would regard myself as Quite Computer, not Very, and yet, have still managed to bugger my Linux box by messing with the bootloader.
No drive or USB ports recognised on boot. No way to boot from iso. Yay me.
My rack is chained up in the garage and beaten into submission. I get an alert if something is down and an alert over a week if there’s an upgrade. I put those alerts on silent so i only see them when i pull the shade down on the phone.
Computers are better seen and not heard.
Sounds horrible. My Debian sway config shields me from such a life :)
/me ((Cries in Linux Nvidia driver upgrades.))
