The possibility of choice is a relief. But if one has a lot of storage bloat for some "features" one doesn't use, that's annoying.

Edit: OMG it's a slay for real! 😂

Isn't it a sleigh? Or is there a pun somewhere? I thought Santa was being killed in some Lego set 😂

KDE Plasma sets date to dump X11 as Wayland push accelerates in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for the info. I'll try a live USB with Kubuntu 25.10 or 26.04dev and check it out. Now that you mention that, the blurriness was indeed related with scaling (though not fractional).

The main one is the Wacom stylus & screen, on a Thinkpad X1Extreme. I tried Wayland from a live Kubuntu 24.04, and in settings there was the message "Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported". At that point I didn't check anything else. I also noticed that the desktop and windows weren't so "crisp" as they were under X11, although I can't exactly explain where the feeling came from; probably I would have chosen X11 even if the stylus had worked.

I suspect that I can actually login on a Wayland session even now; I'll try it out as soon as I have time.

Thank you, I didn't know this, it's comforting and gives a bit of hope!

Good to hear! Keeping my fingers crossed.

Why not be a professional scientist by:

  • adding "in mice" to the title;
  • using modern statistical methods instead of continuously discredited procedures like p-values?

Unbound as DNS resolver on a Linux laptop: tips/experiences? (lemmy.ca)

[Edit: this question came out of my confusion. I thought Unbound could somehow substitute DNS servers (like CloudFlare), but it can't. Apologies for my ignorance.]

I've often heard about Unbound, and the possibility of using it as a DNS resolver on my laptop. So, to be clear, not as a DNS resolver in a local network; just in a single machine, also because I'd like to use it no matter where I bring my laptop.

The instructions given in the second link above seem quite complete. Does anyone here have other tips or experiences to share? I'm with Ubuntu on a Thinkpad.

Cheers!

Question: Laptop vendors with long-support for Linux + stylus + powerful CPU? (lemmy.ca)

I'm looking around for a laptop with these characteristics in particular:

  • Screen with stylus / pen (and pressure levels), but it doesn't need to be "2-in-1".

  • Good or above-average computing capabilities.

  • Long support for some Linux distribution. I emphasize "long", because for example Lenovo for its laptops supports only one specific distribution version. Recently I upgraded my Thinkpad X1C9 to Kubuntu 24.04, but OEM drivers are only available for 20.04.

Do you have any suggestions of good vendors of a laptop like that? And experiences to share?

The Thinkpad X1 Extreme was a good example of what I have in mind. But Lenovo don't produce stuff like that anymore – and again, it doesn't really support Linux long-term.

Thank you for sharing!

How to test Wayland from a live USB? (Ubuntu/Kubuntu) (lemmy.ca)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/48956797

Does anyone know how to test a Wayland session with a Kubuntu 24.04 live USB? I'm testing it out now, but I see that it's using an X11 session. I'd like to test how the laptop would work under Wayland instead, before installing Kubuntu or Ubuntu for good.

Some web search lead to this post, which gives quite involved instructions but it's from 2020. Hopefully it's more straightforward now?

Cheers!
