Dead.. when both KDE/GNOME compositors *both* can't turn on my DisplayPort on this laptop... Wayland is not ready, still. I can't switch to it at all.
Code:[ 126.282206] amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: amdgpu: SRBM_SOFT_RESET=0x00100040 [ 126.449983] [drm] Got external EDID base block and 2 extensions from "edid/Samsung-LC27G7xT.edid.bin" for connector "DP-2"
If nobody is going to release 1.21, maybe it's time someone took the reins of this, if its documented how the releases are made. I would if I had time...Last edited by spstarr; 13 April 2021, 04:28 PM.

Thanks for the response. I did some digging and you are correct. Unfortunately SDDM has a hard requirement for the xorg-x11-server. I hope that is some thing they intend to correct before the final release of 34. It would be odd to have a release whose main feature is to remove X but then force you to take it anyway over the greeter which is going to send you to Wayland. I'm sticking with the idea that the best way to update X is to remove it.

Then he told me "Imagine if you have a bitcoin wallet and it fetches gigabytes of data from the harddisk and your compositor kills it" and I did die internally from reading that.
People, if your program stalls main() for a large amount of time to fetch data from the harddrive, you do something massively wrong and should not be anywhere near to a computer.

Program can be swapped out from RAM to disk, and until it is read back in, it can not continue. It may run slower, but it will work.
