I don't have to "convince myself" of anything because 1) unlike you I actually understand what I'm talking about (hint: Wayland is not a new...

[jacob]

This is pure drivel. Wayland has nothing to do with Windows and it has nothing to do with X11 either. It's a graphics stack, not something to run "on...

[jacob]

Well, it seems that unlike you I actually read and understand those benchmarks. Firstly the benchmark we are currently discussing here is about legacy...

[jacob]

You're talking out of you arse. Wayland was never meant to "support" X11 because it was never meant to be a next-version X11 or even a successor...

[jacob]

You are contradicting yourself. You can't support something and replace it at the same time.
Wayland was supposed to replace X11, not support it....

[jacob]

Wayland wasn't supposed to support X11 any more than Windows or MacOS weren't supposed to support X11; yet you can optionally run a X11 server on top...

[jacob]

That's step 1 (for some reason this command didn't work for me, I had to do it using dconf editor).
But then you need to allow Gnome Shell to actually...

[jacob]

BTRFS has no stable RAID 5/6 because no-one seems to be willing to fund it. Those who use BTRFS in production and pay for its development (directly or...

[jacob]

To be fair, no STABLE distro with GNOME 3.36 has been released yet. But I get where you're coming from. It's like those people who always whine that BTRFS...

[jacob]

Running Ubuntu 20.04. I don't know what you mean by "syncing output on input". As I said, I know that the lag problem exists in some cases,...

[jacob]

I talked about my experience with Wolfenstein NO & OB. Last time I checked those were definitely GAMES, not office software ...

[jacob]

Simply not true. If you want to know, i *DO* have a video encoding running right now, on a relatively feeble CPU too, with no problems. I know that the...

[jacob]

There is no stuttering or cursor lag here. As for why I assumed you use Nvidia, well that's because it's always Nvidia that causes issues with graphics...

[jacob]

Why? I just played Wolfenstein New Order & Old Blood using xwayland and had zero issues with it (Intel GPU). It's not Wayland that's crap, it's NVidia....

[jacob]

I'm running a 20.04 daily build with the Wayland session (I've even enabled Wayland for Firefox and Thunderbird). There are a few remaining glitches,...

[jacob]

I tend to agree with this. I use Ubuntu but for the reasons that you say, I tend to install everything that is not part of the core OS (which of course...

[jacob]

That's basically what I meant. ChromeOS and Android get it right and are doing very well. Ubuntu and Fedora (and their derivatives) are moving in that...

[jacob]

Have you got any data on this? Admittedly I don't but I very much doubt that FreeBSD is even within the same order of magnitude as Ubuntu, RHEL etc. Now...

[jacob]

apt-btrfs-snapshot provides the same functionality with BTRFS. Install it, forget it and use apt as before, it Just Works. On one plus side, you get automatic...

[jacob]

Right. Because M4 is much better, isn't it? Oh wait......
