Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    HDR for Wayland when?

    [–] LichbaneLB@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    For anyone else wondering, this is a X11 vs Wayland meme - i.e. desktop window managers. Yeah.

    [–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Neither of them are window managers, they are windowing systems. A window manager is the part that actually lets you move around windows and draws the borders and stuff, like kwin, mutter, xfwm, i3, etc

    As I typed my comment, I realised someone would correct me with hyperspecific linux terminology. But I support your correction good sir.

    does Wayland even have a built in DWM? Because both are session manager.

    [–] glibg10b@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

    No, Wayland is just a protocol, and the things that implement it are compositors, not WMs

    Also, there's no such thing as a DWM, except for the WM called dwm

    Well yes, the rest of the world does have better paper. 21×29.7, the only ratio to conserve itself when halving the sheet

    [–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Wait, is that true? Is there something special about that ratio in particular that lets it conserve ratio when dividing?

    There also is B0, which is exactly 1 by the root of 2 meters.

    Our doubling.
    Which means you pretty much don't have to think about scales at all.
