Curious from people who follow its development closely.

  • What protocol are about to be finally implemented?
  • Which ones are still a struggle?
  • How many serious protocols are there missing?

I’m going to buy an AMD video card this weekend solely so I don’t have to deal with the NVidia bullshit anymore. I’m eager to give hyperland a try.

    I love hyprland, but plugging my laptop into a projector for a presentation and forgetting to mirror displays was a fun time. Hard to explain the default anime girl away without people knowing what you're talking about. Since then I've learned you can disable that background lmao

    That’s the hyprland community, for good and mostly bad

    I have a feeling most of these people are either NEETs or never used a work computer.

    I'm on the gay side of the community (and have only seen Ghibli and Cowboy Beebop which takes away a ton of credentials). Still rough, but a tad better. Downloaded a premade setup from github because it's cute and left it with that. Outside of adding some keyboard shortcuts

    It was just a presentation for peers in grad school. For a fun project unrelated to my thesis. Would never have used my personal for a work related presentation. Just a funny story nonetheless. Getting mad shit from buddies beats being fired or passed for promotion anyday lmao

    Judging people's backgrounds is 100x more unprofessional imo unless they're like seriously questionable

    Idk what specific image was shown. But anything described as "anime girl" could have strong csam vibes assuming this grad school student is older than 11 themselves.

    For some reason its normalized in some parts of the Linux community to have sexualized images of children.

    You could set certain ports to automatically mirror or set all other monitors to automatically mirror. The resolution will be the same as your primary though.

    monitor=,preferred,auto,1,mirror,DP-1```

    This has long been the best advice. However, just in case you are not aware, some pretty important NVIDIA changes are expected to drop in the next 2 months. It will take a while to work into every distribution but NVIDIA should finally work as well as AMD.

    Yes I know. I have read all about explicit sync. It's going to take at least a few months to trickle into the various packages and distributions and we're still trusting NVidia to give us a proper driver with it as well. And we're assuming there's nothing else that will cause yet more problems with Wayland/etc.

    I'm at my wits end trying to be patient with them (on the order of years). I now understand why Linus flipped them off with a loud "F you".

    How's the AMD drivers situation on Linux? I always used Nvidia since they have official drivers, but might change for the next card if AMD works better. I don't use Wayland so never ran into the issues.

    If your AMD card is older than your latest linux distro release it's plug and play, no driver installation required
    Wayland works pretty well on most desktop environments too

    beware fresh released AMD cards in combination with long term release distros like Debian stable, you most likely will need the driver from the AMD website (not recommended)

    Mesa is usually pretty quick to update, it's just that stable distros won't update mesa all that quickly. I assume most of them have some way to install a newer mesa from a community repo or something.
