  • Honestly must be incredibly stressful managing a project like the Linux kernel. Governments constantly wanting changes made for their own purposes, companies leeching off the work of volunteers, neck beards losing their minds over some change they don’t like.

    I don’t envy them at all. This sort of change was inevitability going to piss people off - it could have been handled better but I think it was going to be lose/lose no matter which way it was done.


  • Just a point on Wayland - I have an nvidia GPU and have been on Wayland for a couple months now (KDE Plasma), and its been entirely problem free and I actually forgot I switched from X11 to Wayland.

    Blender has support for Wayland now too.

    I do a lot of gaming and development - ever since Nvidia made those changes for Wayland support and KDE added that explicit sync stuff its been great. Before all of that though I had heaps of issues with flickering and just general usability.

    Wayland actually fixed a number of issues for me, like stuttering when notifications appear, and jankyness in resizing windows.















  • Kinda. It can help grip strength a lot, or at least holding weights in that way can. But its not a grip strength exercise. Deadlifts, barbell/dumbell shrugs, farmers carry, curls, etc… stuff like that can all help improve grip strength while not being the primary goal of the exercise.
