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!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Let's do it right here!
    Sway is a Wayland i3 implementation and you really should be using Wayland instead of X.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (10 children)

    No, you only should be using Wayland if you need some of it's features. If you don't need mixed refresh rate/mixed scaling you're fine using X.

    X' architecture is insecure. There's no isolation between windows, and each process can spy on your input. That's just one example.
    Wayland is necessary.

    Yet no known active exploits use this insecure architecture to cause actual harm. It's just another FUD.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I'd hardly call that an exploit. There's no protection.
