Regarding the #postmarketos 24.06 release (congrats and thanks to all contributors!) I wanted to add a detail that I think wasn't really mentioned in the posts I saw so far: this release come with #libcamera + #pipewire support by default - even if #pulseaudio is used for audio.
That means that screensharing on #wayland should work OOTB and - more crucially - that a camera stack is in place that allows a much greater number of apps to use cameras - including sandboxed ones.


Switch to #linux for #xscreensaver, lol. Screensavers are so good here.

Anyways apparently #fedora40 uses #wayland ? So I followed this guide: https://www.linux.org/threads/xscreensaver-under-wayland.43543/ to get xscreensaver running. You beaty.

I might make a PR to xscreensaver for native Wayland support when I'm older. And can figure out how to compile a C program.


Disregard my previous post, I figured it out - here is a pure #Wayland desktop running on #Android, with a #Pipewire backend that is then being read by #GStreamer in a proot, which is then read by GStreamer on the host device through a FIFO (as raw YUV420 frames). It works, and all without X!


I've been on #X11 for past 28+ years, but used different WMs over time: #twm, #fvwm95, #e16, #gnome, #compiz, #xmonad and #awesomewm.

I'm migrating to #Wayland and need a wm which would ease the move. Requirements are: tiling, no window decorations, keyboard driven and config driven.

I rediscovered #i3 == #sway which check all my boxes and use common config. After some tweaking, I got it working well with my keybindings and usage patterns.

Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!
