You could run the game under Wayland before, but it was not default behavior nor provided as an option.

I used to force the game to use the Wayland version 3 years ago to work around a bug in GLFW that caused inputs to be ignored under X11.

But then Minecraft updated to use a fixed version of GLFW so I stopped needing to do so.

I ran 1.21.10 and snapshot 25w34a. With xeyes, I was able to confirm that 1.21.10 was using Xwayland and 25w34a was using Wayland.

Not sure why Lemmy sometimes does that with the preview, here is the link: https://blogs.gnome.org/gtk/2025/10/23/svg-in-gtk/

Oh wow, I missed that! That’s great.

As it stands today, sudo-rs is the default sudo implementation on Ubuntu 25.10, and uutils’ coreutils has mostly replaced the GNU implementation, with a few exceptions, many of which will be resolved by releases in the coming weeks. These diversions back to the existing implementations demonstrate that stability and resilience are more important than “hype” in our approach: I expect us to have completed the migration during the next cycle, but not before the tools are ready.

Yes. They also reverted some of the still unfinished stuff to use the Gnu versions until the Rust versions are ready.

It’s been discussed a bit in the Sodium Discord. At least for now, there are no plans to use mesh shaders in Sodium due to OS incompatibility, driver concerns, and questions on whether it’s really necessary for better performance.

So Nvidium will remain relevant and necessary for mesh shaders.

I do keep it on for touchpads, they are too small to used without it. But with a mouse with proper hand space, it’s just more consistent to have it off.

True, but my issue with OpenBSD is that the performance is really lacking in terms of desktop smoothness. It feels like sub 60 fps compared the smoothness of Linux and FreeBSD.

I hope it’s just a current driver incompatibility and not related to their hardening. Will try again once 7.8 releases.

Maybe Secureblue?

That also comes with its own hardened browser based on GrapheneOS’s.

And if you don’t go with Secureblue and its browser, I’d recommend using a browser Chromium based, probably Brave. I know that’s a controversial choice, but in terms of security and ad blocking, it’s one of the better options. And disable JIT for V8.

The most reliable stats would be the Steam hardware survey.

It’s not on the chart.

No

Yes. However, it’s still very notable that distros like Ubuntu have gone from 40+% to under 10%.

kurtjmac was one of the first (I’m not sure if the first) to start the journey. His journey is notable because he did not use the nether or any glitches and built up a community over those 14 years.

To my understanding, you just need a phone number to make an account. I think it can be a burner number. But then if you ever lose access to the account you can’t recover it.

If that was true, then why don’t we have a fork of Firefox being developed by the community that is better than Firefox?

The only thing we have now are forks of Firefox. Sure, some are better, but all still rely on Mozilla’s upstream contributions. If Mozilla stopped supporting Firefox, these forks would be dead. They just add some features and UI changes. They are not working on web standards, fixing implementations of those standards, or security fixes.

Mozilla gets fucking loads

From Google. And if that deal disappeared, Mozilla would probably go bankrupt or rely on a worse deal from another provider. Neither would be good for Firefox development.

It makes sense that Mozilla wants to branch out, diversify. It just sucks that they’re terrible at doing it. Would have been cool if Mozilla operated like Proton or any other privacy-orientated service provider.

most open source software manages to avoid ads, why do you think that is

Because they have scruples and usually have financial issues as a result.

They get some small donations from some users… and Google.

It being open source means nothing. Open source developers still need to eat. It just means that you could remove all the things you don’t like.
