This next week starts the winter vacations for me. Now I have two weeks to perform a functional programming training, in a new operative system and environment, NixOS and Xmonad tiling WM. It was a mind opening and learning experience, even I was choose it for the trends, I don't regret for it. But now I want to relearn and return to a tiling window manager, is time to say goodbye. Sayonara Arch Linux!

#wayland #x11 #wm

It looks like #alpine linux are developing a wayland compositor to run a rootless #xwayland instance as means of dropping X11/Xorg as packages from their repos.

This is a crying shame for me, as I happen to use #alpinelinux on my Thinkpad.

Why they just don't use cage though, is curious to me: github.com/cage-kiosk/cage

But anyway, that's their choice. Good luck to them.

But one comment which came out of the lobsters post was this:

sourceforge.net/projects/twelv

Which looks to be the promise of a wayland -> bridge, providing there's any xorg packages left in repos by then. But at least it would allow you to run waylaid-only applications on any X11 WM you wanted.

I've forked the above project here:

github.com/ThomasAdam/waylandx

Primarily so that I didn't have to use sourceforge, or SVN.

I'm not sure why Imake was ever used, and awk for script generation -- that's just some of the minor things which I might change, along with the portals being upgraded.

It'll be about an interesting project, and I'm just pleased someone started this, without the need for others (like myself) to have to do it from scratch.

Ich wollte #JuergenKlopp gerade recht geben, da fallen mir plötzlich die auch von #RTL & @ntv viel besprochenen und von #Trump & #Musk geliebten human-absurden Käfigkämpfe im #OKTAGON-Format ein. Die nämlich sind mindestens noch absurder und unmenschlich als die #ClubWM, die nur existiert, weil eine handvoll #FiFa-Männer mit der herkömmlichen #Fussball-#WM im 4-Jahrestournus ihre Krallen nicht voll genug bekommen können.
