It's FOSS News · Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These ReasonsThe Debian Publicity Team is stepping away from X/Twitter, citing concerns over values and diversity.

Snap perfect screenshots in Hyprland with this quick guide:

Customize your Hyprland setup with Hyprpaper, a powerful tool for wallpaper management! 
It's FOSS · Setting Up Wallpapers With Hyprpaper in HyprlandTime to customize the looks of your Hyprland desktop with wallpapers. Hyprpaper is your friend here.
I used Arch btw... and I hated it.
I got this #ThinkPad X280, and I thought, I should go hardcore (I've used Arch in the past too btw). But I disliked the experience again, everything is just buggy: #Hyprland would crash with the default settings with Waybar, Deepin wouldn't load at all, Cinnamon wouldn't ask me for a pswd after a wake-up, KDE would go all haywire if Deepin was installed etc etc etc etc.
Just. Not. good. I don't see why all the raves.

It's FOSS · Installing the Much Hyped Hyprland on LinuxLet's get on the "hyp" wagon by installing Hyprland on your Linux system.
From what I gathered along the years of using Linux:
- KDE: Tinkerer, you want the OS to work *for you*.
- GNOME: Simpler, you want the OS to *stay away* from you.
- Budgie: Fast, you want GNOME but *your hardware doesn't*.
- XFCE: Faster, you want the OS to *run*.
- Hyprland: H4x0r, you want the OS to *be the terminal*.
- Sway: Edgy, you want the OS to be *your phone*.

@fabio@manganiello.social I've tried it several times but every time #Wayland just isn't there yet. Even if you stick to one of the huge DEs (which I don't), there's plenty of bugs and features just straight up not working. The things that do work seem to be a bit smoother than #Xorg, but there's too many things missing to make it worthwhile.
I was able to get pretty close with #Hyprland, but it constantly uses a full cpu core while being idle which isn't great, and the master tiling layout often leaves massive gaps which seem to only be resolved by opening a window, waiting a bit, and then closing that window again. Very annoying, and doesn't seem to ever happen with #Awesome.
I'll try again in a couple years I guess. It should be usable before the end of my life, right?

#Hyprland con catppuccin come color scheme è un po' scontato, ma sono comunque abbastanza fiera del mio setup
Salut, je suis nouvellement bioingénieur et je passe la plupart de mon temps libre à regarder des séries, des animes et à bidouiller sur mon ordi. De temps en temps je me remets à apprendre du japonais même si je devrais plutôt approfondir mon espagnol…
Depuis que j’ai découvert le Fédiverse, je vis pour #linux et la les logiciels #FOSS. J’écris sur un claver #BÉPO parce que l’AZERTY c’est hasbeen, j’ai un blog ainsi que cette instance et je crois que c’est toutes mes obsessions du moment. Je l’espère. Sûrement. Fin, je devrais me calmer maintenant que j’ai un boulot. On croise les doigts haha
Comme je trouve Windows tout pourri, tout moche, j’utilise #Arch + #Hyprland
NB : j’écris majoritairement en français mais il m’arrive régulièrement de poster en anglais. Je fais toujours attention de tagger mes publications en fonction du langage pour que vous puissiez filtrer (si vous le pouvez).
