@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)* I recently started writing nix overlay stacks to drop x11 from my closures completely - my understanding of "wayland-only" changed from that...08:44:16
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI only very rarely use X11 anything. Mostly if I need to get Element out for something.08:45:16
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI don't have Xwayland disabled but easily could, especially because I assume there's a way to make Element use Wayland.08:45:43

Yeah, the nixos ozone wayland env var is what you want for that
08:53:32
@uep:matrix.orguepyeah, i have that set08:54:32
@uep:matrix.orguepthese days i'm not sure anything would use xwayland, and I'd like to know about it if it did, but I haven't disabled it08:55:15
@uep:matrix.orguepnot even for x11 forwarding that I recall using in a long time, mostly waypipe is fine08:56:47
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)I run sway with a custom tmux-inspired window switcher. Hitting tab gives me all the into on window/workspace/display, including whether it runs xwayland or xdg_shell. These days steam is the only thing running xwayland.09:03:14
@grimmauld:grapevine.grimmauld.deGrimmauld (any/all)And freecad, by default - needs freecad-qt6 or freecad-wayland...09:04:01
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ Isn't Nvidia one of the main reasons for people still on Xorg nowadays? 15:55:20
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️There's no real data on this either so 🥲15:55:46
@sigmasquadron:matrix.orgSigmaSquadrona11y is also a big reason afaik.16:45:33

a11y is also a big reason afaik.
Yes, that too, but that's a desktop-agnostic issue, not just related to GNOME
17:26:23
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ I think DIY distributions like NixOS should still offer the xorg session until it's fully deprecated in upstream. 17:28:24
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️ It also allows for nixpkgs to alert users of GNOME xorg session removal 17:28:59
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️Since afaik the release notes for 25.05 do not mention this so nixpkgs would be rug-pulling users who do use the xorg session if it were to happen in 25.1117:31:59
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️I also believe that plasma 6 still allows users to explicitly select the xorg session.17:32:48
@normalcea:matrix.orgjasi 🏳️‍⚧️That's just my thoughts17:34:06
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Ross I don't believe the release notes are expected to predict every breaking change that will happen in the following release. That's what that release's notes are for. 17:34:14

since plasma 6.4, that's only possible if kwin-x11 is installed, otherwise the session is broken.
17:34:30
@sigmasquadron:matrix.orgSigmaSquadronbut it's still installed by default until upstream KDE tells distros to stop shipping it, which will only happen in Plasma 7.17:35:22

@andrew15_5:matrix.orgAndrew Good news: I finally faced this issue again. Bad news: idk which extension it is: burn-my-windows, compiz-windows-effect. 16:07:56
@andrew15_5:matrix.orgAndrewI also don't know if there are any other ones that are bad.16:18:30
@andrew15_5:matrix.orgAndrew* I also don't know if there are any other ones that are bad. But at least I got something after all this time.16:18:44
@k900:0upti.meK900Well turn them off one by one and see?16:34:09

@o-santi:matrix.orgLeonardo Santiagofor some reason the default gnome keyring is not unlocking on login, neither by password nor by fingerprint (and the password should be the same as the login one)17:19:57
@o-santi:matrix.orgLeonardo Santiagoit does do it on my desktop, but on my laptop it does not17:20:17
