    According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/security#Use_Wayland

    6.5 Use Wayland

    Prefer using Wayland over Xorg. Xorg’s design predates modern security practices and is considered insecure by many. For example, Xorg applications may record keystrokes while inactive.

    If you must run Xorg, it is recommended to avoid running it as root. Within Wayland, the Xwayland compatibility layer will automatically use rootless Xorg.

    X is less secure.

      Security is a meme used to make you use proprietary or inferior software. Congrats on falling for yet another psyop.

      There is [email protected] and [email protected].

      I mean… “who needs features in 2022” is onto something. But I use both, for various Nvidia and laziness related reasons, and have a dim idea what they do inside, as probably most flamers on the topic.

    Just this year Wayland finally became my default. It’s still broken in a few ways but I’m now on the side of it being a better solution that X.

    Not everyone’s user experience is the same. There’s a lot of use cases that Wayland doesn’t make sense yet.

    Seriously. Once Gnome Night Light works right in it, I’ll switch. Until then, I’m in X at night. Redshift is not a suitable replacement.

      Just disable score in your profile settings, man. That’s what I did. Score has no point, really. If someone disagrees with you, they can either ignore you or expose their reasoning. Votes are useless.

        Or just post from kbin. I only get the upvotes. I’m shielded from all the negativity.

        No, Ernest don’t fix that it’s fine!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
