Comment Chinese State Media and Rueters (Score 2, Interesting) 103

Maybe it is time for Rueters to find real news sources other that the Chinese government. Instead of quoting "Chinese State Media" they should just site that "Supreme Chinese leader Xing says". What is wrong with Reuters. It has become total garbage. It has zero integrity at all.

Comment Artix releases XLibre for regular use (Score 1) 134

Well, Xlibre has traveled from an untested vaporware fork to a fully usable package in Artix Linux, now released as a normal package. Now you can install Artix Linux with a choice of Wayland, X.org, or Xlibre for your graphics server.

See the release notes:

The xlibre packages have been moved from the galaxy-gremlins (testing) repository to the galaxy (stable) one.
The xorg packages are also still available, so users can choose which packages to install and run.

For more information about XLibre on Artix see wiki page https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Si...

Comment Re:Wayland mostly works for me (Score 1) 134

Actually - NO. Those features in desktop managers are just client programs that have Remote access.

Wayland does not do this.

And X has it without the need for helper programs. It is just built in. And it works for ANY application, not just KDE or Gnome.... neither of which I consider very usable, but you can use that bloatware if you want.

So - please don't peddle soft lies by confusing facts.

Because automated setup of soft mixing in ALSA is a pain in the ass. It's that simple.

ALSA, otherwise, does work just fine.

Pulse, being a non-kernel software mixer, requires much less setup To Just Work.

Of course, in standard Poettering fashion, bolted onto this simple thing that we needed is about 45lbs of cancer.

No - if anything it is the other way around
