Ok, I guess that figures.

Not sure if half-serious or not, but since I’ve read that a couple of times now, by that logic, we really don’t know what anything is.

Yes, it fills the screen the moment I select the X11 session. I even looked it up, Wayland just can’t do it.

I tried it on KDE (or rather, it forced me to after it simply updated to Wayland by default). I tried to set it up correctly, but it just didn’t quite work.

I also need no fractional scaling, but some software does not honor that anyway (e.g. VST interfaces).

Simply reducing the resolution is a simple fix, also easier on the GPU, but Wayland will not fill the screen and intead just shows the tiny original 1:1 image in the middle.

It may be the future, but it’s unusable for me.

I have a high dpi screen. Upscaling does not perfectly work for me in every program, but simply setting it to Full HD does work and looks fine.

However, when I set it to the lower resolution in Wayland, I have 50% of the display active with black bars all around.

So far, there seems to be no fix for this?

Same thing happens if you start older, lower resolution fullscreen apps (retro games and such).

Unfortunately, disagree.

Last time I checked it still had double menus all around the place, not a sign of a “polished” experience.

And since a lot of users still recommend to install the dash to dock extension before doing anything else, doesn’t seem plug & play, either.

Self-help singh would disagree.

There’s a bit of hyperbolism and distortion in that comment.

So first of all, the FSF did not create Libreboot, that was just a coreboot distribution by one (or two) people and I would not call it shitty, it had prebuilt binaries with working GRUB configs for the models supported, even allowing for full disk encryption with a well written guide on how to do so.

Secondly, it’s hard to create a chain of trust without trusing the hardware. As long as the manufacturer remains in control of any part of it, you will get the same situation thay we have now. I would rather use a deblobbed device than wait for obscure security features that provide no real-world benefit to my use case.

However, I think this may not catch on. Hundreds of millions of people use completely outdated phones with spyware of some form on them right now, they simply don’t care.

When you’ve had too much wine, that’s ammoorree.

What do you mean, not safe? I always thought “do not use in your ear canal” was just a joke they wrote on the packaging. Like, actually good one, what else are you gonna do with it?

Hey, just out of curiosity, which Debian version did you install and when?

The Trixie release shouldn’t mess with your sources at all, just because 12 is being moved to oldstable, you shouldn’t have to do anything.

You wrote that you run a headless server, so when you command an update, it lists you all obsolete packages with a request to run autoremove. Did you miss that or update some other way?

Worst case, if you got a new kernel (200-300M) every week and never removed old ones, you’d end up with 10G obsolete data a year. That’s about what I usually see with old Windows update files in the disk cleanup utility.

Not great either, but at least in the default configuration, Ext4 leaves a 5% reserved space, so that files can’t fill up your partition and make it unresponsive. Windows doesn’t do that…

You’re pointing to my colleague?
