There are many apps that has certain features broken on xwayland but work correctly on x11. For example, a very widespread issue in Substance Painter is that on xwayland color picker mode makes the whole screen black but works correctly on x11.
It will work for a while but it will lag behind in terms of integrations, features, and eventually it will also reach EOS/EOSL and might not even get bugfixes backported anymore.
KDE Plasma 6.8 will be the first KDE Plasma release to remove the X11 backend, going Wayland-only. In KDE Plasma 6.8, there will be no X11 session on the login screen.
This is a big change. I will now need a separate DE for x11.
I only used something similar to mess around with Hytale modding a bit, but it was only easy because there was fully ready-to-use premade solution. But in general, if you’re willing to go that way, I think the most simple option would be to create a distrobox with ubuntu/debian/fedora/arch (depending on which distro covers things you need better), install vs code there (using native package manager of given distribution), and then distrobox-export VS Code from that distrobox. Then you can simply manage everything inside of distrobox using full power of distribution you chose. To make things even better, distrobox has automatic passthrough of most hardware. For Nvidia in particular, you need to pass flag “–nvidia” when doing “distrobox-create”. After that, you can even use game engines like Unity or Godot from distrobox with full GPU passthrough.
Well they basically forked Bazzite DX image and customized that… The hyprland fork author stopped maintaining it 8 months ago so it’s not gonna work anymore with any recent Bazzite versions. So what they did is how Bazzite itself was created in the first place - by forking Fedora Atomic image and customizing it. I wouldn’t really count this as “Bazzite supports other DE/WM”, but yeah, if someone decided to go this far and make a fork like this then great, you can use it and hope they’ll keep maintaining it.
You can write your own systemd services and you can customize your Plasma using panel colorizer. You can go a bit further and rpm-ostree install kvantum and get even more ricing freedom. You can’t however make it use other init system or other DE/WM. It’s still quite good for what it is.
I kinda agree, but it can also be pain in the ass. For example, using flatpak VS Code is massive pain in the ass. You end up needing to do tons of tricky workarounds for all kinds of language server/formatter/etc addons to work properly. It’s okay when you only need to do it once for a single language (Rust, for example), but it becomes very annoying when every new addon you install is highly likely to need you to write some flatpak-spawn based wrapper scripts in ~/.local/bin or whatever extra userspace bin folder you added to your PATH.
This is one of the reasons I switched to Gentoo in early May. The way systemd managed that userfield situation wasn’t nice at all. There is no reason to assume they will not do the same when asked to implement something worse. On the other hand, if they declined that change, it would mean they would most definitely decline a worse change. It is a great motivation to move away. There are way more reasons to move away from systemd, yet I wasn’t aware before this happened, so it was also a trigger to do some deeper research on other technical concerns as well.
Can’t wait until they introduce an option to turn off broken font antialiasing. It’s painful to look at.

What does this mean?
End result is that aside from guests not having HW acceleration for thing like video playback, things just work like with normally installed programs. Double-click an icon, and it launches.
The same but with automatic hardware passthrough is easy with distrobox and distrobox-export. Or is it not the same?
Goodbye X11… Wait, it’s not 6.8 yet… But I think about it every update.
Porn will not fry anyones brain, lol.
Even before internet we managed to find and pass around porn mags, so it’s as pointless as the war on drugs.
In practice it’s pointless, but in its reasoning it’s actively harmful because it’s an attack on healthy sex self-education.
Microsoft is losing Builders fast.
Good.
This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.
No, Windows needs to lose more users. Hope they never change.
Wdym? UK started all of this. They’ve had age verification working since summer 2025, then EU joined and got it implemented in autumn for many sites like X for example where any NSFW content requires age verification (for more than half a year now), and US only started coming up with similar stupid laws almost a year afterwards.
Scientists don’t work on mundane problems. AI need training to solve mundane tasks. Just take stackoverflow as the literal example. It’s not science. We might need a new profession to produce training material for arbitrary areas of expertise, not limited to research level topics. A job like this might be talking about such topics on a searchable forum, for example. Each post can be evaluated by a separate AI system to assign score points to it. I don’t know whether this sounds more dystopian or fun. It’s definitely not that far from social credit systems.
Just use it to replace stack overflow. That was never a good thing. ;)
It was and is a good thing. I think it’s a huge problem that when it fades away future next generations of AI will not be able to learn from it. And the culture at that point will be to depend on AI instead of having sites like those, so even getting it back isn’t going to work. Honestly I think maybe we need a new job: “experts” who just do some fun highly thematic stuff and post results online to train AI.
There’s nothing fucked up in realizing that the mere fact that there are existing adults with such body types, proportions and features, completely and utterly destroys the idea that it is in any way unnatural, unhealthy or immoral to be attracted to such body types, proportions and features. Having said that, you can simply consider that every anime loli is actually a 600 year old vampire.
If you consider attraction to petite / compact / small body types as pdf, then my answer to your question is yes, and moreover I consider this kind of taste way more common and less questionable compared to lgbtq stuff (even though I’m totally fine with that as well). Moreover, it’s only in west people look like 40 when they’re like 16, in east people often look compact and petite for most if not all of their lives, so that your western mind bugs are seen as even more hypocritical there.
Substance Painter, ZBrush and Houdini are all most likely will still benefit from x11 in one way or another. They all work on Wayland as well, but some particular features either don’t work at all or are buggy. There is Blender, Ucupaint, etc, they can do all the same things, but not on the same level.
