Think twice about Wayland. It breaks everything!

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

The Wayland project seems to operate like they were starting a greenfield project, whereas at the same time they try to position Wayland as "the X11 successor", which would clearly require a lot of thought about not breaking, or at least providing a smooth upgrade path for, existing software.

How To Use GitHub Gists For Publishing Articles

GitHub Gists may be used not only for code snippets sharing but as a publishing platform for your articles.

Features And Restrictions Of GitHub Gists

Each gist is a git repo with restrictions and features:

  • You can't create folders in any branch of the repo.
  • Each file in the master branch larger than 1MB risks to be truncated so you can't add zip archive to master. But you may keep additional large files at another branches which can't be viewed on the gist page.
  • If you want to use images in your article but wish non-embedded images to be hidden on the gist page then you may keep them in non-master branch and reference by .//raw//foobar.jpg.
