Out if curiosity I installed in Parallels on my M1 Mac mini. I installed sddm and the KDE Plasma desktop. How can I configure the keyboard layout for sddm?

A proposal has been made for the upcoming Fedora 41, the Anaconda installer, to become a native Wayland app, dropping X11 dependencies.

Raaany serio?
Tyle lat, a ty nawet nie potrafisz grać prawidłowo w obsługę profili kolorów oraz tabletów graficznych...

I to nie to, że nie dowiozłeś nowych funkcjonalności, ale w porównaniu z X11 cofnąłeś się o dekadę...
O ile fakt, że do dzisiaj nie ma portu widgetów pełnego mogę zrozumieć, to nie wina devów od środowiska graficznego tylko Oracle czy też teamu od openjdk to fakt, że w fimie muszę ludzi pracujących na linuxach przymusowo trzymać na x11 bo tak podstawowych rzeczy nie ma to trochę słabo.

Tak wiem. Kiedyś będzie ten rok linxa. Ta.... :troll_face:

Ignoring the reverse hot dog, but I think the new Wayland logo has dropped 😂

Since Microsoft seems to not care about the impact that the + feature has, I am going back to as my daily driver. All my servers run on Debian or its derivatives, work servers run RedHat or Windows, but I have not used a Desktop Linux for quite a while as a daily driver. I've been playing with Debian 12 with Gnome for the past few days, and next I'll be playing with Fedora, which I have not used since the early 2000's. We'll see how fast I can catch up.

BTW, since I work mostly in #VR using #Immersed, that is one of the first things I tested, and I got to say, their work to support multiple virtual monitors with #Wayland+#Gnome has really paid off, it works flawlessly in Debian! I need to test it in Fedora in the next few days. Can't wait for my #Visor to arrive. #WorkInVR #Immersenary

After making my #framework laptop my daily driver, I still had to fix all the #electron applications looking like crap under #wayland (when using fractional scaling).

So another good reason to make a blog post, I guess? :ablobcathappypaws:

Slack, Discord, Spotify, Obsidian, VS-Code, ... now they all look good using 1.25x scaling.

Woo! Just put down a deposit on a @frameworkcomputer

Looking forward to running @pop_os_official on it and, hopefully, building some expansion cards 🙂

The fingerprint sensor of the Framework works perfectly in Pop OS.

I think this is the first time I've owned a Linux laptop where the biometrics worked.

Biggest challenge so far has been setting the right scaling for text. #Wayland's fractional 1.5 seems to work best, but I've also manually boosted some font sizes.
