So I’m seeing “Window Protocol: wayland” in about:support. Seems like somehow I’m just not affected by this issue.

Shouldn’t this be normalized by the prior distribution of the car population?

Let’s not lower the standard anywhere near Trump.

“crushing it” might be a bit superlative but sure

Away from PC for a while but I’ll check when I’m back.

Interesting. I am not having any issues with Firefox. Maybe I’m already running in XWayland somehow?

After a little more time with it, I’ve noticed that nvidia + sway is causing a lot of flickering on updating rectangles of any window, presumably from a compositing issue. I expected the “explicit sync” fix in the 555 Nvidia driver to fix this, but I’m currently running 555.85. I hope it’s not some other issue.

So right off the bat I tried rebasing from Fedora Sway Atomic to the Wayblue sway-nvidia image, but I got the error:

Package 'rpmfusion-nonfree-release-40-1.noarch' is already in the base

I think because I had previously tried installing nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion. So I reset back to the base image with:

rpm-ostree reset --overlays

After that everything went smoothly and I’m apparently booted with a functional Nvidia driver. Thanks for the help! I’m off to try running some graphics.

Oh thanks! I didn’t notice “Sericea” was the name of this image when I installed it. Wish that had been more obvious.

Wait. Where are you finding the sway image? I’m browsing the images but I don’t see it.

EDIT: Maybe it’s only Way blue that has sway?

Oh I didn’t realize they had one with Sway. That helps!

Buy a portable AC unit and install it in your bedroom or living room window.

EDIT: I have this one that works well at least on a single room: https://www.amazon.com/Vremi-000-BTU-Portable-Conditioner/dp/B084H4B6NB?th=1

Thanks! I had seen the ublue template, but not that blue build tool. Will check it out.

Gotcha, lack of docs is tough.

Ideally I would use an existing atomic distro with both Sway and Nvidia drivers, since I’m currently failing to install those drivers without getting black screen on boot (the issue).

I just clean installed Sway. The last time I tried a rebase from Kinoite to Bazzite it left me with a weird set of flatpaks and removed Firefox somehow. Probably wasn’t a big deal but it was easy enough to start fresh.

And yeah Nix store can live in /var. That’s where it ended up when I used the nix-installer provided by Determinate Systems.

Hmm what you say about the ostree tooling is unfortunate. I was hoping to make my own image at some point. What specifically is overly complex?

Apparently it’s hard to get hired in software. Meanwhile, some of the worst software ever made is being written today. Have you tried using literally any software recently? We’re in this “barely good enough to function while being heavily supplemented by tech support” phase. I guess capitalism breeds incompetence as long as it’s still profitable?

But quiche is tasty!

If your goal is to “self-host” a password manager, you might as well use Keepass + SyncThing.

• free software
• master password protected
• has organization and auto-fill features
• can sync across multiple devices

Usually the downfall of rolling your own password manager is it’s easier to make mistakes and accidentally lock yourself out. Or if you don’t keep backups/replicas then you could easily lose your passwords.
