The Supermicro X11DPU model motherboard stands for

X11 (motherboard series)

@splitshockvirus X11 means that it can at least still run Xorg, next version will only run Wayland, Xorg will segfault 🤪

@m0xee @splitshockvirus

dont say things like x11 segfaulting. some of us dont like anything else :D

also, good evening !

@ringo Personally, I have no problem with Wayland, unlike systemd and pulseaudio which are complete and utter garbage, I'm using it on machines that have video adapters capable of it and Wayland kinda just works for me, I have no warm and fuzzy feelings about X11 either, I think it's rather bad from dev's standpoint, but as a user I don't care.
I just know everyone loves Wayland… OMG, does this mean that I'm trooling? 😱

i've been using linux since 1998 and see no advantage to wayland just yet.

what's any better about it ?

:)
@ringo Same here, I've been using it since a.out binaries were still a thing, I've been a Gentoo user for over a decade — no one should ever use it, it's the worst! Well, unless you're a huge fan of gdb and like spending hours in it trying to figure out what's causing the segfault after upgrade. Anyway, back to topic, Waylang… I've decided to check it out when I was trying to solve smooth scrolling issue in Firefox, you know, the tearing — it solves it perfectly, never looked back. I have zero problems with it because unlike systemd it only replaces one component of the system and does it well. I've been using i3, but Sway is a perfect WM for me (I only use it and patched dwm on my machines) — the way it interacts with Wayland is very straightforward, configuration is easy, one swaymsg command and you have a differen resolution, you want different scaling on another display — there, have it. You should remember well that RandR extension wasn't always there, you used to have to restart the X server just to get another display running or changing resolution, Xorg still has a lot of legacy code, Wayland doesn't and it has all these nice things that they've figured out through years baked right in and it was developed basically by the same people who do Xorg. I don't see anything wrong with it. It might not work well on your hardware — that is quite a serious reason not to like it, but for me it works perfecty. Losing X11 forwarding was a pity — but on the other hand, I think I can count the times I've used it for anything serious with fingers of one hand — I'm perfectly fine with doing things over VNC or even… not using fucking GUI at all 😂

interesting analysis.


for me the whole situation has been remedied by 'smooth scrolling'

with regards to that 'tearing'

but all things considered, im a trogdolite even after using linux since 1997 and wants the damn thing to just work..


i have hardware accelleration via integrated gfx and honestly i dont like doing extra tinkering just to have a thing work.

after 27 years they should be able to make the OS just install and work out of the box, the system and framework has been designed for such to facilitate untowards almost every hardware configuration imaginable. :)
