wayland

I think I have removed all the Wayland bits that I can from my Debian OS. I don&#x27;t need stuff I do not use on my system. I tried Wayland the other day and some of my programs didn&#x27;t even work. That was the last straw. <a href="/tags/debian/" rel="tag">#Debian</a> <a href="/tags/wayland/" rel="tag">#Wayland</a> <a href="/tags/x11/" rel="tag">#X11</a> <a href="/tags/xwindows/" rel="tag">#XWindows</a><br>

<p>On the list of &quot;is it dead and unmaintained?&quot; concerns, the <a href="/tags/sway/" rel="tag">#sway</a> window manager for <a href="/tags/wayland/" rel="tag">#Wayland</a> isn&#x27;t looking healthy either 💔</p><p>It works great for me still, but I&#x27;m starting to worry a bit.</p><p>Is there another tiling WM for Wayland I should look at?

Strange! I have exactly the sane configs on both <a href="/tags/openbsd/" rel="tag">#OpenBSD</a> and <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="/tags/qutebrowser/" rel="tag">#Qutebrowser</a> yet FreeBSD displays the pages differently to OpenBSD. The zeros on webpages on OpenBSD have no internal marks yet FreeBSD zeros have a dot inside them. Fonts are different between the two. Also on FreeBSD I have to run qutebrowser with the nogpu option so it&#x27;ll run under <a href="/tags/wayland/" rel="tag">#Wayland</a>. I never noticed differences like this before on 14.3 but on 15.0 I&#x27;m not quite sure what&#x27;s different yet ?<br>

OK Not that I have anything against <a href="/tags/openbsd/" rel="tag">#OpenBSD</a> but I&#x27;m going to install <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> 15.0 onto my <a href="/tags/thinkpad/" rel="tag">#ThinkPad</a> again as I do miss ZFS and the extensive <a href="/tags/wayland/" rel="tag">#Wayland</a> selection of apps too. Ok I miss full color emoji in the terminal too you got me. But I do still have OpenBSD running on my Dell Optiplex 3080 Tower so I can keep up with developments as I do still like what it is and what they stand for. I guess I&#x27;m just a <a href="/tags/bsd/" rel="tag">#BSD</a> girl and I like them all. <a href="/tags/runbsd/" rel="tag">#RunBSD</a> <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/snac.smithies.me.uk/runbsd.jpg" class="emoji" alt=":runbsd:" title=":runbsd:"> <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/snac.smithies.me.uk/openbsd.png" class="emoji" alt=":openbsd:" title=":openbsd:"> <img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/snac.smithies.me.uk/freebsd.png" class="emoji" alt=":freebsd:" title=":freebsd:"><br>

Right I&#x27;m not interested in starting a flame war but I am interested to see how many folk in 2026 use <a href="/tags/wayland/" rel="tag">#Wayland</a> or <a href="/tags/wayback/" rel="tag">#Wayback</a> and how many use <a href="/tags/x11/" rel="tag">#X11</a> or even <a href="/tags/xlibre/" rel="tag">#Xlibre</a> .

Right since I&#x27;m back on <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> and <a href="/tags/mangowc/" rel="tag">#MangoWC</a> ( <a href="/tags/wayland/" rel="tag">#Wayland</a> ) I think I&#x27;m going to swap back from <a href="/tags/rofi/" rel="tag">#Rofi</a> to <a href="/tags/fuzzel/" rel="tag">#Fuzzel</a> .<br>

<p>Does anyone know of a <a href="/tags/wayland/" rel="tag">#wayland</a> compatible tool that can be used to find the mouse cursor?<br><br>I have a vague memory of a project that put some really flashy bling around the cursor (I can&#x27;t remember if it was always on.. or just when the movement happened).<br><br>I am trying to re-create a feature of <a href="/tags/durden/" rel="tag">#durden</a> / <a href="/tags/arcan/" rel="tag">#arcan</a> which makes your mouse cursor sparkle green after it has been idle for a bit and moves.</p>
