From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Framework vs Dell laptop display comparison (lemmy.world)

In 2024, with GNOME 45, Wayland, and 1.25 fractional scaling, regular DPI displays still look better than HiDPI displays. This is a photo of Discord on two laptops side by side.

The blurry one is the HiDPI display from Framework 13. The sharp one is a regular DPI display from Dell XPS 13. Both laptops.

The difference is even more stark in person.

Even the screenshots from the Framework are blurrier than the screen shots from the Dell.

It's also posaible to open Discord with Wayland directly by editing the exec command in the .desktop file. Can't remember what it was ofd the top of my head, but it's the same for all electron apps.

Add --ozone-platform-hint=auto to the command, I've done it so may times for electron stuff it's engrained into my head now haha. You can check that it works with xlsclients.

Also QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland for QT based apps is handy to know too if they're not behaving.

For me, many electron apps (especially Discord and Spotify) start to spasm out with this. As in, they open blank windows and can't be focused etc. So using spotify-player in foot and canary.discord.com in FF Nightly is the only option.

Discord is best enjoyed in Firefox with uBlock origin anyways, I find it faster and it can't spy on your entire computer!!

Also with Vencord (Which is not in the Mozilla addon store anymore unfortunately, so you'll need to use Tampermonkey or FF Nightly/Dev and compile the extension yourself). Then add an Adblock theme to hide all the premium trash you can get for free with Vencord and voilá, you have yourself a usable, still spying and not E2EE, messenger.

It works but as soon as I close it to the tray, it'll crash
