Interesting insights. I think some of what you mention is broadly applicable/transferable to many other highly technical careers too. Good video.

FYI = i learnt the hard way , THIS IS STRICKLY ENGLISH FOR THE MOMENT, FOR TESTING = READ INSTRUCTIONS/GUIDANCE. 1 st. I had previous test done on Raspberry Pi4 /400 with no problems.

I dont why people are making big deal about remote desktop since you can do pretty much everthing in a shell . Ubuntu wayland has better remote desktop speed than its x11 counterpart. Time has come to move to wayland ecosystem and let old x11 die peacefully.

thanks for this great video

If you're not using computing environments as a *tool* to do your physics research, you're not doing physics research. Stop playing with bleeding edge Wayland. Revert to X11 and get your work done. If Wayland doesn't provide a useful tool, leave it to computer people.

Thanks for this. Cheers

If is not broken don't fix it. Never understood the motivation for wayland, its just grouping a client server in 1 module. Right? Wy?

Great teacher. Thanks a million.

Wait.... girls know about source code too?!

The whole Wayland/x11 stuff has been very confusing for me.. this explained a lot! Thank you!

Once again, 'the Linux community' fails to understand the difference between Remote Desktop and Screen Sharing. Somehow Microsoft understands what Remote Desktop is, in that it is the ability to connect to a computer from remote and use it securely. That means that the local console (the keyboard, video, and mouse physically attached to the computer) are left in a secure state where a passerby could not view, interject, or intercept the remote users use of the computer. Moreover, Microsoft's implementation of RDP is magical in the sense that it handles different screen resolutions, devices such as printers, sound and video so well as to be practically transparent to the remote user. And if you want to see screen sharing done right, look no further than Quick Assist built into Windows 10 and 11. Most so called remote desktop tools for Linux are little more than screen sharing (and primitive screen sharing at that). Some leave the local console completely unsecured while being accessed remotely. Others make an attempt to provide a more secure environment, but fail if you enable display power savings (real bad for OLED), and they all handle sound and video somewhere between badly and not at all... with printing, different screen geometries, etc. being a total mess. It's funny how apologists of Linux will bemoan MSRDPs lackluster security at a protocol level, when the options for Linux leave the console wide open. And nobody is exposing MSRDP port 3389 to the internet directly.... everyone uses a VPN or Mesh network. Microsoft's remote desktop implementation is the one feature that keeps me on Windows... and I hate that. I want to go to Linux. But my workflow consists of dozens of browser windows with dozens of tabs in each, COTS and LoB applications, the need to print to remote printers, different screen layouts when I connect from home or on my laptop, etc. I need to be able to lock my computer screen, mid sentence in composing an email, go home, VPN and RDP back into the office and pick up right where I left off. No closing apps, saving drafts... nothing. Just start working with no unnecessary impediments. I've been held captive by Microsoft for over 20 years with RDP being so good at what it does. I keep hoping that Linux catches up... but somehow it hasn't.

Cannot thank you enough for the series of Wayland videos. Ive been so busy with course work that I haven’t had enough time to continue reading Wayland documentation. 🙏

Very helpful channel. Thank you! Your explanations are simple but really hitting the target. This is not so common. By the way it is so pleasant to see the wisdom woman doing what she obviously loves to do = that's what I call a natural beauty! This is also not so common to see today.

I don't have a single problem running Ubuntu & Wayland on my HP Victus. The laptop is smooth as butter, fast, and responsive. Everything works flawlessly, including Nvidia sound, gestures, etc. I use the laptop mainly for web development, some Java, and a bunch of programs like various office apps, plus some graphic and video editing. Not sure why everyone on TH-cam claims something doesn't work. Zoom from the official repo works fine, Nvidia card is perfect, themes switch seamlessly, and the laptop sleeps and wakes up without any issues.

I remember having used Overleaf to learn Latex a time ago. I wouldn't say it's hard, but it is verbose and uncomfortable, much like HTML (nobody writes plain HTML by choice). I gave up at the end. A couple of months ago somebody told me about Typst. The syntax has a resemblance to Markdown, very simple. What's interesting is the programmatic part. It is a Python module, but it has its own syntax, not so different. You can do the same things that latex do and much more. I only use it to load data from CSV and Yaml files to make tables, and to create a layout, but you can use Math formulae and many other things. I created my first layout in just a couple of hours. I still use Markdown to make simple notes, but now is my go-to tool to make complex layouts. I'm very interested in what you, as a PHD student, have to say about it. Regarding books about productivity, I never heard about that one. Pomodoro is great to get things done fast on a short span, but it is not effective on the long run. The only book that I found useful was Atomic Habits (James Clear). The basic idea is that you start doing little tasks (2 minutes) every day, and then you begin stacking tasks. Also, and this is taken from behavioral psychology, you have to attach the "good habits" to rewards (like eating something sweet), and "bad habits" to punishment (like hiding the remote control to do not watch Netflix).

Te quiero mucho linux girl, thanks for the explanation :D

Very good video and very well explained. Thanks for sharing.

This was a really good video, but it was quite hard to follow simply because of the poor audio leveling, and the static in-between cuts. It sounds like you have Automatic Gain Control enabled on the recorder, which I think is the source of both these problems. I ended up having to correct the audio in-order to watch.

X was designed when thin clients were the norm, it has been decades since

For me, the problem is fcitx5 not supported on my compositor, dwl. Maybe I should switch compositor, but idk, seems like a hard work. Probably gonna switch when the holiday comes though.

I love how you graphically illustrate your ideas here, thanks a lot!

One of my mayor pain points when it comes to Opensource is: How to contribute? How to get into the code base? How to get my changes back into mainstream? If you would cover that for distros like Linux Mint and Debian, desktop environments like XFCE and software like LibreOffice, Firefox, Gimp, that would be awesome!

Can you explore the challenges for C to become a memory safe language?

I think the next interesting topic would be an attempt to implement a simple Wayland compositor. To start, it could be the simplest version, one that only displays client windows. This could be done either using pure C/C++ or based on the Qt Wayland Compositor framework. I think it would be interesting to approach this as a mini-project in the form of a TH-cam tutorial. Anyone could join in and contribute their piece of code, while you explain what each part of the code does.

I think a good analogy would be comparing the X server to the real world. In such a world, we have clients who want to paint pictures, and we have a single painter, which is the X server. The clients want to paint different things, so they continuously send messages to the painter: "paint this for me," "paint that for me." Next to the painter stands another person who arranges the drawings (the equivalent of a window manager). The clients want one picture to be placed here or there, so, through the painter, they communicate with the person arranging the drawings. Additionally, sometimes they want to use accelerated painting (OpenGL), which makes everything even more complicated. In the end, it turns out that the painter (X server) is someone who paints several pictures simultaneously for different clients, constantly intermediates in communication between the clients and the person arranging the pictures (window manager), and occasionally has to handle accelerated painting (OpenGL). On the other hand, if we were to bring the Wayland world into such a real-world example, we would have clients, each of whom is a painter. Each painter calmly paints their own picture independently of anyone else. When a picture is ready, they tell the person who arranges the exhibition (Wayland): "Here’s my picture; arrange it however and wherever you want."

I never understood Wayland even though I am linux nerd 😂

Oh wow surprise technical wayland -reload- overview on TH-cam! Subbed!!! :D

As a “self-taught” CS student, I found these videos to be the most helpful. Yes, I can go look at the source code for like 3 hours, but with this 15 minute video I have a better understanding of the basic structure of Wayland, leaving me with the remaining 2 hrs and 45 mins to learn further and in more depth about Wayland. Thank You.

I don't even understand why it's client-server when i thought that was the whole problem with X. (Ugh, xml, showing how long ago wayland started.)

Yeah of course it will. It's just Red Hat without the trademarks. My guess anyway.

I still haven't been able to figure out what the sudden emergency is that would cause major distro maintainers to speed up the formerly glacial train wreck, which is Wayland, and send it careening into the station; whether its ablaze or not. They couldn't be doing at a worse possible time either because there's currently a massive swell of people looking into switching from Windows to Linux.

This is very useful and interesting thanks Julia ❤

if youv are going to propagandize microsoft sh*tware nvm

"TCG will delegate NV index range to UAPI Group, which will then delegate subrange to us" on systemd!!!! "The Trusted Computing Group is a group formed in 2003 as the successor to the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance which was previously formed in 1999 to implement Trusted Computing concepts across personal computers. Members include Intel, AMD, IBM, Microsoft, and Cisco. The core idea of trusted computing is to give hardware manufacturers control over what software does and does not run on a system by refusing to run unsigned software." NO THANKS NO SYSTEMD FROM GATES FOR ME!!! ALSO if you give the manufacturers control over what software does run or not on your system that is kinda like obeying like a compliant slave to "you will own nothing and you will be happy"

After this video, I have more questions than I had before watching. But this means that I'm actually more interested in finding out what you've shown and want to do more research. There is just enough handholding in this to get me started, where others dumb it down to the level of 'thingy go brrr'. On itself, it's not a complete walkthrough of Wayland, but it got me on my way for sure. So thank you for making this video! ❤

starting to binge watch everything now... your channel topics interests me a lot.

Great video, hope you make more videos about wayland.

This was a nice introduction to Wayland, thanks Julia! I am looking to build my own compositor soon

Wayland simply doesn't work for me yet, given some of my custom things are using xorg specific things to which there either isn't a replacement for at all, or the replacement method is way more complicated. Something like xdotool, there might be some similar program for Wayland, but half of the functions i would use it for won't even exist in Wayland for "security reasons". I could accomplish some if the same functions, but now I'm required to write an entire kwin effect, or maybe an easier kwin script for some things just to achieve the same thing as one xdotool command. As long as this remains the case, Wayland isn't ready for me. However, for the average Joe doing some browsing maybe docs or excels here and there it absolutely is

Wow, it's like some omnipotent deity read my mind to find exactly what I wished for, then granted my wish in the form of this video! Great video, as usual :)

yeah, finally someone is talking more about wayland in understandable way
