I'm with you on the WARP terminal. Like many of your channel viewers, I have used computers for decades to aid in work and personal activities. I have been just fine using the tools available to me without having to pony up personal info to companies and groups who will give or sell this data about me. Also, I have been just fine without AI. I prefer to do my own reading, research, and many other tasks and let my computer assist me as a tool. So much of the AI model promotes laziness and I don't need or want to be spoon-fed by a technology. Thank you for all you do!

Still team Xorg here. I've had a look at Hyprland on Wayland, and while it's nice, I don't see any killer feature that would do away with dwm. I'm actually about to rewrite and update my suckless builds. 😎 I wrote a similar comment on a video by Brodie, and someone replied »Eventually, we will have better wms and DEs on Wayland«. Yeah, _eventually_ , like in 20 years, when Wayland will be as old as Xorg is now. So why the fuss? And who says that newer is always better to begin with? I'm still on Thunderbird 102 on purpose, since I really don't enjoy the look and feel of »Supernova«, and there's really no way to make it look like older versions of TB. IMO, TB 102 has reached the peak of UI perfection with version 102. Why change that? Unfortunately, there's no other email client good enough to convince me to switch, and terminal clients don't work with modern 2FA. Great. 😑

Hey DT: Great video! Just wanted to point out that at least for *BSD OS's that they wait on adoption of new software (like Wayland) until it becomes proven according to their policies. I love the stability of those systems, but in general their space is definitely servers as opposed to desktops.
When it comes to the Warp Terminal, we need to take an open source terminal and integrate a downloadable LLM that is independent from the internet. It will not collect data and does not require a logon. There are plenty of LLMs out there available even for commercial use.
I couldn't agree more. I would be shocked if someone doesn't seize upon this idea soon and implement it in a new game changing terminal. Hopefully that day comes sooner rather than later.
Hey, DT! You've talked about Fish a lot for your terminal shell. Would ever do a comparison video between Fish and Nushell? I know you have videos on both but your Nushell one was several years ago.
You could make a temp email or alternative email. I do it all the time, but I agree with your reasons for not wanting to give out your information. It's pretty typical among the propriety windows world so it's second nature for average windows users to cough up their private information and install malicious programs.
Wayland is the correct display server like how Rust is the correct programming language. After many years on linux, I'm getting comfortable with X and it's quirks. Finally can solve most issues with ancient nVidia graphics cards on OS upgrades. It will take some time for me to be comfortable switching to Wayland only to experience more churn. One day I will try Rust too. But it all takes time and I rather stick to what I know for now.
@ 4:02 Having a separate file to follow along for terminal command line instruction. I have always set DT on the browser on one workspace and my own terminal open in another workspace. I may try to learn how to have my terminal open on another monitor or even another computer and monitor. I have two older, meaning ancient computers that I have been able to bring back to service with DT's help and others. Heu thanks DT.
Maybe this could be a suggestion for you DT. Ask us students of yours to send in descriptions of our journeys out of the darkness and gloom of WinDoze into the sunshine of Linux including specific ways your videos have helped us.
Using Hyprland from the unstable branch of NixOS on NixOS stable, with an NVIDIA GPU. The only problems I have are with some Xwayland programs and Electron programs. That's about it.
Just my take but I personally don't like the idea of having a compositer and window manager being the same thing. I liked the modularity of xorg. I also liked that each window manager didn't have it's own implementation of a protocol
I am still looking for a linux distro with decent touch support for my Lenovo ThinkPad x380 Yoga. Nice machine, but the touch functionality is quite rarely supported in most distros. Linux Mint recognizes the Wacom hardware as a mouse (scrolling in Cinnamon with touch gestures is not working, along with mutiple other "standard" touch features...). Fedora 40 with Wayland seems to work best in my case. Still not perfect, but it supports all necessary gestures out-of-the-box. With X11 Fedora 40 seems not to support the Wacom input device. In most applications it does not react to touch input. Therefore, Wayland seems to be the way to go for me. So, why are not using touch devices that require Wayland for proper functioning, DT? :-D
Hey DT, I have no idea why this is but all Linux DISTROS have a problem for me. The problem is windows audio adjustments. If I disable them in windows, I get the same audio quality as Linux but I want to copy them over. It is provided by my manufacturer. I also have an issue where Linux will absolutely cap my internet speed to 3mb/s when connected to my personal hotspot. (Doesn't happen when connected to my wifi.) Please provide a fix.
Wayland starts flickering into black until I move my mouse, but otherwise hasn't given me any issues, other than being unable to select specific windows on gpu-screen-recorder.
You are absolutely corrct with Wayland. It's really nice and smooth experience with wayland but it's not ready. I am running Tuxedo OS on my Tuxedo Pulse but it has huge bugs with UI
Biggest problem and reason I dont use x11 (and lots of others) is the multimonitor refreshrate issue. If I had same refresh monitors I would not care about x11 or wayland.
17:50 DT about 'your favorite DEs arent wayland yet'... Xfce and lxqt using i3wm is great, hope to see them working with sway late 2024. Its a very good midterm in messing in the twm text configs and in the DE gui config. Anyway, im on x11 because devuan isnt pipewire ready yet, in debian my sway test was stable since last year... with noveau lol so i see why youre still x11 (nvidea). Many viewers may ask you to try again because your only wayland review (manjaro sway) is outdated by now!
i have mx150 nvidia graphic card with ubuntu 22.04. i heard 24.04 is wayland, so is it ok for me to upgrade to 24.04 or should i just stick with 22.04 because of my old nvidia graphic card.
What you do on your own Linux PCs is fine until you have to work on someone else's Linux PC's where they will always have bash installed but rarely fish - which then means having to learn two shells, rather than just sticking to bash as "the lowest common denominator" on every Linux PC (like vim, sed, awk and other "unfashionable" applications) and adopting the philosophy of "learn once, use everywhere".
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Be honest, how often do you use other people's computers? And, even when you do, do you really think that using bash after having gotten used to fish on your personal machines is so different as to be a problem? Sure, you'll miss a few features, but "downgrading" to bash is nothing more than a minor nuisance. Look, if you happen to constantly ssh into tons of different computers that you can't install your preferred shell on, then yes, having fish on your home rig might make less sense. But for the vast majority of people fish is just fine. If you are talking about scripting, then that is another matter entirely. As far as I know, most fish users don't write fish scripts.
@@robinbernardinis "Be honest, how often do you use other people's computers?" Every day, for the past 20 years I've worked in cyber-security on Linux servers on my customer sites - which I harden to meet their security standards. "And, even when you do, do you really think that using bash after having gotten used to fish on your personal machines is so different as to be a problem?" Why would anyone get used to fish before bash? bash is the first shell you are presented with when you first use Linux. You a describing a scenario that does not exist in the real world. And I cannot comment on a non-existent scenario. "Sure, you'll miss a few features, but "downgrading" to bash is nothing more than a minor nuisance." What "features"? I know bash well, I don't feel it lacks any features that I need. Plus I can transport my environment to a remote (customer) computer by uploading a few dotfiles - that I can then remove when I am done. So tell me, what are these great features that fish has that bash does not? "Look, if you happen to constantly ssh into tons of different computers that you can't install your preferred shell on, then yes, having fish on your home rig might make less sense." Precisely my point. Well done, you got there in the end. "But for the vast majority of people fish is just fine." Ah, no, you didn't quite get there. The "vast majority" of people who use Linux use bash, not fish. A minority of users use fish. Let's keep it factual.
I don't think Solaris and the BSDs will be enough to sustain X11. Yes, X11 will have a large userbase for a long time to come, but the pool of developers and maintainers for X11 is already running dry. When the X11 maintainers themselves are all switching to Wayland because X11 is unmaintainable, this is not a situation that can be solved by having new community members step up to try to replace the existing maintainers. As for positive reasons to switch to Wayland, battery life, gestures, and smooth animations top the list. Kinetic scrolling is a big quality of life improvement for me.
Just updated my NVIDIA Arch and booted into what looked like a 300x200 KDE environment. Took me 2 hours to figure out the default was changed to Wayland (and an X11 toggle on SDDM). Changed the kernel param for drm and it's been a flashing mess. What a stupid idea that was.
Yeah, I recently bought a gaming rig and was absolutely shocked to see that NVIDIA and Wayland are so conflicting. It is about to change in the coming months with the new nvidia driver though, at least so it appears
As for AI in Linux and "there is no good or evil software", it depends on how much of the "element of free will" there is in such software. I know this may sound abstract, but it isn't.
So if the AI runs on your computer, it's a daemon and you are trading mem/cpu for some convenience. If the AI is a foreign agency (runs remotely), you have introduced a potentially unpredictable user. So it's counter to minimalism and concise optimization or it's bad security practice. That's my take. It's a pretty potentially dangerous interaction in the second scenario either accidentally or from a clandestine context.
Laughs in Manjaro. Yup, yet another reason to stick to Manjaro. Can't tell how many times holding up packages for testing has saved my ass but they have been a lot.
The real question is what would actual OS AI integration look like? A Windows laptop with a button that opens up a slide-out webview sidebar with Bing Chat--that can barely tell you how to empty the recycle bin yourself--in no way deserves to be called integration. It's Humane AI Pin/Rabbit R1 all over again, just without the stupid hardware.
Wayland.... still no native wine/proton support. Still janky Nvidia support. Still has issues with some windows (like game launchers that run in the background, it really hates those). Still has issues with context menus being black in apps. Maybe by the time x11 is officially ended in 2035, Wayland will be "ready".
wine is really close to being fully functional with the wayland backend, and I hear wayland works really well if the newest nvidia driver. I actually have more issues on my hardware with pipewire than wayland for some reason.
You really do not understand the basics of support. 1. Nvidia problems are an issue with Nvidia not Wayland. Nvidia is a closed source driver so it is their responsibility to provide Wayland support. 2. Many people game on Wayland. Wine has lots and lots of bugs and regressions. For any particular game you need to configure it correctly on X11. Wayland does not have any more or less problems than x11 with regards to games. Just look at the long lost of programs, not just games, that do not work with wine on xorg. It is a very long list. The difference is the Wayland bugs are going to be better supported as support for x11 is minimal at best. Just another uneducated Wayland troll.
I daily drive KDE Wayland with Nvidia. It's fine. Is it prefect? No. Is it useable? Yes. X will not continue to be updated, it's days are numbered. Instead of complaining about Wayland having issues, help fix it.
So, I'm still using xmonad on Arch and with Wayland becoming more and more prominent over x11, am I going to have to move away from xmonad at some point?
@@DarthVader11912 DT basically answered my question at the very end of this one, when talking about qtile. lol I truly hope that Arch never stops shipping it.
You don't have to do anything. You can use DOS if you wish. You can download and compile x11 for yourself if you wish. At some point you may or may not migrate to Wayland, your choice. The issue is that x11 is minimally maintained so that means no bug fixes, no security updates, and no new features. You will need to migrate to Wayland if you have those needs.
There's a Nvidia driver for Wayland now, but the real question is why use Nvidia on Linux at all. Or Brave over Firefox. But I don't think asking these questions matter, because they're red flags, and the person generating red flags is not going to be honest about it. Like why ignore that librewolf exists? You're just not going to get that answer, because it's clearly ignored on purpose, and forcing an answer will generate an excuse. You're better off considering why things are portrayed the way they are for yourself.
I've been using Linux now for about 30 years Wayland is perfectly usable and I have been using it for about a year exclusively now, and considering everything is basically dropping support for X11, good luck keeping at it. You use NVidia on Linux? no wonder you are having troubles with it. There an Open Source way things are done, then there is the proprietary BS NVidia way
What amazes me about Wayland is after 15 years, it’s still experimental!
And still doesn't have the features from X11.

You could make a temp email or alternative email. I do it all the time, but I agree with your reasons for not wanting to give out your information. It's pretty typical among the propriety windows world so it's second nature for average windows users to cough up their private information and install malicious programs.
the WT video was nice, enjoyed it
hey DT, have you tried of Veloren?
Wayland is the correct display server like how Rust is the correct programming language. After many years on linux, I'm getting comfortable with X and it's quirks. Finally can solve most issues with ancient nVidia graphics cards on OS upgrades. It will take some time for me to be comfortable switching to Wayland only to experience more churn. One day I will try Rust too. But it all takes time and I rather stick to what I know for now.
2050 will be the year of wayland on desktop.
@ 4:02 Having a separate file to follow along for terminal command line instruction.
I have always set DT on the browser on one workspace and my own terminal open in another workspace.
I may try to learn how to have my terminal open on another monitor or even another computer and monitor.
I have two older, meaning ancient computers that I have been able to bring back to service with DT's help and others.
Heu thanks DT.
Maybe this could be a suggestion for you DT.
Ask us students of yours to send in descriptions of our journeys out of the darkness and gloom of WinDoze into the sunshine of Linux including specific ways your videos have helped us.
Unless it has recently changed, cant calibrate a monitor with Wayland.
Wayland+Gnome are IBM's plot to prevent year of the Linux desktop.
Seems like it
Hyprland on NVIDIA is apparently quite good. I would say that Wayland is 99% of the way there.
Yeah I run hyprland with Wayland and Nvidia GPU works fine screen tearing is inexistent
@@NeverTrust298 :D
I've had a couple issues running the same thing but in general I def agree
Using Hyprland from the unstable branch of NixOS on NixOS stable, with an NVIDIA GPU. The only problems I have are with some Xwayland programs and Electron programs. That's about it.
@@atemoc Ah, NixOS. I both love it and hate it.
Just my take but I personally don't like the idea of having a compositer and window manager being the same thing. I liked the modularity of xorg. I also liked that each window manager didn't have it's own implementation of a protocol
I am still looking for a linux distro with decent touch support for my Lenovo ThinkPad x380 Yoga. Nice machine, but the touch functionality is quite rarely supported in most distros. Linux Mint recognizes the Wacom hardware as a mouse (scrolling in Cinnamon with touch gestures is not working, along with mutiple other "standard" touch features...).
Fedora 40 with Wayland seems to work best in my case. Still not perfect, but it supports all necessary gestures out-of-the-box.
With X11 Fedora 40 seems not to support the Wacom input device. In most applications it does not react to touch input.
Therefore, Wayland seems to be the way to go for me.
So, why are not using touch devices that require Wayland for proper functioning, DT? :-D
Hey DT, thanks very much for you insights on Wayland, I just wanted to try it out, but I kind of regret it now
Hey DT, what happened to your Gopher and Gemini sites?
Hey DT, I have no idea why this is but all Linux DISTROS have a problem for me. The problem is windows audio adjustments. If I disable them in windows, I get the same audio quality as Linux but I want to copy them over. It is provided by my manufacturer. I also have an issue where Linux will absolutely cap my internet speed to 3mb/s when connected to my personal hotspot. (Doesn't happen when connected to my wifi.) Please provide a fix.
I will probably switch to Wayland when AutoKey supports it, which it doesn't, yet.
Wayland starts flickering into black until I move my mouse, but otherwise hasn't given me any issues, other than being unable to select specific windows on gpu-screen-recorder.
👍
You are absolutely corrct with Wayland. It's really nice and smooth experience with wayland but it's not ready. I am running Tuxedo OS on my Tuxedo Pulse but it has huge bugs with UI
Biggest problem and reason I dont use x11 (and lots of others) is the multimonitor refreshrate issue. If I had same refresh monitors I would not care about x11 or wayland.
fish as the default shell is one hot take
Yeah i roll my eyes everytime i see some new product with ai integration
17:50 DT about 'your favorite DEs arent wayland yet'... Xfce and lxqt using i3wm is great, hope to see them working with sway late 2024. Its a very good midterm in messing in the twm text configs and in the DE gui config. Anyway, im on x11 because devuan isnt pipewire ready yet, in debian my sway test was stable since last year... with noveau lol so i see why youre still x11 (nvidea). Many viewers may ask you to try again because your only wayland review (manjaro sway) is outdated by now!
i have mx150 nvidia graphic card with ubuntu 22.04. i heard 24.04 is wayland, so is it ok for me to upgrade to 24.04 or should i just stick with 22.04 because of my old nvidia graphic card.
idk about nvidia drivers, but my integrated intel uhd 620 can handle wayland peacefully
Because OBS, screen captures are still wonky on Wayland
QGIS doesn't work on Wayland. Some software will take time to be rewritten and others may never get there.
The only porgrammers that will be left out without a job in the future are the ones overly using AI
There is another thing I install first on any Linux distro is to install fish.
What you do on your own Linux PCs is fine until you have to work on someone else's Linux PC's where they will always have bash installed but rarely fish - which then means having to learn two shells, rather than just sticking to bash as "the lowest common denominator" on every Linux PC (like vim, sed, awk and other "unfashionable" applications) and adopting the philosophy of "learn once, use everywhere".
no, fish is good. use it. @@terrydaktyllus1320
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Be honest, how often do you use other people's computers? And, even when you do, do you really think that using bash after having gotten used to fish on your personal machines is so different as to be a problem? Sure, you'll miss a few features, but "downgrading" to bash is nothing more than a minor nuisance.
Look, if you happen to constantly ssh into tons of different computers that you can't install your preferred shell on, then yes, having fish on your home rig might make less sense. But for the vast majority of people fish is just fine.
If you are talking about scripting, then that is another matter entirely. As far as I know, most fish users don't write fish scripts.
@@robinbernardinis "Be honest, how often do you use other people's computers?"
Every day, for the past 20 years I've worked in cyber-security on Linux servers on my customer sites - which I harden to meet their security standards.
"And, even when you do, do you really think that using bash after having gotten used to fish on your personal machines is so different as to be a problem?"
Why would anyone get used to fish before bash? bash is the first shell you are presented with when you first use Linux. You a describing a scenario that does not exist in the real world. And I cannot comment on a non-existent scenario.
"Sure, you'll miss a few features, but "downgrading" to bash is nothing more than a minor nuisance."
What "features"? I know bash well, I don't feel it lacks any features that I need. Plus I can transport my environment to a remote (customer) computer by uploading a few dotfiles - that I can then remove when I am done.
So tell me, what are these great features that fish has that bash does not?
"Look, if you happen to constantly ssh into tons of different computers that you can't install your preferred shell on, then yes, having fish on your home rig might make less sense."
Precisely my point. Well done, you got there in the end.
"But for the vast majority of people fish is just fine."
Ah, no, you didn't quite get there. The "vast majority" of people who use Linux use bash, not fish. A minority of users use fish. Let's keep it factual.
Hey DT can you talk about openSUSE and its goodness ?
OpenSuse Aeon is excellent
@chrisfromgreece Nah we don’t worship an OS
@@williamjp7352 You bet! Been a Kalpa testers for some time
I don't think Solaris and the BSDs will be enough to sustain X11. Yes, X11 will have a large userbase for a long time to come, but the pool of developers and maintainers for X11 is already running dry. When the X11 maintainers themselves are all switching to Wayland because X11 is unmaintainable, this is not a situation that can be solved by having new community members step up to try to replace the existing maintainers. As for positive reasons to switch to Wayland, battery life, gestures, and smooth animations top the list. Kinetic scrolling is a big quality of life improvement for me.
Thanks for sharing (from a Mac OS user) :)
I still use X11, wayland flickered and made the edges of my monitors look wierd...
“Hey DT” section has become “Het dt why don’t you do what I do”
the wayland not being ready thing is only really true on nvidia on intel/amd is is good
Just updated my NVIDIA Arch and booted into what looked like a 300x200 KDE environment. Took me 2 hours to figure out the default was changed to Wayland (and an X11 toggle on SDDM). Changed the kernel param for drm and it's been a flashing mess. What a stupid idea that was.
Yeah, I recently bought a gaming rig and was absolutely shocked to see that NVIDIA and Wayland are so conflicting. It is about to change in the coming months with the new nvidia driver though, at least so it appears
@@darthcabs we shall see sir.
As for AI in Linux and "there is no good or evil software", it depends on how much of the "element of free will" there is in such software. I know this may sound abstract, but it isn't.
So if the AI runs on your computer, it's a daemon and you are trading mem/cpu for some convenience. If the AI is a foreign agency (runs remotely), you have introduced a potentially unpredictable user. So it's counter to minimalism and concise optimization or it's bad security practice. That's my take. It's a pretty potentially dangerous interaction in the second scenario either accidentally or from a clandestine context.
Idea: run a keylogger when you're recording a video.
Don't have to type everything twice that way.
Me making this comment from wayland with my Rtx 3070 with no bugs so far.
dt you are a smart man
Laughs in Manjaro. Yup, yet another reason to stick to Manjaro. Can't tell how many times holding up packages for testing has saved my ass but they have been a lot.
The real question is what would actual OS AI integration look like? A Windows laptop with a button that opens up a slide-out webview sidebar with Bing Chat--that can barely tell you how to empty the recycle bin yourself--in no way deserves to be called integration. It's Humane AI Pin/Rabbit R1 all over again, just without the stupid hardware.
_Hey tux, compress each of the directories in this path to their own compressed files_
>done, user!
I assume that's how it's gonna go down
I think right now it is better off as a browser based context sensitive encyclopedia.
coming from i3, I use wayland and nvidia. It is working here
Hey, DT!!
I dare you to use TempleOS for a week.
Re: FISH It is a good shell, but I suspect you already know it's not POSIX compliant and should not be used as a login shell.
Hopefully he learned that lesson.
That said, I'm gonna just go back to my pc running nushell at login
/s
Weird. I use Wayland Plasma and it just works. Probably better than Xorg
Wayland.... still no native wine/proton support. Still janky Nvidia support. Still has issues with some windows (like game launchers that run in the background, it really hates those). Still has issues with context menus being black in apps. Maybe by the time x11 is officially ended in 2035, Wayland will be "ready".
the dev experience is way better tho
wine is really close to being fully functional with the wayland backend, and I hear wayland works really well if the newest nvidia driver. I actually have more issues on my hardware with pipewire than wayland for some reason.
@@JohnDoe-qj7uq idk...seems...should I trust you?
I'm so glad I watched this video from DT, because now I know where the jank be.
You really do not understand the basics of support.
1. Nvidia problems are an issue with Nvidia not Wayland. Nvidia is a closed source driver so it is their responsibility to provide Wayland support.
2. Many people game on Wayland. Wine has lots and lots of bugs and regressions. For any particular game you need to configure it correctly on X11. Wayland does not have any more or less problems than x11 with regards to games.
Just look at the long lost of programs, not just games, that do not work with wine on xorg. It is a very long list.
The difference is the Wayland bugs are going to be better supported as support for x11 is minimal at best.
Just another uneducated Wayland troll.
hyprland is a great wayland compositor
I daily drive KDE Wayland with Nvidia. It's fine. Is it prefect? No. Is it useable? Yes.
X will not continue to be updated, it's days are numbered. Instead of complaining about Wayland having issues, help fix it.
DT: "I will never install software that asks me to set up a account"
Also DT 5 minutes later: "I'm fine with AI on Linux"
"Wayland isn't ready", more like novideo isn't ready.
Fish is fantastic except I wish it was POSIX compliant
Hey DT, please review Ollama and Local LLM. How it can help our Linux workflow.
So, I'm still using xmonad on Arch and with Wayland becoming more and more prominent over x11, am I going to have to move away from xmonad at some point?
Unless Arch doesn't ship xorg anymore no.
@@DarthVader11912 DT basically answered my question at the very end of this one, when talking about qtile. lol I truly hope that Arch never stops shipping it.
You don't have to do anything. You can use DOS if you wish. You can download and compile x11 for yourself if you wish.
At some point you may or may not migrate to Wayland, your choice.
The issue is that x11 is minimally maintained so that means no bug fixes, no security updates, and no new features. You will need to migrate to Wayland if you have those needs.
WT is DT's evil twin 🤣
KDE Neon 6.0 switched to Wayland. The only difference I've noticed is the login screen. And that's just cosmetic difference. not functional.
There's a Nvidia driver for Wayland now, but the real question is why use Nvidia on Linux at all. Or Brave over Firefox. But I don't think asking these questions matter, because they're red flags, and the person generating red flags is not going to be honest about it. Like why ignore that librewolf exists? You're just not going to get that answer, because it's clearly ignored on purpose, and forcing an answer will generate an excuse. You're better off considering why things are portrayed the way they are for yourself.

Hey DT, why would use Wayland? Did you really have to!
You don't call it Linux, it's GNU/Linux, shame on you DT.
Hey, DT, do you have any good command lines for picking up an AI girl friend?
I've been using Linux now for about 30 years
Wayland is perfectly usable and I have been using it for about a year exclusively now, and considering everything is basically dropping support for X11, good luck keeping at it.
You use NVidia on Linux? no wonder you are having troubles with it. There an Open Source way things are done, then there is the proprietary BS NVidia way
can doom emacs run doom?
NVIDIA 555 drivers would fix a lot of those bugs...
