  • You either come up with something like frog-protocols to try and actually get things done, or you can wait for Wayland devs to endlessly bikeshed. Getting some amount of harmless fragmentation on an open source project seems much better than waiting 4 years (and counting) for them to start actually working on implementing HDR.








  • I’m running Wayland. I do feel that Plasma is using my iGPU to render the desktop since it’s quite noticeable some stutters and lower performance compared to disabling the iGPU and having both monitors on my dGPU, but unfortunately I can’t really chose what gets rendered by what. On Windows, this setup works fine, I can chose Firefox to use the “power saving” or whatever and it runs on my iGPU, videos get decoded by it.

    I tried plugging my monitors on my motherboard (I have a HDMI and DP outputs) and it works as expected, everything renders on the iGPU and I’d need prime-run for my games, though this is far from ideal since I lose VRR and HDR.




  • Instead of focusing efforts into maintaining and improving their current products, of which many lack basic features, Proton decides to (in less than a month it seems) expand their portfolio into crypto bro and AI grifter territory.

    I was already quite annoyed and unhappy with Proton’s services lacking things and the steep price (13€ a month and I can’t even use unlimited addresses for my custom domain), but this is the last straw. Fortunately I was already planning to move out so I’m able to just set everything up tomorrow and be done with it. I’m planning to get Migadu’s micro plan, move back to Bitwarden and get that Hetzner 1TB StorageShare, the three combined will be cheaper than 13€ a month and I’ll be getting more bang for my buck
