I’ll take a program that isn’t getting updates anymore or simply wasnt working in my modified environment using slightly more ram and storage over it not working at all.

I have firsthand experience with videogames made for one flavor of Linux not working on my machine due to dependency hell.

This is a good reason for static linking. All the dependencies are built into the binary, meaning it is more portable and future proof.

We don’t need flatpak for this!

I’m excited for my cursor to not get trapped in a window anymore.

On Wayland at least, u can completely disable pointer constraints. Thus, a game window freezes, it doesn’t lock your cursor in it.

With X11, the only solutions I found were basically recompiling the X11 code. Thus, I deal with one game window making my cursor disappear and frozen inside itself, affecting all other Xwayland windows.

Annoying and ridiculous. Hopefully not long before wine-wayland matures enough to fix this.

Or communicate that you aren’t listening. I would want to know, as the speaker, that my words are going in one ear and out the other.

We can use dinit, s6, runit, and openrc.

There are more, but these are all top contenders.

I switched to dinit recently, it uses declarative service management (like systemd unit files). Very clean, fast, lightweight, and portable.

Yes. ~/.mozilla. Its annoying.

You can fix it with a hack by putting a shell script in your path (before the original firefox) that consist of:

#!/bin/sh

HOME='/home/engywuck/.local/share/firefox' /usr/bin/firefox

Call that instead of the original firefox from now on. it will create the “librewolf” folder in ~/.local/share and chuck its junk in there.

Edit: This bug has been open for TWENTY YEARS.

Honestly ridiculous.
