SteamLink not allowing me to stream just my desktop (rather than a specific game) on Wayland is really the only thing keeping me on X11 at the moment. I use that feature almost nightly to keep watching something from my PC while I cook dinner

I have cd && clear

Lazy aliases unite!
I wish I had even half the braincells required to understand the installation for this.
Been tried, already died.
Does Spectacle work well with Wayland?
Even Endeavour comes with Discover installed, and stuff like Octopi exists and is pretty bug free these days.
If you’ve never had to dig into a registry file or obscure hidden folder path in Windows, you aren’t enough of a power user to ever have to in a Linux distro either.
Don’t be too optimistic, you probably haven’t seen it because it’s not being rolled out universally just yet; they like to A/B test their massive feature changes.
Source: they made it up
That whole timeline is insane, and the fact that anyone even found this in the totally coincidental way they did is very lucky for the rest of us.
It’s essentially just a remote desktop app, so yeah kinda. Depending on your screen resolution it’ll be either be more or less annoying to click on smaller UI elements, but it’s certainly possible.
I keep my Bluetooth headphones connected to the PC, and there’s maybe a split second delay. Otherwise it’s perfect, because you can still navigate your PC with the touch screen as a mouse, and it even nicely supports my 3 monitors at once.
Still holding out for desktop streaming via SteamLink to work on Wayland. I use it almost nightly to mirror my screen to my phone so I can watch what’s on my PC while cooking dinner via my phone.
Same speed, except they’re gouging me for $90 a month over here.
Don’t get my hopes up
Maybe, but it’s far more likely it’s just dependancies and other 3rd party library packages being updated.
The Steam Link Linux package also still gets the rare update now and then on my old Ras Pi, but mostly these days it’s just the Android app being given bug fixes (even though the last one is from October).
Sure, but that’s not the only benefit to having full control over the entire tiling interface. I enjoy building out the features and visuals I want in python. It’s fun to have that level of control.
Yeah I also use KDE on my desktop, though I have my laptop running QTile because the tile hotkeys are much more convinient than navigating with the trackpad.
Ever considered trying out a tiling window manager?
Really looking forward to this new browser tbh.
As comfortable as I am on Firefox, I kinda just want something totally new to enter the space at this point.
