Early Febuary 2024 if all goes well.

I guess i need to update revanced

Once ALVR becomes even remotly usable on Linux im wiping my windows partition and going full Linux (I’m already using it for everything exept VR)

Not great. Instead of open sourcing the proprietary driver they made a seperate open source one. So there are currenty two seperate official kernel drivers:

• A usable proprietary driver.

• And a horrible open source driver.

Also all userspace drivers are all still proprietary.

Maybe with windows. On linux i spent a solid few hours on it before giving up.

There is uYou+ but its not on the appstore so its pretty much impossible to install

Just a note for people wanting to install it:

The only official website is www.revanced.app and www.github.com/revanced , all other websites are unoffincial and can sometimes spread malware. Unfortunetley the official site has terrible SEO and shows up very low in search results. Also the revanced team dosen’t distibute prebuilt apks for copyright reasons, you have to patch the stock apk yourself.

I used to like his content and his videos got me into linux but i feel that his newer videos have a lot more politics compared to the older ones and i very much disagree with most of his political views i don’t realy watch him anymore

And then hang on 100% for hours before finaly crashing

Some games with intrusive DRM or anticheat. Also VR is pretty bad

Just gonna leave these completly unrelated links here:

uYou+ (iOS):

Pretty sure that Revanced still has google tracking since its a patched version of the official app.

Also if anyone here intends to use it: Please be careful. The real revenced site (www.revanced.app) has awfull SEO and usualy appears way below fake websites (that sometimes spread malware). The only real websites are revanced.app and the github.

Also you have to patch the app yourself for copyright reasons so don’t trust and websites that offer a direct apk of revanced (the real website offers a manager app that you can use to patch the official app)

Great idea. Trainning an AI model on twitter totaly didn’t go terribly wrong the last time it was tried. /s

What are the advantages of Wayland?

The big one is proper support for diffrent refresh rate monitors and VRR. Also some security improvment and long term support (X11 probably has only a few years before development stops).

What are the disadvantages?

Its still a little buggy in some cases (especialy when using Nvidia hardware) but with an AMD or Intel GPU its more then usable. Some apps don’t play nice with Xwayland but its pretty rare.

How’s gaming?

I haven’t encontered any major issues with games. Some games might need launch parameters but usualy you can just google it and find the answer very quickly. Performance its exactly the same as on X (maybe even slightly better)

What would be the best way to switch?

On your desktop with KDE you can just select “KDE (Wayland)” in your display manager and KDE should just run like normal but with Wayland. On you laptop you’d need to switch to a diffrent WM since i3 dosen’t support Wayland. Your best bet would probably be Sway since its compatible with i3 configurations.

Why have you made the switch?

I wanted to check out how well Wayland works and found that it works fine for me, and so i decided to move. Also X was giving me issues with screen tearing and multiple monitors.

The only breakages i have encouterted were caused by nvidia (and there were a lot of those). If we exclude nvidia issues then i have had a very problem free expirience.

Looks like seank got a new job at motorola
