Just a regular Joe.
Regions give manual tiling possibility though, which is actually how I prefer it. I’m testing a new patch that someone recently did to support focus based on region, which is nifty.
labwc is working pretty well these days. Screen tearing for games and all.
There are a bunch of environment variables that I set this time though, which may have contributed to a better experience this time.
If I were a new user, I’d consider using such a tool. I guess I’ll see myself out. ;-)
That indeed changes things, potentially introducing much more bias. What motivation would somebody have to install this tool and run it? Is it being marketed/advertised somehow? How, where, and to whom? :-P
People who voluntarily report usage are more likely to be new users, experimenting with Linux distributions etc. Greybeards like me will check out new stuff every few months or years, and won’t shout about it one way or another. We’ll probably not send statistics when prompted, either.

In some countries private law firms chase down infringers on behalf of copyright holders. They then attempt shakedowns with the threat of legal action if you don’t pay. They have a financial interest to catch people, and moral compasses vary.
Also, mistakes can happen (you, your family, guests using your wifi, in the courts, in the ISPs, in the law firms, in the tech they are using to identify people). Shit happens.
And if (when) it happens, then you would still have to deal with it, costing you time and money.
Understand the risks and make choices to minimize them if you can.
Apparmor profiles can be applied to an executable - the profile is then (if so configured) inherited by subprocesses. In my case I have a launch script to run lutris in a safe mode. It also changes the effective gid to be matched by some iptables rules (it was easier than creating a new network namespace, which is also possible). The script then checks that the Internet is inaccessible and that reading/writing to secured paths is denied before launching lutris.
Similarly I have a “safe” script to wrap other commands with an apparmor profile that stops most writes to my homedir/reads from some secure locations, which I often use to run scripts/programs from the Internet.
My sudo also requires a password (or a special keyboard combination, thanks to a custom pam configuration).
All that said and done, I’m sure I’ll be caught off guard one day.
I run a particular online windows game in a modded offline mode under Linux in network isolation and with a restricted apparmor profile. So far so good. Logs show no attempts to break out, except for the smoke test I run to ensure the sandbox is working. This is as much because of the random mods I install as the original devs (who could ban my online account).
On Windows, a VM would indeed be safer. GPU passthrough is possible … I guess easier with Windows using an onboard GPU, then passing a discrete GPU to the VM. You’ll lose some performance with a VM regardless, but it’s easy to disable networking, back up and restore from a known good state, and burn it to the ground when needed.
Your friends will find you wherever you are and will continue asking you such questions. There is no escape.
As a primary Linux user who wrote his own X tool to do exactly this and has been missing this functionality on Mac - thank you!
I’ll send my unpublished code your way soon. It’s just Go, relying on the WM (run command shortcuts) to call it. Move+Resize and Focus functionality.
It won’t work on Wayland, which seems to require native compositor support - labWC is halfway there.
edit: check your PMs
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego and Commander Keen … wait a second, the time machine’s dial is broken.
I’ve had the most luck with heroic games launcher for Epic. I guess anti-cheat will be problematic for multiplayer games on epic.
Can confirm. I’ve been using Linux for nearly 30 years… I don’t post questions on forums. Bug reports for OSS projects, on the other hand…
And how does MuseScore compare to a pen & paper and upright piano in terms of quality?
Also a dbus notification daemon (whichever you use) may be having problems. Things hang inexplicably if it’s not running.
TinyLinux (booting from DOS), Slackware, Debian for many years, Ubuntu, Debian, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch for 10+ years.
RH/CentOS/Amazon Linux for work these last 20 years.
I switched to Arch because ubuntu & debian started asking too many interactive questions when upgrading packages, instead of just upgrading. Arch gets out of my way, and has great documentation if something unexpected should break.
Who cares?
My company’s 9,000 CentOS machines and over 100,000 containers now mostly run Amazon Linux or Alpine. Rocky Linux was preferred by some, but we led the way and the rest followed. Our final licensed RH systems will also disappear this quarter (legacies of a DC-centric era), and we will be free of them.
It was inertia that kept us with RH, but their bad faith moves kicked us into action. We now have better security tooling and processes all around, too.
Good riddance, Red Hat (and IBM, until your next acquisition and corporate strangling)!
