For servers:BSD > Linux
why tho
>>107746523Why are BSD users like this? Sours me on BSD.
i posted in the previous thread about how my laptops resolution is 2560x1600 but PopOS wont show anything about 1920x1200. I have tried everything and it just wont go. i don t know what else to try
>>107746741>aboutabove*
>>107746741try X. it's a weird issue for sure. i'm not an expert on wayland, but wayland just seems to lack diagnosis utils.
>>107746644Salty that namespaces are beyond anything jails can provide. Pledges are nice though.
>>107746760The options listed on the login screen are :COSMICgnome classic gnome classic on waylandgnome classic on xorgUbuntu Ubuntu on wayland Ubuntu on xorgI just tried every one and only cosmic works. The others show a full black screen with lines of code for a few seconds and then just go back to the login screen. I even tested them both with dynamic mode and discrete GPU only mode set in the bios. should I just go back to windows lol
>>107747109Ok, look in /var/log for an X error log, or check journalctl.
>>107747386I just fresh reinstalled popOS because I think I broke something. Unrelated to resolution. The trackpad stopped working. But now after the fresh install everything is back to normal and functioning I just still can't set it to the desired resolution. Honestly I think im just gonna settle for 1920x1200. Fuck it
>use Gentoo with Mate desktop>want to try out Mate Wayland>works but it's completely different desktop entirely???>can't configure keyboard nor scalingAm I looking at the "Wayfire" thing here?t. knows shit about Wayland
>>107747508well, you can always use it like that for now and work on it later when you feel like it. X server provides decent error logs to work out why it's not starting. You have nvidia drivers installed?
