@nileane @macstories are those eyes on the top right following your mouse, like #xeyes on the #xorg display server. (Xorg is the Linux version of #X11 , the Unix display server. )
Either way: looks kool

Updated: How to Check If Wayland or Xorg Is Being Used
- Add new solution
- Add new post image
- Fix clarity
Find out if Wayland or Xorg is being used as the GNU/Linux display server using a graphical interface or terminal.

Wow, #SteamOS 3.7 will be huge for #SteamDeck - honestly didn't think #Valve would even consider upgrading to #KDE Plasma 6 seeing how, while has been superb for me, it's still buggy and rather littered with regressions compared to Plasma 5 mostly due to #Wayland, unless they'll still be using #Xorg instead (unlikely)?
Also super curious to see whether it's true that the update will really bring the "wake from sleep" using Bluetooth controllers on the LCD Deck, cos I've always thought, based on what others have been saying that only the OLED Deck has the (hardware) capabilities to do so - maybe not? All in all, super hyped for this tho I wonder when can we expect it to reach the Stable branch.

Well, I really like #X11 (#Xorg) ... and my son loves #PeppaPig. Which gives me a stupid idea. I could write something called #Xchicken. Make some chicken lay some eggs with mouse clicks on some #XRender surface.
Rough roadmap:
- Draw some chicken and eggs, probably as SVG?
- Reuse code from #Xmoji, add special widget supporting some "layered canvas"
- Implement game logic
- Add sound? (Hm, gotta look into #OSS and maybe #sndio, cause #FreeBSD ... #Linux weirdness maybe later)
- ....?
I'll probably never start though 
X.Org und Xwayland: Sicherheitslücken ermöglichen Codeschmuggel
Mehrere Sicherheitslücken in X.Org und Xwayland ermöglichen Angreifern das Einschmuggeln von Schadcode. Updates stehen zum Teil bereit.
wtf is up with Flathub calling X11 "legacy windowing system" and marking apps with X11 support as "unsafe".
I know GNOME likes role-playing as the sole owners of the Linux ecosystem, but it's not a good look to push their opinions on an otherwise neutral marketplace.
Wayland: The Modern Display Server Protocol for UNIX-like Systems
Wayland represents a significant evolution in the way graphical systems are built for UNIX-like operating systems. It was conceived as a response to the longstanding complexity of the X Window System, aiming to create a simpler, more efficient, and secure mechanism for managing display output and user input.

This is day two of having my main Linux workstation on Debian Testing (Trixie). It was running PopOS previously.
Things I've noticed:
* Moving from Stable to Testing is worth it just for the extra polish of Gnome 47 vs 43.
* Gnome 47 may be a touch less 'opinionated' on things that a user can change & resize.
* Trixie has updates but is not the 'firehose' of other 'rolling release' distributions (depending on your orientation that may be a good or bad thing!). Yes, I called Testing a rolling release.
* Gnome (Wayland) is SNAPPY! on a RTX 4070 running proprietary drivers.
* I haven't noticed any 'weirdness' or 'artifacting' with respect to the NVIDIA card on Wayland; still have to tear into some FreeCAD, Blender, or Prusa Slicer stuff to see if there are issues in 3D.
* Gnome 47 is 'old enough' at this point that all the Gnome extensions that I like are available without version'itis or other issues (Debian 13 is going to ship Gnome 48 btw).
* Testing / Trixie uses kernel 6.12 currently.
* Gnome 47 / GDM 3 understands my dual monitor (Benq PD3277U) setup and understands which screen is #1 properly (annoying little thing w/ v43).
* KDE Plasma 6 works quite nicely as well but I ended up switching back to Gnome just 'cuz.
* I should install XFCE to try it out. It's been a number of years since I ran a heavily customized XFCE setup - would have to be Xorg to be fair to XFCE.
Gnome 48 is scheduled for March 19th.
Debian 13 hard freeze is scheduled for May 15th. Official release will be a number of weeks after that. Mid June(ish)? Past releases says some time during the summer.
Watching the latest @thelinuxEXP show and the first segment is about #Mesa, #Wayland and #Xorg losing their hosting. My naive self thought, perhaps I could sponsor some hosting for them at #Hetzner or something, then came the price and bandwidth they use ..
Then I remembered that there is clearly a difference between hosting and hosting..
Any xorg / xfce4 experts here? I log into my Mint desktop fine, but if I try to connect to xrdp via MS Remote Desktop Connection, *something* is overwriting my xfce4 configuration with the default one. How can I get xrdp to start xfce4 correctly as normal xorg does? #Xorg #XFCE #LinuxMint
