  • The biggest feature of Wayland for me is mixed refreshrate monitors works OOB. On X this is a pain to get even remotely working and it’s impossible if your monitors aren’t dividable (120/60 works, 144/60 stutters).

    This is from my experience something that is starting to be a way more common issue (high refreshrate laptops with 60 external monitors at businesses or high refreshrate monitor for gaming and a smaller secondary monitor for info lookup/discord).

    other than that, Xorg does win the “more stable” prize for me, but if I wanted stability, I should’ve become a carpenter.


  • It’s quite a bad UX, but generally error 2 from make means the called program resulted into an error.

    Usually this is accompanied with another error somewhere up the log. Multiple cores can make this a challenge to scan the log for however, so maybe try compiling without the -j argument, that should get the actual error closer to the end.

    From my experience, it’s usually an outdated config for the kernel (like using a config for 5.1 while compiling 6.7) or a missing dependency. However the real error will be somewhere among the logs, who knows, maybe it’s a missing processor instruction (it’s really bad UX).








  • For unit tests I usually have a test/ folder next to my src/ folder, that duplicates the folder structure. My brain prefers things being seperate from eachother (resources, source code per language, tests) and this is afaik the only way that you can keep it consistent between different languages (C# for example needs a seperate unit test project)
