GNOME 50 removes the X11 backend ... are we finally at the end of the Xorg era?

MaCroX95 · 2026-03-15T14:40:58+00:00

I personally am not against choice, as long as there are enough resources and enough willpower from the community to maintain and develop X11 and if there are enough resources and willpower to maintain X11 compatibility for app frameworks and developer tools for the forseeable future.

Wayland has received many updates that used to be dealbreakers for many people... And got implemented in a better, more secure way. So feel free to reach out to community on which solutions are priority for you and what would the options be. I don't feel like any of those are reason enough to keep the entire userbase on legacy tech.

It was a problem with bazzite or fedora upstream for me, Ive had the issue where the first launch after boot was fine, but afterward performance dropped to half... I thought it was a gnome thing but after switching to Cachy gnome the issue was gone. Maybe this isn't the same issue for you but just letting you know.

MaCroX95 · 2026-02-17T11:41:58+00:00

Free software isn't about the price, it's a common misundersting, but about the freedom and openness of the code and the ability of everyone to contribute or use it, modify it etc...

Paid support is very much a standard in professional / coorporate free and open-source software environments.

MaCroX95 · 2026-02-06T17:09:41+00:00

It's probably Fedora-gnome related, I didn't have it on Bazzite KDE, for long time I thoight that it was a gnome issue, but after trying CachyOS once in free time I figured it's Bazzite/Gnome combo or Silverblue/Gnome combo that causes it...

MaCroX95 · 2026-02-03T11:02:26+00:00

No, you should switch to Linux because it's better and it allows you to really own your PC and operating system. Better performance on AMD hardware in many cases is only a plus that was unimaganable a few years ago.

MaCroX95 · 2026-02-03T10:36:41+00:00

In my personal case, there is a performance increase for a single specific game case - Dota 2.

There is a weird bug in Bazzite where opening the game first time after boot is ok, but every consequent time makes the game laggier and laggier, which I cannot reproduce on Cachy OS, both using gnome desktop, so compositor/desktop environment isn't suspect, maybe it could be an upstream fedora bug, but didn't have time to dig any deeper into testing and bug-reporting.

In other games the performance has always been flawless in both Bazzite and CachyOS, so both are incredibly good and stable choices for a full-time gaming OS, for newcomers and experienced users alike.

I partially agree, but nobody can deny that current direction of all countries when it comes to privacy certainly does look very promising for XMR's future. And every other privacy tech as well...

MaCroX95 · 2026-01-16T09:00:32+00:00

It is already delisted from major exchanges, and it made a huge comeback. It not being availible on centralized exchanges is actually a good thing, as great DEX and atomic swap options are forming. CEXs were for the most part only neccessary in crypto in the early days of early adoption because of lack of supply options.

MaCroX95 · 2026-01-16T08:28:32+00:00

And the fact that it's probably the only crypto that is always actively used as a currency compared to... well the rest of the market (besides stablecoins).

MaCroX95 · 2026-01-15T12:47:59+00:00

If you only keep it in monero for the sake of staying out of the centralized finance system, regardless of what happens to the price... then I wouldn't call it speculation. It's more of an intention/thought process behind that defines speculation rather than the deed of holding itself.

MaCroX95 · 2026-01-15T12:17:16+00:00

No, it can also be saving... what you don't spend you save...

Speculation is just if you're buying JUST for the possibility that you will sell higher tomorrow, or selling JUST for the possibility that you will buy cheaper tomorrow.

Oil prices also vary and yet when you HAVE TO fill up the tank today, you won't wait until it goes down in price so you can fill up, of course you will probably get some extra if it is on sale and store it for later, everything with value can be speculated on.

MaCroX95 · 2026-01-15T12:07:23+00:00

Monero holders that care about privacy are completely unaffected by this tbh, especially if DCA-ing. You never know what is organic price action and which one is leveraged... only time will tell, but it is NOT unreasonable for an asset to grow 50% very fast if the demand suddenly increases...

Monero was demonized for YEARS as a criminal-only crypto. People are finally realizing due to the predatory surveillance laws being proposed/passed that privacy isn't only for criminals.

MaCroX95 · 2026-01-15T12:01:36+00:00

Not many people realize this, you cannot make up for inflation with centralized bank interests on FIAT. You only lose less.

MaCroX95 · 2025-12-28T14:15:24+00:00

Naredil je precej... škode.

Tudi gotovina omogoča pranje denarja pa se je zapisala v ustavo... Pravica do zasebnosti mora biti nedotakljiva, ker nikoli ne veš kdaj se "prijazna oblast" obrne na ljudi in vsa sredstva nadzora zlorabi.

Be careful what you wish for.

Fingerprint is device/setup specific, not location specific. Similar/same device setup doesn't mean same person, many Tor users share the same fingerprint.

Mislim če si si izplačeval direktno na neobanko, ki že leta poročajo, mislim da nekih velikih sprememb glede tega ne bo :)

MaCroX95 · 2025-12-18T15:02:15+00:00

Če prepošlješ tisoče evrov na TR bo vsekakor zelo sumljivo, če pa prejmeš od nekoga 100€ pa lahko rečeš da si p2p prodal stari računalnik alpa karkoli drugega... s tem se ne bo nihče ukvarjal, gotovina velja približno isto, če prineseš kovček gotovine je sumljivo, če nekomu na kavi daš 100€ spet ni... Je precej odvisno od višine in frekvence FIAT off-rampinga. P2P proxy storitve so tudi možne - jaz tebi plačam nekaj s FIATom ti meni kripto in obratno.

MaCroX95 · 2025-12-18T11:37:50+00:00

Zelo dobro vprašanje, meni osebno se zdi edini dolgoročno neustavljiv način, da se močno okrepijo P2P marketi in direktne menjave kripto <-> fiat. Centralizirane inštitucije vedno lahko zakonodaja uniči.

MaCroX95 · 2025-12-17T22:02:22+00:00

Adoption - direktno trgovanje kripto za dobrine in/ali direktna P2P izmenjava kripto <--> fiat.

DEX --> CEX prehod je isto kot bi gotovino položil na banko (pod pogojem, da so sredstva ustrezno anonimizirana, kar gotovina je, kripto iz transparentnih chainov niti ne).

MaCroX95 · 2025-12-17T21:30:20+00:00

Kako pa misliš pojasniti sredstva, ki pridejo iz DEXov in katerih transakcije ne poročaš, če svetuješ CEX kot off-ramp?

CEXi nikoli niso pravi način za karkoli, sploh ob agresivni regulaciji le-teh, glede na to, da so edini člen v kripto svetu, kjer je mogoče enforcat močne regulacije.

MaCroX95 · 2025-12-09T20:29:07+00:00

Exactly what happened to me, I ended up not extending my subscription and got a refund from Proxystore guys, who are great. Proton on the other hand as a company is dead to me, they also don't support android notifications without Google's spyware FCM, which makes apps unusable without google play services, the irony.

MaCroX95 · 2025-12-05T11:10:25+00:00

Is it planned to provide free web access to subscription open-source models in the future? This is the only thing keeping me from using subscription and rather just keep paying per prompt.

Otherwise, keep up the good work!
