In my experience, a dedicated virtual machine running $problematic_stack often beats any workarounds - there’s often not enough people power to make niche workarounds like that work well, sometimes they’re brilliant, other times they’re barely functional.
- tverbeure 3y agoI’m OK with barely functional if it works for me! These blog posts are about not forgetting how I did something when I need to build the setup again in the future. Google is better at searching the web than at searching local notes on one of my machines. :-)
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoOh to be clear, I’m referring to wayland w/ x forwarding and I probably worded my comment poorly - point is sometimes I wont invest time when something obscure doesn’t work and other times if it’s obscure I’ll use some other workaround that avoids obscurity as much as possible. There are some pretty good ‘hacks’ that work brilliantly (sshfs for example) and others which work terribly (nvidia binary drivers seem to keep failing on me to the point where buying an AMD card may have a better ROI)
