<pitillo> wayland and libpipeline ready on the chromebook....
<pitillo> now it's time to understand how this works and how to start something with them
<beerman> libpipeline? pipewire? :D
<pitillo> xD
<pitillo> I confused both..... :(
<beerman> if pipewire, I have a basic readme with the port: https://git.crux.nu:82/ports/contrib/src/branch/3.7/pipewire/README.md
<beerman> a simple pipewire session is mostly as easy as that (make sure to emulate a pulseaudio server with it)
<pitillo> taking note... I need to build it and its dependencies
<beerman> for wayland there is no readme. i only have sway as a wm (or compositor as its called on wayland)
<beerman> you start it from a tty directly, but a wrapper makes sense
<pitillo> interesting, I've been reading about sway so it seems a good option
<beerman> sway is basically a configuration compatible replacement for i3
<beerman> if you used i3 before, you can mostly just reuse it
<beerman> https://github.com/TimB87/crux-wayland i collected a few notes here, but thats a bit old
<pitillo> never used it really (I'm used to bb/flux and moved to enlightenment long time ago)
<pitillo> but I take note about those notes too... they will be very usefull for sure
<beerman> https://dpaste.org/xMZJT this is my current start-sway wrapper
<pitillo> neat, thanks!
<beerman> again, a simple session is easy to start and run. you can scale a bit into the config, and generally, a little bit more will be needed. e.g. xdg-desktop-portals
<beerman> but it will run without
<beerman> afaik there is no real need for xwayland if you are not gaming
<pitillo> I probably try to go from down to top.... I only need a X session (wayland) as a base to run terminal apps at first stage. May be audio and web browser on the next stages, but bit by bit
<beerman> install foot, or alacritty
<beerman> foot > alacritty imo, but i am not from the police
<pitillo> I'm currently building some deps... I will try to start a simple session now to check if it works with this kernel version (X didn't work due to old chromeOS kernel used)
<beerman> there really is no need for xwayland :D it spares you quite a few dependencies
<beerman> oh ok, well we will see then :D
<jaeger> beerman: yep, was just waiting for 545.2x to come out of beta which it didn't until yesterday
<pitillo> is it possible to just start wayland without sway? as an X server just to check if it works
<beerman> nah
<beerman> i think weston is the reference implementation for a compositor https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Weston which would be what you mean, but there is no port for it. its not included with wayland or wayland-protocols
<beerman> jaeger i am curious to hear if it fixes your problem. I am thinking about upgrading from the rx580 but the prices for modern amdgpu are basically almost the same as for an nvidia card, with the latter being much more performant. but I don't trust it :D
<pitillo> thanks for clarify beerman .... I'll go ahead building sway then
<jaeger> Which problem? wayland or something else?
<jaeger> Also why don't you trust the rx580? I still have one of those that's very solid
<beerman> sorry, i wasn't clear enough. I trust my rx580 but I'd like to upgrade, and I still have trust issues with nvidia
<jaeger> Ah, ok
<jaeger> I'll give it another try and report
<beerman> also sidenote, i have a package large enough for my small 2U server :D but i haven't checked any further. In 3 weeks I'll have the rest of the year off work so thats when I'll want to look into that :)
<jaeger> ok
