X11 v wayland

Wayland uses a simple, modern approach: client side rendering.

This cuts out any server type component that acts as a middleman, and lets the application communicate directly with the compositor that it wishes to render a window for. This makes load times much quicker in theory and is technically easier to implement, thanks to the simplified codebase that Wayland brings to the table.

ms windoz 10 + wsl 3 + oraclelinux 8 + x11 errors

if you are running ms windoz 10 + wsl 3 + oraclelinux 8 and are trying to run x11 gui apps such as ms code/vscode 1.79.2, ms edge 114 or mozilla firefox 108 and are getting x11, libGL.so.1, mesa or swrast errors

such as 

Couldn't open libGL.so.1: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast: /usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

try installing gdm

and / or try

# dnf install redhat-lsb-desktop

and / or 
# dnf install libEGL

and / or 
# dnf install xorg-x11-server-Xdmx

and /or 
# dnf install xorg-x11-server-Xwayland

which will install the mesa libraries

NOTES

With Fedora Kinoite, only certain mounts can be manually specified as partitions.

These include:

  • /boot
  • /var
    • Subdirectories under /var, including:
      • /var/home (Fedora Kinoite has a symlink from /home to /var/home)
      • /var/log
      • /var/containers
    • The root filesystem: /

The Fedora installer is not aware of these restrictions and will accept custom partitions without error, even if they are incompatible with Fedora Kinoite.
