I have so many questions, but it’s ok if you dont want or can’t answer them. why doesn’t omnissa work in wayland? X11-only apps are still supposed to work (because of a compatibility layer xwayland), and I take advantage of that all the time with multiple apps. and why don’t your monitors work? hdmi/dp/dvi are all very basic things that should just work, regardless of using X11 or not
that’s weird. does that not work in the browser either?
all 16 777 216 colors, actually
maybe the snapshot could be rolled back by a PXE bootable system. but for the second part, btrfs can do snapshots per subvolume, so if you could create a subvolume on user creation that could work
Btrfs and snapshots could help with atomicity, did you consider that?
do as I say
look babe, it’s a unique 8 point curve for each fan, isn’t that beautiful! do you hear it too?
Also that right click menu is lighters faster than the old school menu. Every application and their mother wants to add shit to the right click menu and it would lag out to the point it would take 10 seconds to open.
if you don’t install all the garbage of the internet, that’s not a problem. it can also be cleaned up, even without regedit.

oh… now I understand everything
why would anyone else use your computer? honest question. and do they need access to your local files, or just a machine?
no I mean piping a downloaded script to the interpreter
that sounds horrible.
only of manual duplex printing would be a thing on linux…
I think windows does shut down, but the hardware in your computer does not, and so when booting linux, the hardware does not start with a fresh slate. It’s not reinitialized, keeping configuration and possibly custom firmware from the other OS.
interestingly, it also means malware could also escape a reboot this way… and for the network adapter, maybe it doesn’t even need to be compatible with linux to work.
what you mean though is the fast startup setting of windows. that does hibernate the computer as you say, after it logs out the user.
and at this point it’s also worth noting that this is a setting in the UEFI setup, and this is different to the fast startup setting in windows that also needs to be turned off for other reasons.

does retrains have any effect with hard? this is what man nfs says:
If neither option is specified (or if the hard option is specified), NFS requests are retried indefinitely. If the soft option is specified, then the NFS client fails an NFS request after retrans retransmissions have been sent, causing the NFS client to return an error to the calling application.
also, do you know what can I do with CIFS/SMB? I have most of my shares through samba :/
well that’s also interesting, but I mainly experience this problem on my desktop. there was a plasma version when even the taskbar panel got frozen, and the kde file manager, double commander too for like a minute, every time they try to do anything with an unreachable network drive. and its even worse on my laptop so there I just don’t mount my shares anymore.
I have been wondering how does windows do it, and programs made for windows, because this is a nonissue there (though windows has its fair share of problems with network shares though…). maybe they just learned to do all IO ops on a different thread…
that should only matter if it would run in wayland mode and you want to override it to run in x11 mode.
though, maybe omnissa tries to use wayland mode, but does that very poorly, and in that case you would actually want to override this.
there’s multiple ways to disable wayland for an app (actually what you do is convince the app to not use wayland), and it depends on the framework the app uses. but setting the environment variable
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=(like this, to the empty value) should work, as lots of apps look for that to know if they should use wayland.usually you set the environment variables for an app in its own launcher icon’s editor menu. there’s other ways too but this does not require using the terminal.
yeah that’s a bit complicated. but I would expect kde plasma to handle it well. it has a display config menu a bit like windows has, where you can drag each display to where it should be. be aware though that it does not affect the user selector screen that you see between a fresh boot and the first login; that’s configurable too but in a different way.
