What a garbage.

Just use Linux, SELinux, strong sandboxing, repositories, nonexecutable home directories, strong access control, offline backups.

Pretty sure it’s happened in Linux before, but because it’s much less users, obviously it won’t have same global outage like what happens now

I mean, I run Fedora and ran many others and had multiple crashes.

Fedora Atomic Desktops not anymore, but still not perfect.

It doesn’t. It will require you to reboot for every god-damned line of code that has changed.

Firefox kept crashing because of explicit sync. Nothing new for an nvidia user such as myself. Still never going back to xorg.

The new nvidia driver has explicit sync, wayland perfect for me since I updated it a week or so ago.

Thanks, I wish the same for you friend! I use arch so they’re pretty fast at fixing stuff. Yesterday they pushed an update that minimized the crashing but it’ll probably be totally fixed by today or tomorrow unless it’s a driver bug.

I was a terrible citizen and ignored the problem instead of reporting the bug. I just wanted to get some coding done so I just clicked the restart Firefox button over and over. That minor fix did wonders though! It only crashed two more times to my recollection.

Set MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 before starting Firefox and it doesn’t crash anymore
