3 days agoI’m excited for my cursor to not get trapped in a window anymore.
On Wayland at least, u can completely disable pointer constraints. Thus, a game window freezes, it doesn’t lock your cursor in it.
With X11, the only solutions I found were basically recompiling the X11 code. Thus, I deal with one game window making my cursor disappear and frozen inside itself, affecting all other Xwayland windows.
Annoying and ridiculous. Hopefully not long before wine-wayland matures enough to fix this.
Yes. Using kexec.
Though this is irrelevant for majority of users: I’ve never seen it as the default.
That +
gives me the idea that its likely safer to just do a proper reboot, if your alternative is kernel patching or loading a completely different kernel.
Plus, its likely that not every single bit of firmware running on your devices support live patching. Thus you will be rebooting eventually, unless you are fine with avoiding the updates.
