The official community is hosted at !pop_os@lemmy.world
On June 12th, we joined the Reddit Blackout to protest against the loss of third party clients that will happen on July 1st with Reddit’s API pricing changes. There is open source software which relies on these APIs to function, as well as various third party clients that improve accessibility and UX over Reddit’s desktop and official mobile app. Some of them have better moderation tools to make managing a subreddit easier.
Many rely on our extensive history of support requests and answers on the platform for troubleshooting day to day issues on Linux and Pop!_OS, so we are going back to a public status. A better way to protest may be for users to migrate towards open source decentralized alternatives.
So during that downtime, we’ve started a community on an open source Reddit alternative, Lemmy, which also happens to be written in Rust. Those who’d like to be on an open platform can join us here as an alternative to Reddit.
Oh my god oh my god oh ky god auto tiling by default? Ooooooh cooool. I’m so in. Gone are the days of endlessly experimenting with xmonad and never truly being happy with the results. (It’s been a while though.)
Last I checked their tiling WM features only work with X11 and not wayland
I can’t speak to this on actual Pop_OS!, but I run an Arch-based system with GNOME Wayland and gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell-git installed from the AUR. It generally works well.
That said, I’m transitioning to the Forge GNOME extension, as it provides similar functionality and doesn’t break for a few days following each major GNOME release.
