Well yes, the rest of the world does have better paper. 21×29.7, the only ratio to conserve itself when halving the sheet
Relation 1 to SQR 2, from A0 of 1m2 to A5 letter format (A4, A5 most used in the EU), every time the half of the next bigger format. Easy to remember.
Wait, is that true? Is there something special about that ratio in particular that lets it conserve ratio when dividing?
Yes it’s true. It’s the square root of 2, which is why it works.
Here’s a fun CGP Grey video on the matter: https://youtu.be/pUF5esTscZI?si=9czdx4u8jWruZoui

Yes, we do have metric paper. A4 vs. US letter.

Two Questions:
* Why is it needed to set up resolutions If you work with screens in these Modern days. There should only be zooming?
* I have two screens one HD and one 4K. Why could I not set both screens as same physical high or same width?Well the tearing fixes would definitely help.
Stupid Nvidia Ink Cartridges…
Shouldn’t it be 8.5XFree86 in the land of freedom™?
For anyone else wondering, this is a X11 vs Wayland meme - i.e. desktop window managers. Yeah.
Neither of them are window managers, they are windowing systems. A window manager is the part that actually lets you move around windows and draws the borders and stuff, like kwin, mutter, xfwm, i3, etc
As I typed my comment, I realised someone would correct me with hyperspecific linux terminology. But I support your correction good sir.
does Wayland even have a built in DWM? Because both are session manager.
No, Wayland is just a protocol, and the things that implement it are compositors, not WMs
Also, there’s no such thing as a DWM, except for the WM called dwm
I’m starting to think Wayland is the systemd of desktop graphic environments. Might be amazing eventually, but pushed onto the community too soon by opinionated devs who have fallen victim to the second-system effect.
Mod me down, don’t care.
Edit: Woohoo, into the ground! Mod me down further, and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine :p
I don’t troll often, but when I do… it’s about Wayland and systemd. Nyah nyah.
Honestly if Wayland will work 100% on my next setup and apps appear as expected, I won’t give a damn what system I’m using.
