Wayland book

“Wayland is intended as a simpler replacement for X, easier to develop and maintain. GNOME and KDE are expected to be ported to it.”

I found a link to a book, that explains the technical details behind Wayland. Seems to be a draft, but there is a lot of content for anyone who happens to be interested in this.

This on Mastodon by Newsbot.

See links below for details. I have included a link to x.org foundation for legacy.

If you click on Settings (menu) —> configure —> guides

You should get the following

I have checked the boxes to constellation:-

lines
boundaries.
names

If you then click on the colours tab at the side

I have set the colour to yellow. This does stand out, probably a little too much. However you can set it to the colour of your choosing or leave as the default grey.
