Show HN: Another way to use an old tablet as an extra screen
I've used Weylus [0]. It works over LAN, lets you control the mouse from your tablet. Sometimes it's laggy, but you can configure the resolution so it's not using too much bandwidth. I'm not sure if it's stable at all. Haven't used it on a regular basis.

What’s better for modelling, a tablet or computer?
Can't speak for modelling on Blender itself but, I have https://github.com/H-M-H/Weylus setup up on my linux desktop to draw the 2D animation frames for my game using OpenToonz and an old Android 10 tablet with stylus for input.

10.3 performance with pdfs and scientific papers vs 13.3
You can also use a software called weylus, to use the tablet as "writing pad" during online discussions/lectures, it works quite well although still prefer my wacom one tablet for that.

App for Screen Mirroring?
Any of the scrcpy GUIs like QtScrcpy let you mirror your Android device onto the PC and also control it from there if you enable the option, otherwise you can do the opposite with Weylus, so you mirror your PC's screen to the tablet and then you can draw from it with either your fingers or a pen, with pen pressure supported as well, which I find pretty amazing!

Tips & Tricks for Productivity with BOOX (Obsidian, Syncthing, Weylus, RustDesk, Termux, KDE Connect, ZeroTier) + 2 Bonus Screensavers
Weylus can turn your BOOX device into a wireless graphic (wacom) tablet with a live video feed while supporting all the pressure sensitivity levels of the stylus. I’ve used it for drawing inside Krita (example shown below) and also sculpting inside Blender (Krita and Blender running on my laptop). I think it is very simple to set up - I just start Weylus on my laptop and then connect my Tab Ultra via a web browser. The input latency on the laptop screen is low, but the live video feed from a laptop on the tablet is quite a bit worse because of the screen technology, but it is still usable in one of the fast modes (and the laptop screen is right next to me, so lower quality of video feed is not a big deal). It is possible to disable this live feed and just use it with a black background like most graphic tablets - but I quite like to see the same canvas also on my tablet.

PCSX2 Disables Wayland Support
>Not losing all the work every time your windows manager crashes
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37509703
>remapping keys
>Use xinput to change parameters of their input devices (libinput dropped most configuration options present with evdev)
Up to the compositor.
>Global shortcuts
Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

Gnome developer proposes removing the X11 session
> - O proper screen recording support
Works just fine. I use OBS.
> - broken screen sharing
Never had any trouble with it.
> - No proper global keyboard shortcut
> - No push to talk support
On its way: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/711 / https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.free...
> - Several problems with multiple screens
Haven't had any more than on X11, but then again I do use Nvidia hardware on Linux.

The Guy Preserving the New History of PC Games, One Linux Port at a Time
It might help, but at this point Linux containers can't really stabilize the whole environment, especially for games. Particular pain points include accelerated graphics (which theoretically can have a stable kernel interface, but in practice is so complex and performance-sensitive that it's not stable enough to be a "reference platform", so to speak) and modern game controllers (which present a whole mess of concerns typically "addressed" in Flatpak by granting the device=all permission and hoping for the best [1]).
I also know a guy who ran into issues with a kernel update breaking a custom allocator, although I don't know the fine details. That wasn't for a game, but games also use custom allocators for various reasons.
