Your First Time with Linux
~2-3 years ago, started dual booting Manjaro with Windows. Eventually I switched to Arch, and stayed there for a while. I even wrote my AUR helper in C. ~1/3 of my time into using Arch I removed my Windows partition. Unfortunately I had to reinstall it on a small partition when school started later on. I switched back and forth between Arch and Debian (just distrohopping). Throughout that time I kept trying to install Gentoo, but never actually finished because I had to stop the compile process because I needed to do work. Eventually, I had ~5 days to spare, and so I installed Gentoo. That was on: ~ stat / | grep "Birth" | sed 's/Birth: //g' | cut -b 2-11 2021-08-18

[ New Package Request ] SwayFX
What are the chances of SwayFX being added to the repo ? I see someone had put in a PR but it was never accepted and also the package is now at version 0.3 whereas the person who put in the PR is still at 0.2 since April. Would it be bad practice for me to put in an updated PR that works as I'd be keen to maintain that package for sure ?

Wayland WM’s openGL versions
You can build Hyprland with its legacyrenderer to enable hardware acceleration on openGL 2.x. Sway and River both fully support openGL 2 as well, I use sway myself. The swayfx project (https://github.com/WillPower3309/swayfx) is starting to add hyprland-like features and targets openGL 2
