Use a custom data folder on Flatpak apps
For example, let's say we want a separate instance of Zoom (Zoom on Flathub) to run along the default one.

btw
It seems to divert the discussion to something that doesn't make too much sense. X and Wayland are two different things by design, this probonopd sounds extraordinarily salty that moving an application under a new server breaks some things, making some applications entirely useless, but I say, that is to be expected. Saying that Wayland breaks stuff by design, as if that was their only objective is just petty, of course it's a pity that those devs have thrown in the towel, but let's not pretend like theirs were the only options, e.g. screen recording works perfectly fine with OBS, at least it has done so on my machines with AMD/Intel GPUs; Jitsi works now; Zoom screensharing being GNOME only is Zoom devs being dicks that can't be arsed to support standards, the community came in to work around it and also I don't know how they could bring up a proprietary application that has not made the Flatpak package themselves as an example, the whole thing is a community effort there apparently; etc. etc. (I'm not going to debunk all the others that are invalid, the internet is there for everyone)

KDE is starting to treat X11 users as second-class citizens
Can you be specific about the problems with X11? I've been using X11 for decades and it's been ROCK SOLID. And that is exactly what you want from something so essential. Wayland feels like an expensive boondogle, frankly. Wayland breaks everything and only provides 20% the functionality that X11. It also forces application and DE developers to implement special tools and solutions for wayland which have always been provided as a common interface by X11, like screenshots/ recording and screen sharing, e.g. https://github.com/flathub/us.zoom.Zoom/issues/22

Zoom on Ubuntu-based Linux
For college and therapy, I've had to use Zoom. I've been using the zoom flatpak, as I try and use flatpak for any proprietary software. That being said, it is not officially supported (by zoom), and also doesn't listen to Pop!_OS's tiling window manager. Certainly, I'm not the only one who has questioned which client to use, but I'm curious what y'all think. I like flatpak because I can trust that, worst case scenario, the proprietary software (read: Spyware) only has access to a limited amount of my system. But it'd also be nice to, ya know, use the tiling feature.

Consistent crashes joining meetings
I've gathered a coredump and a stack trace, which might be useful.

A Problem with Zoom and the Solution
You can get it as a flatpak too which should (presumably) take care of any dependencies automatically. :)

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.
