[arch-general] Transparent gnome-terminal with Wayland
Hi there, with GNOME 3.22 defaulting to Wayland I thought I give it a try. All in all it works pretty well. I just miss the possibility to make some windows a bit less opaque. With Xorg I do it using Devil's Pie, but that doesn't seem to work with Wayland. Is there a way to get transparency with GNOME/Mutter on Wayland?

When I was younger all my computers were DIY computers. But times change, and my work load increased; now my spare time is *very* limited and I am no longer willing to spend time on things like looking for the right hardware.

I don't think that this is true; generally their desktop systems come with a 500GB Segate HDD. And as I just checked I couldn't find a system without a disk; could you provide a link? > DIY is significant less expensive, even if you should buy some > hardware that shouldn't work with Linux, even if you then wouldn't get > your money back and need to buy some hardware twice. DIY was always less expensive and will always be. But it will cost you your time. I'm not willing to pay that price.

Or am I > missing something? I can be sure that everything works with Linux. I don't have the time or the energy to check the hardware vendors manually, I want to buy hardware that just works; my time is too limited and to precious to me to work around hardware/driver flaws.

Germany has such a company as well: <http://www.tuxedocomputers.com/> They're selling devices with either Ubuntu or ElementaryOS pre-installed. I bought a InfinityBook, it works pretty well and flawless. UK has something like that, too: <https://www.entroware.com/store/> They sell devices with Ubuntu pre-installed.
