I had an idea, and now I’m wondering… how well could this approach scale…?

I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?
And the answer is: Yes, actually.
⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10
Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.

Wrote a blogpost about simple (I mean with a shell and a text editor) #X11 configuration.
Covered topics:
1) #Trackball configuration for left hand. Also remapping of some buttons to have scrolling and middle button (not exists out of the box).
2) Theming: #GTK2 #GTK3 #QT , installing cursor(s), fonts and icons.
3) #Xrandr for multimonitor configuration
4) #Xserver settings for #HighDPI
5) #XDG utils and #Emacs as a system file manager
6) #XDM login window

Delightful commons news 🔥
Thanks to @nlnet I was able to give new impetus to delightful commons, and yesterday added new sections to the #fediverse experience list:
https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience
New sections added under Fediversity:
- ActivityPub bots
- Browser extensions
- Fediverse metrics
- Tools and utilities
- Mastodon API based
🥳 Even better.. There is a new delightful list created and maintained by @lmemsm and collecting delightful #X11 resources.
