r/wayland

We all know Linus' biggest pet peeve is the lack of system wide middle click autoscrolling. I built a universal solution called midscroll that operates at the kernel input level, meaning it perfectly replicates the Windows autoscroll behavior across every single application on both Wayland and X11. It anchors your cursor, uses the exact same speed curve you are used to, and runs entirely in the background.
FOSS under the Unlicense.
You can check out how it works here: https://github.com/gnhen/midscroll

EDIT: Now with a Settings menu GUI. Supports Hold & Drag as well as Toggle mode. Native scrolling mode supported.

Hi!

So, it's been a couple of weeks now from when I tried to find a good crosshair overlay for wayland and just couldn't, so I built this!

It uses a real, click-through, layer-shell surface made with wlr-layer-shell, so it should work on any compositor that supports that. It supports three built in crosshair types, as well as custom images, and easy to share config files.

AUR: yay -S crosshair-overlay or paru -S crosshair-overlay
Github: https://github.com/m39d/crosshair-overlay

I also think it's fair to mention that I'm not a great programmer myself, and while I tried putting in a ton of work to make it good, I did use AI to write the vast majority of the codebase. It's all been tested as thoroughly as I could, but just wanted to be upfront about that.

Also, I think it's important to say that this is just an overlay window, it doesn't touch game memory or input. I've used it myself in The Finals without issues, but even though I have never experienced any problems, anti-cheat behavior is not something I can promise on. So use your own judgment before running it in anything ranked or competitive.

This is my first project, and I would love some feedback and to see if anyone other than me would appreciate this.
Anyways, thx and hope you guys enjoy it!

Tabularium
FEATURES
- C99
- 100% Statically linked (+musl)
- Software Rendered
- Grid/Free placement
- Wallpaper support
- Multi-monitor support
- Extremely customizable (~/.config/tabularium)
- - alignments and placements, sizing/positioning based on percentages of screen size
- - icon size, font size, font outline, icon spacing, margins, icon direction, monitor placement order, etc
- Image/Audio/Video thumbnails (~/.cache/tabularium)
- - C port of libjxl forked from j40
- - uses pixman, stb_image, libwebp, libavformat/libavcodec
- Follows freedesktop specifications for themes and directories
- No connection to network
TODO/BUGS
- Multi-monitor wallpaper finicky on cycling
- Grid isn't aligned properly
- Font shaping for low res is bad, fixing now (adding C port of harfbuzz)
- Cleanup source directory to place on github/gitlab
- GUI needs to start over, I have created vector image of what GUI should look like

This is no where near a finished application. I'd like some input and bug testers. It does kind of work as it is but I don't remember if this version can open .desktop applications but it is currently in the source. Primary goals are no dependencies or runtimes, maximum compatibility (haven't implemented mutter workaround yet), and maximum configurability (within reason).

With the Wayland port for HackMatrix, I am now able to use the cursor on applications at an angle. Hotkeys are now saved based on locations.

HackMatrix is closed source now btw.

Hey everyone! I put together a minimal, samurai-themed config for Hyprlock.

I got tired of standard password dots, so I customized it to render the Japanese kanji character **春** on each keypress.

**Key Features:**

* Custom Kanji password glyphs (`春`)

* Fully transparent floating input field

* Japanese date formatting (`YYYY年MM月DD日`)

* Minimal dark green / katana aesthetic

Redragon ships the SS-550 Stream Deck with Windows-only software. I use Linux, so I captured the USB traffic from the proprietary driver, decoded the protocol, and reimplemented it in userspace.

The result is an open-source Rust workspace with a background daemon plus an optional Tauri/GTK control panel. It builds from source on any Linux distribution and works on both Wayland and X11.

What it supports:

• 15 configurable keys across multiple pages, custom icons and brightness control

• Commands, URLs, typed text, hotkeys and chained multi-actions

• Live key widgets for clock, CPU, RAM, temperature, timers, weather and playerctl

• Per-application profiles that switch with the focused window

• OBS Studio WebSocket 5.x controls and live status

• Twitch viewer/follower counts, clips and chat actions

• A daemon-only mode for headless systems

Two details that may help anyone working with similar USB hardware:

• The udev rule uses TAG+="uaccess" instead of MODE="0666", and it must sort before 73-seat-late.rules — hence 60-redragon-streamdeck.rules.

• The device exposes multiple HID interfaces. Writes returned EPIPE until I selected the correct interface by usage_page instead of assuming the first index.

Currently confirmed hardware: Redragon SS-550, USB ID 0200:1000. Other StreamDock/Mirabox-based devices may work, but I cannot test them yet.

Repository, installation instructions and source:

If you own this device or a related model, I would appreciate test results. I am also happy to answer questions about the protocol, udev setup or architecture.

If you find the project useful, a GitHub star would help other Linux users discover it.
