What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Think twice about Wayland. It breaks everything!

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

Wayland proponents make it seem like Wayland is "the successor" of Xorg, when in fact it is not. It is merely an incompatible alternative, and not even one that has (nor wants to have) feature parity (missing features). And unlike X11 (the X Window System), Wayland protocol designers actively avoid the concept of "windows" (making up incompr

A guide to install linux-zen kernel on Arch Linux for systemd-boot

A simple guide to install linux-zen (The "Zen" kernel) on Arch Linux for Systemd-boot

Firstly run the following command with the appropriate privilege:

sudo pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers

When asked for confirmation, type 'y', press ENTER

Now the kernel is installed on your system. We need to tell systemd-boot to boot with the newly kernel installed.

Godot Web Server Configs

Godot Web Server Configs

For Godot 4 and the threads export in Godot 3, you need to set special headers on your web server in order to enable SharedArrayBuffer. There are some examples here for various web servers.

Python

The script below can be used to start a web server that sets the required headers. The easiest way to use this is to place this python script in your export folder and double click it to start the server. Then you can view your game at http://localhost:8000.
