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

Auto-starting VirtualBox VMs on OS X

After finding a lot of other posts on the topic that didn't work out for me this one did the trick so I'm reposting for my own sense of self preservation.

Link to original article.

Copy the Virtualbox autostart plist template file to your system's LaunchDaemons folder.

sudo cp \

/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/org.virtualbox.vboxautostart.plist \

Changing the default VM Path in VMWare Fusion on OSX Yosemite:

I had a little trouble figuring this out - so making a note of it. The VMWare Fusion default location for VMs is ~/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized, which doesnt work well for me as I typically have Documents symbolically linked to my Dropbox directory and prefer to move the default VM location rather than manage exclusions on every Dropbox install I have.

It's relatively straightforward on VMWare Workstation, and Oracle VirtualBox - but for some reason
