My employer is forcing me to switch to a Wayland session. Is there something like xosview that runs on Wayland?

Last weekend, I went looking for this structure. It's a replica of a section of the 'Sweet Track' - a Neolithic walkway in the Avalon Marshes. The original was 2 km long, and built in the spring of 3806 BCE. It's named after the peat cutter who first discovered it, in 1970.

Fun poll: How many of you say goodbye to your doggo or catto before leaving home?

And many more too long,

“Ghost of the desert” … a sand cat in Libya. In 2017 wildlife photographer Mohammed Almuntasir posted a YouTube video of the nocturnal feline in the Libyan Sahara, much to the surprise of naturalists, who hadn’t known it was there. Now, after eight years of research in a remote valley, the sand cat has been documented in 13 sites. Smaller (and arguably cuter) than a house cat, the sand cat is difficult to spot, but can be tracked through its pawprints.

Important question time! This one is for my shell using #UNIX/#Linux friends.

We already know bash is going to win. The second place position is the most interesting one here!

Oh, and this is a VERY loaded poll.
