Teach these little shits a lesson!

This whole argument ignores xwayland and the fact that new features are added as a standard of Wayland literally every day.

For as long as xwayland is supported you can use your old apps. Wayland actually supports different window icons for multi window apps. But Wayland has always supported window icons, kde just had an annoying bug they finally fixed. Chromium and electron apps kinda just didn’t support window icons very well in wayland for a while.

For accessibility, it’s been broken on Linux for literally years but there’s an active effort to make it better and more universal than it ever could have been on x11. The effort of building a fully featured accessibility stack is being led by the gnome team with help from the free desktop organization and kde.

This is my last response, this conversation isn’t going anywhere anyway. I’m not the one transitioning the Linux world to Wayland, I don’t see why you could blame me for it anyhow.

Your arguments kinda weak, no offense. I do have a solution for you though. If you want to stick with a version of Linux that’s guaranteed to support xorg for eight years, I’d recommend Rocky linux! When that reaches EOL I guess you could just stay on it.

Enterprise plans on being fully switched over to Wayland by the next major version. You won’t be able to install xorg on redhat for example. The biggest contributors to xorg(Enterprise) are going to shift focus to xwayland to support legacy software on wayland.

Besides it’s exciting finally catching up to truly hardware accelerated desktops like Mac OS 10.0 and windows vista. At its heart xorg is a purely single threaded software accelerated bitmap based windowing system from 84. They’ve had to rewrite small but incredibly complex chunks of the code just to try to keep up with the modern world. Just look at the history of 3D acceleration in x11.

Your free to give it a good go though! The very same team that actively maintained xorg threw in the towel ten years ago when they diverted resources towards a new windowing protocol and they’re not going back.

If developers drop off there’s not much we can do. It’ll eventually have to be removed or become a bigger security risk than developers say it is already.

Support on the x server itself has dropped off precipitously since Wayland hit the mainstream and most small x11 DEs are trying to build off of WM like wayfire or wlroots.

I don’t think kde plasma was the only one. Anyway, it just feels natural for xwayland to stop pushing for feature parody and for focus to switch over to Wayland after a while.

The biggest target for developers is the Ubuntu/Debian platform so their switch to Wayland should motivate other projects and paid applications to at least take notice.

New projects will try to support both but typically will focus more on Wayland. There’s already an unintentional incentive to partially support xdg protocols Wayland relies on thanks to flatpak.

Once the desktops switch to Wayland and all distros ship with Wayland by default, support should slow.

Ideally, developers stop improving xwayland over time and go into maintenance mode for a bit. Once it goes into maintenance mode, developers should naturally fall off as it winds down.

If every desktop makes a very public announcement about the xwayland protocol being put into maintenance mode, actively supported apps should switch over. It’s up to the public how long they want to keep maintaining xwayland (open source etc).

You never watched the braindead slop TV in GTA IV and GTA V. The satire in GTA games is just so funny, especially for an American that deal with dumb politics and social intercourse.

His profile name makes me think of something you’d see on GTA TV.

If it’s going to compile without any warnings I’d rather the app crash rather than continue execution with rogue values as it does now.

There is so much room for things like corrupted files or undocumented behavior until it crashes. Without the compiler babysitting you it’s a lot easier to find broken variables when they don’t point to garbage.

I forgot to assign a variable, now it crashes %5 of the time. It’s wild how c doesn’t default variables to null or something.

Discord, slack, bitwarden, steam, Microsoft teams, visual studio code, balena etcher . Anyone else know of any electron apps or heavily modified version of chrome?😄

I don’t develop kernel modules, I use python. That’s pretty interesting though.

Do your code reviewers subscribe to the didn’t check looks good model? Joking btw.

I’ve set tabs to four spaces in vim because who the fuck defaults tab to eight spaces. That shit looks alien and pushes text off the screen fast.

Last day at the company, pushed over 5,000 commits. Just style changes, still passes all the checks.

I have a lot of respect for Biden. It takes a lot to admit that you might not be fit to serve anymore after listening to his peers, the public, and doctors and deciding to step down. I would have voted for him anyway, but it’s rare to see someone forfeit their position like that.

It won’t really change my party vote, but I guess I have some reading to do in the next few weeks.

Your among friends here. I just didn’t have time for Gentoo

It’s fun to say something completely different when they ask what.

Good idea, they always repeat themselves when they see you sitting there with a confused and worried expression.😆

I guess I’m not that guy. I use arch Linux (had to say it for the memes)but I like coding, drawing, learning new languages, photography, and I’m thinking about picking up calligraphy someday.
