- flohofwoe 4y agoThe way this is implemented in Windows seems to be fundamentally broken though, because when my laptop is busy compiling in Visual Studio, I cannot even scroll UI views with the touchpad - exactly this would never happen on an Amiga, no matter how many things it does at the same time (my uneducated guess is that the touchpad driver - or any other thread related to input processing - isn't priority-boosted as well).
- XorNot 4y agoTo be fair Linux DE's all seem to have this problem too, so it's at least decently hard. I really wish it had some interest in the desktop space: no matter how loaded up my system gets, with what type of storage subsystem. there should never be a reason that my environment stops responding to user inputs. As it is, it seems like a ton of stuff is done in the "yeah we'll just mmap and let the kernel sort it out" which is absolutely the wrong approach for UI.
