Sorry I misread your comment, ignore me. Although I will add: It might be possible that someone gets high-DPI working eventually in XWayland. It's unlikely that X11 will ever support multi-DPI in the same way as Wayland. There is an op

If this is working correctly on other apps, then it's probable that Chrome's Wayland support is not complete yet.

Use of the term "alsa" is confusing here because ALSA refers to both the kernel interface in /dev and the userspace API in alsalib. The ALSA userspace API is mostly not relevant to applications, new apps probably will not tar

I don't know, I see a lot of smaller apps that are only deployed as Flatpaks or Snaps or whatever. It doesn't seem to make a difference to them that the audience is small. (And to be honest, none of this stuff is exciting or new t

I've read some of your old blog posts so I know where you're coming from, and I generally agree with your comment. However it seems they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Without using a stack like this, the app deploymen

Nix is not mutually exclusive with Flatpaks though. You can easily enable flatpaks on a NixOS install. You don't need to choose between them.

I share your frustration, the people who you were talking to likely also had a misconception of what evolution and scientific theories in general are, or were stating it poorly. It's not accurate to describe it as a "belief"

Those are old and obsolete patches for GTK2 and GTK3 that to my knowledge were never submitted upstream, and currently it's too late to do that as GTK2 and 3 are not being developed anymore. If there is an open merge request for GTK4 t

>I want my app to display with no borders because that’s evidently what the user wants. This is not the same as GNOME not supporting xdg-decoration and having apps with no borders. From the app developer perspective it is the same though

Can you please show me one of these merge requests that was submitted? If there is any chance of it getting merged, the patch should be against GTK4 master.

Overall this isn't wrong, but just to make a few corrections here... >its default is to send all your OpenGL operations to the X server so that the X server can do the actual OpenGL things This isn't the case with any modern GL

Your comment's really negative and disrespectful, please don't do that. If your test for drawing programs is "makes it simple to draw a circle" than Microsoft Paint would be better than both of them.

That's a great suggestion but it doesn't cover all the bases. It won't cover areas of unconscious bias. Plus some people just don't want to be convinced no matter what you do. This can be evident when a biased culture is
