>There are several Wayland compositors that don't implement that feature. Can you list some that aren't weston or dead projects?

Sure you can do everything with a library, and that's how you end up with library hell, or dependencies that will be hard to get rid of or replaced later, because how big they become or how broken the API was (e.g. fontconfig). But bei

Gnome developers actively hate their users and non-gnome developers. This issue takes the cake: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/217

This might have something to do with the GPU you use. Alacritty spawns instantly for me on AMD GPU with mesa drivers.

It's technically possible to create a wayland compositor without GL/GLES/Vulkan, but only SHM clients will work, unless you go with mixed approach which wouldn't be zero-copy. (Or of course you could also use llvmpipe or

Used to use termite for years before moving to alacritty, I'm glad it has keyboard hints navigation now. Thanks thestinger for the great terminal emulator.

I agree with you completely to the extend that I feel like world has grown little bit weird recently. "White supremacy" is especially ironic, considering there's countries where white people were oppressed and sold as slaves

Looks more like shaded art to unshaded lineart rather than sketch. Sketches are usually way more messy, like a blueprint for the final product.

Now do tiling wm and package manager (with easy source builds from recipes) and it'll start to become a decent OS.

While i want static linking, i would still use package manager for convenience and because it provides some form of curation. (Packages in repos are usually not malicious)

Thats a good point

Thats good to hear. Darling devs also went with kernel module approach. Its weird wine devs did not do the same until now. Wineserver is nice but as we see, its sometimes impossible to do accurate emulation of some apis there. https:/

Performance wise yes, but it also absolutely beat all of the solutions in space used, and no there was no compression involved.

The protobuf itself as format isnt that bad, just the default implementations are bad. Slow compile times, code bloat and clunky apis / conventions. Nanopb is much better implementation and allows you to control code generation better

It exists, but sadly the market share is for ios/android and thats what i get paid for. Pine also seems interesting.

I think you might need a reality check and see how many systems run C code in production.

Simple color picker app I made is 25MB. Even 10MB sounds pretty large for a simple app. But what I'm trying to say is more that I don't feel very hygienic considering using all these abstractions to develop a simple app, if I coul

Ironically for hobby projects I've been using react-native as well, because it really makes developing a app faster, even though it will be bloated as hell. It's funny how even flutter decided to go with "new language" r

There might be reasons for everything, but all those reasons soon become irrelevant when you try to merge a code that also changed the project file. Have fun. Xcode project generators at least solve this somehow, but they'll always pl

It's pretty sad how bad both iOS and Android development ecosystems are. Xcode is crap, homebrew is crap, gradle is crap ... Basically all tools hate automation. SPM seems like thing that could make things better, but it's swift o

Its not really linux but elf loader + shim that implements enough of linux kernel to run wine

Its not actually emulating a real linux kernel. It implements its own "kernel" and elf loader: https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine/tree/master/source/kern... so this basically is light WS

Brew and CocoaPods are quite horrible hacks, but still better than nothing. Apple systems aren't very nice if you have to delve out from the non apple garden.
