>if no one shows up to fix them after years >volunteers to work on them This discussion happens literally every week on reddit and other places. Same arguments and same conclusions from both "sides", not worth having it, not

Not interested in discussing merits and validity here but some bugs I have are US-age-of-consent-old. Some could be called features or are just UX changes or bad integration with WMs and KDE. Well, outside my personal opinion that GTK appli

Isn't XFCE doomed to have many of the issues inherited by GTK 3 and now 4? Do they fork things or just accept their fate? Even more so with Wayland in mind.

Yes there are a good amount of people who genuinely enjoy GNOME but what that GNOME is I don't really know. Ubuntu is heavily customized. Pop!_OS too and they are even going to release their own version of it, maybe like a fork I don

Nix and similar projects are all going to be eaten alive by immutable distributions, Flatpak and new projects - that might work just like Nix but get the user experience right, and make packaging and maintenance easier. And no I'm not

Pretty sure 99% of regular people would be happy if there was a desktop with GNOME 2 feature parity but with a good Wayland compositor and probably some modern features that would come from that (multimonitor, VRR, ...). I just can't

I was talking about XWayland and the other problems Wayland devs have mentioned like Pipewire, poor performance, current and future issues FLOSS developers can't fix on their own without being able to patch and only NVIDIA can fix them

I wouldn't do that. Only move to Wayland when there is a real path for what you want and need. And it does it without hacks. About porting I would look at what MATE is doing or at the code of Wayland shells, protocols or things like Wa

Maybe I have reading comprehension problems but this article sounds so conflicting and presumptuous. Is it a sales pitch or not? If it is, even when it says it isn't, I would start by looking at Arcan's bus factor, and what refact

It came a long way, it's very impressive what they managed to do in a short period of time. Not only Valve but the community in general even if they weren't directly involved with the gaming part. Manage your expectations, I would

>Wayland won't be production ready in a long time. With NVIDIA it will never be production ready because NVIDIA doesn't support the Linux standards for Wayland and they don't allow developers to write/use good open dr

Nice ignore the part where they realized Mir was useless. They even went on an edit spree in their wiki page. If Mir was so good and superior they would just keep developing it. Isn't that obvious? If the company who already spent all

Canonical announced Mir out of nowhere in an attempt to gain control just like they are trying now with Snap. After the announcement of Mir their developers went to IRC and made abundantly clear they had no idea how Wayland works and that M

A good lesson for the anti-FLOSS crowd so heavily present in this website. I'll be the first to admit Linux desktops are full of flaws (although there are other options), just like every other OS but they could be fixed given enough mo

The worse Chromium gets the better. It will take decades to reverse the damage that HN and many web developers did by pushing a single browser engine instead of fighting back. Next, Microsoft needs to get on top again and show Google how it

It's not for nothing that Snap is considered dangerous by SUSE and is not officially supported. They even fail basic upstream responsibilities. https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3906 > A year later, in the Ubuntu 20.04
