You don't understand how this works I think. The idea of this protocol is for the compositor to change how it does page flip in specific conditions. So just allowing a player, for example, to prefer visual bugs over latency on a specif

Wayland is frame perfect, and it's great. What's the issue with allowing users or the compositor to disable that in really specific case without sacrificing the frame perfect principle for all other uses? It's the best of bot

Taking screenshot just works, there's a fair amount of tools for it. The one difference is that some tools are compositor specific. I know there's automation tools like xdottool, never used those though. I never saw much differenc

You don't have to be a scientist to know that twinkies are not a healthy thing. Pretty much all ultra-processed food is bad for you, however the industrial cleaner used is claimed to be safe. And if you taste a real truffle you'll

Not really, distributions do not check every piece of code that is packaged and distributed. I just meant that centralising distribution does not make thing specifically safe neither. Some form of audit over flathub would be nice though, bu

I've used both (OpenRC and systemd). I like the simplicity of OpenRC and still uses it on a few servers running on Gentoo, but on a laptop/desktop I think systemd is a better fit, having user services with user level logging for e

That's the way advertisement works on the web. You have a website, you host ads, google pushes its ads via your website and you get paid for it. The phrasing text advertisement comes from the fact that this is quite an old initiative.
