Not personally using tiling set up, but I think KDE has some scripts for KWin that allow doing that. So you can use KDE for that purpose.

That "psychopath" (more exactly - sociopath) values his palaces and riches more than burning in a nuclear war. I.e. he can bluff and blackmail, but he is a coward who is obsessed with money and hedonistic pursuits. That's why

Just don't use Gnome. KDE is fine with server side decorations and it's false that Wayland mandates client side ones. Wayland ≠ Gnome and Gnome itself indeed made a bunch of pretty questionable decisions. But if anything it's

Separation of responsibilities is good, instead of having a mix of everything but not well enough situation with X11.

by shmerl 2y ago
The main issue is that X11 is an increasingly unmaintained case and all new development happens with Wayland anyway. So as long as you can deal with lack of support - I guess no need to move, but otherwise Wayland with KDE has been well usa

Well, time to move with the progress. I've been using KDE Wayland session for several years already.

May be it's about a higher layer of ALSA API, not about actual hardware drivers.

Pipewire is a major development that's especially important for Wayland desktop. It was hard to miss unless you haven't used Linux in a long time.

by shmerl 2y ago
Don't worry, Pipewire is a very good development.

That's why normally private keys (like when used with ssh for example) are paired with something like a passphrase that should offer an additional layer of protection. But still, you (the owner of the private key) can access it. You sh

Passkeys are advertised as more convenient form of private / public keys approach. So how is that any different from other usage of private keys which are considered long term secrets? Incompetent users can compromise them now too. It

They might demand whatever they want, but it translates into "I want to control what you can do on your system". Which is basically another DRM-like idea. This should not be viewed as an acceptable approach. Because there is no en

That's not upstream yet. But they supposedly showed some interesting in nova too.

Compiler isn't open source? That feels like DOA in this day and age. There is ZLUDA already which is open. If they plan to open it up, it can be something useful to add to options of breaking CUDA lock-in.

Yes, indeed. This push for "AI has to do everything" is dumb. It seems to be the new buzzword and koolaid that has to be attached to every context just because.

That's the point. They don't care about Linux users and proper working with upstream despite having pools of money. So I'd avoid them on principle as a Linux user.

That's neat!

Well, Wayland support was a sore point for Nvidia for a very long time. And it's the prime example of why they don't see Linux as their normal support target. Otherwise they would have worked with upstream a long time ago, instead

Half baked support that fixes major issues at the rate of once per decade can hardly be called well. I would stay away from such garbage when possible. Now that tools like Blender and the like are increasingly picking up Vulkan support, the

Not really familiar with it, but hopefully they can get unstuck from Nvidia, especially on Linux. Only very recently things started improving it seems and not even with Nvidia's effort but outside community working on nova + nvk.

by shmerl 2y ago
Nvidia only cares about a specific market. I.e. it doesn't care about desktop users. That's what I was talking about. So despite their pools of cash, Nvidia is a trash company when it comes to Linux support.

From what I've read, it's very hard to make a 10 Gbps switch without relying on some blobs since those accelerator chip makers don't have any open drivers support. And you supposedly need those chips since switching it on the

This court is a farce. People appointed by Trump grant him immunity for his crimes. That's some circular Kafkian absurdity that shouldn't be happening.
