Are there any material advantages gained by linux distributions by providing cli tools, vi less, entire shells? Do they gain an ability to enter and control new market segments, or ability to control standards than everyone else must follow

The funny part is, that it is a personal account. Business account is in different bank, and the communication there was much harder (obviously by someone not trained in communication and having to talk to me as unplanned part of their job)

You would be surprised. My bank calls me once every few months, if everything is ok, and if there are is something that is bothering me and could be improved, or if they can help with something. At first I thought it is some marketing progr

Shield does support VP9 as such; what it doesn't support is VP9 Profile 2 (i.e. 10 and 12 bit decoding).

It doesn't do AV1 in hardware. Not yet necessary today, but nice to have for future proofing.

It is not for protecting user secrets. It has nothing to do with users. It is about protecting against "after hours" production runs. If you, as a vendor, order manufacturing 1000 pieces of widgets, you want to be sure that only t

It is a standardized, known quantity. Just like McDonald's: it isn't the best meal you can get, whether in quality, nutrition or taste. But you will know what you are getting, even when you appear on the other side of the planet.

It was always available in file browser. The long-standing issue was preview in file picker dialog, not file browser. It is available in GTK4 file picker. You know, major release, able to break ABI.

It is never finished; there's always something missing. It took X almost 4 decades to get where it is and during the ride it was abandoned as a mess. It was never finished either. We see also arguing that something is missing, while it

It is more than event routing, you do not really want for any client to be able to claim any combination, without any further insight by either compositor or user. Ideally, what you want, is for the client expose a set of (described) action

Xinerama came with the price of not supporting mixed DPI. It was logically a single screen, just with irregular shape, so all screens had to be same DPI (and bit-depth, but that's not an issue nowadays).

Millions were invested into Automotive Grade Linux, of which Wayland is a part. Minus the xdg-shell stuff, of course, which isn't needed there.

Things "worked" by the virtue of being able to snoop on everything and inject anything; which is exactly what is wrong about the approach. On the other hand, Rome wasn't built in a day either. You want to do it right, not qui

I've been using Linux since Slackware 3.0; at the time, there were X servers that were specific to a certain card manufacturers/chipsets and you symlinked the correct one. Then you configured xf86config.

That's not really true; the default firewall set is configured by quickset. What roles are available in quickset depends on the device; routers/APs for SOHO segment do have sensible firewall rules there. You used a switch with L3

It has slightly higher overhead than normal process, because the process will use a different set of userland libraries than your host normally uses (increasing memory usage) and the filesystem inside the container has a high chance to be a
