With X.org + i3 + picom (GLX backend, animations and vsync enabled) I get: 665.8 ms ± 19.3 ms So it doesn't seem to have any significant influence either.

Did you watch and understand it? This presentation is nothing but a highly one-sided and subjective talk, which gladly bends the truth or leaves out crucial details to get a good laugh from the audience. Take the whole part about "X te

I'm not really sure what you're getting at. Like I never said there's no point in using or developing Wayland. I was addressing the statement, that Wayland was build by former X11 developers, which supposedly makes them purel

So the fact that someone was a developer of X, means their resilient to following some agenda or non objective opinion? There's a really famous and often quoted talk about X vs Wayland from one of those developers and it was clearly ma

When I bought my Thinkpad (one year after its release and with lots of recommendations) it took more than a year before it worked reliably without any kernel panics and weird lockups. External monitor support when docked was broken for even

Actually most of the crashes I had with Sway were in fact related to compositing and window management. including stupid stuff like crashing because sway couldn't decide which window to focus after hiding another.

My notebook is using Intel graphics and there's definitely no screen tearing nowadays on X.org with compositing enabled.

And our university staff and students have to upload numerous files per week in that way and since you claimed they're doing it wrong I'd like to hear your alternative to that.

And what about the servers you're not in control over, like web services which expect you to submit pdfs, videos or pictures like a resume, exercises and their solutions, scientific papers, a picture for printing...?
103.
by wander_homer 6y ago
Well, for one using a file picker doesn't imply mouse usage and secondly, how would you do something like uploading a pdf or picture in your web browser?

No, the GTK application needs to explicitly add support for that feature, by using the newer GtkFileChooserNative API, introduced in GTK 3.20, instead of the older and more extensive GtkFileChooser API. In my experience it's still a co

by wander_homer 6y ago
No, the issue is that an application needs to implement the preview widget and add it to the GTK file picker, hence this work needs to be duplicated by every application and of course most applications don't do that. But if the applica

I'm not sure what this supposed to demonstrate. I literally said that Arch Linux probably applies downstream patches to a lesser degree than Ubuntu. My point was that the person I responded to made it sound as if Arch Linux doesn'

by wander_homer 6y ago
What? Are you maybe talking about the extent of downstream patching? Because Arch Linux does insert it's own "junk" into upstream, but probably to a lesser extent than Ubuntu or maybe Debian.

Once people pay me enough to maintain old versions, I'll gladly spend some time on it. Until then I'd rather look forward and use my limited time on things I care about and if a new API allows me to do that quicker, easier or more
112.
by wander_homer 6y ago
If you're solution to the issue is, that upstream may only depend on 10 year old API/ABIs, then I'll gladly misbehave. Why should I hold back my software for old, but still supported distributions like RHEL 6?

I don't see how Wayland would improve security in my case. There are basically two types of applications on my system: some which can't be used in sandboxes in a reasonable way and those which work well in sandboxes. In the first

The paper already starts of with multiple premises that don't apply to any of my arguments. 1. I never put forward an argument against gay marriage, yet the paper is all about debunking arguments against gay marriage. 2. I don't c

Like I said, I'm fine with any partnership being able to enter a legally recognized marriage, if its 7 men, two siblings, man and woman, three man and three women, ... if the state provides marriage within its legal system. So yes, if
