A very useful feature.

In theory xorg has the exact same problem, but I've hardly ever had its process crash. Usually it's the wm that crashes, and that's easy to solve.

Around 2000, I saw regular X11 crashes. By 2005 or sp they were gone. I can't say I miss them. One of the reasons for still living with X is the software stability. Happy to hear that's one thing less to care for.

Why do you use flutter? Does it survive a Wayland compositor crash?

Dart, which is useless outside Flutter, and the way Dart 1.0 was managed.

> Welcome Center now has a mobile-friendly layout. The content itself is still fairly desktop-focused, but this will soon change as well!

Why can the desktop have a desktop-focused look and the mobile a mobile-friendly layout? Said another way, Why does the experience for everyone must degrade the most popular common denominator?
