Not interested in discussing merits and validity here but some bugs I have are US-age-of-consent-old. Some could be called features or are just UX changes or bad integration with WMs and KDE. Well, outside my personal…
Isn't XFCE doomed to have many of the issues inherited by GTK 3 and now 4? Do they fork things or just accept their fate? Even more so with Wayland in mind.
Yes there are a good amount of people who genuinely enjoy GNOME but what that GNOME is I don't really know. Ubuntu is heavily customized. Pop!_OS too and they are even going to release their own version of it, maybe…
Nix and similar projects are all going to be eaten alive by immutable distributions, Flatpak and new projects - that might work just like Nix but get the user experience right, and make packaging and maintenance easier.…
Pretty sure 99% of regular people would be happy if there was a desktop with GNOME 2 feature parity but with a good Wayland compositor and probably some modern features that would come from that (multimonitor, VRR,…
I was talking about XWayland and the other problems Wayland devs have mentioned like Pipewire, poor performance, current and future issues FLOSS developers can't fix on their own without being able to patch and only…
I wouldn't do that. Only move to Wayland when there is a real path for what you want and need. And it does it without hacks. About porting I would look at what MATE is doing or at the code of Wayland shells, protocols…
Maybe I have reading comprehension problems but this article sounds so conflicting and presumptuous. Is it a sales pitch or not? If it is, even when it says it isn't, I would start by looking at Arcan's bus factor, and…
It came a long way, it's very impressive what they managed to do in a short period of time. Not only Valve but the community in general even if they weren't directly involved with the gaming part. Manage your…
Nice ignore the part where they realized Mir was useless. They even went on an edit spree in their wiki page. If Mir was so good and superior they would just keep developing it. Isn't that obvious? If the company who…
A good lesson for the anti-FLOSS crowd so heavily present in this website. I'll be the first to admit Linux desktops are full of flaws (although there are other options), just like every other OS but they could be fixed…
The worse Chromium gets the better. It will take decades to reverse the damage that HN and many web developers did by pushing a single browser engine instead of fighting back. Next, Microsoft needs to get on top again…

It's not for nothing that Snap is considered dangerous by SUSE and is not officially supported. They even fail basic upstream responsibilities. https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3906 > A year later, in the Ubuntu 20.04…
