onlinepersona,

No one’s forcing you to use it. If you don’t want to, stick to X11. I’ve been testing wayland for a few months now and it’s fine. It does most of I want it to. I don’t need fancy fractional scaling, adaptive refresh rates, or whatever other fancy stuff people complain about that isn’t there. It shows my windows, allows screen-share, and… that’s it. Only thing missing for me is scriptability.

I’m not advocating for Wayland nor X11, just saying to stop shitting on devs who give a lot of free time to write opensource code that none of us have to pay for. All we have to do is be nice - maybe report bugs, maybe maybe donate if we have the means.

Go on then. Make it better, or make a better one.

Pointing out flaws is fine. Shitting on devs, is not, just like devs shitting on users isn’t.

Don’t be surprised if you attack somebody and they defend themselves.

Saying “X doesn’t work” is completely fine. Writing a rant about how opensource devs don’t think about people, yadayada. Buddy, these are people giving up their free time to write stuff. Nobody’s forcing you to use it. There are no guarantees provided, no warranties either. It’s provided as is.

The way you are is as if someone built a free house in the woods, you showed up and complained about how the door is creaky, the toilet leaky, a draft coming through the windows, and you wrote a review online disparaging the free work. Does that sound like good behavior to you?

Users can’t even add a feature request because they’re met with a storm of insults and snobbery.

How did you write the feature request? “I demand this be implemented because you’re providing a product and I’m a customer” or “It would be great if X were added for reason Y”? If it’s the latter and you were met with unkindness, of course that’s shit, no doubt.

We really need federated source forges on anonymous networks like I2P.

Then the devs could be anonymous and the their repos couldn’t be taken down.

Because they you can ignore takedown requests and just focus on working on the project, not fearing lawsuits.

Donations don’t exist.

I’m confused. Slint says it’s working with System76?

A great start to the week - @pop_os_official will collaborate with us to offer Slint as an alternative toolkit for application development on Cosmic Desktop.

onlinepersona,

Better in some ways, but it has the worst documentation of any distro I’ve seen so far. nixlang.wiki is trying to improve that
