It’s killing what effectively is the backbone of what makes up Linux and the open source world - diversity.

I was talking in general, didn’t have Wayland in mind in particular… but I did have systemd in mind.

Still, we are where we are thanks to evolutionary dead ends (amongst other things).

Someone on reddit.

Well explained 👍.

Other than that, it doesn’t really bring much to the table currently. Not everyone needs (or wants) HDR and many of the other features that I would like to have are still in the works, so… I don’t really see a reason to use it, at least not now.

I don’t use it at all, I just repackage stuff that I need for my distro’s package manager… if they’re not in the repos.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Doesn’t mean I agree with it. It’s still an interesting topic to discuss IMO, hence the repost.

VFR 🤨… I mean, does anyone actually use that? It flopped for video content, I seriously doubt anyone is gonna use that on a PC.

DirectDraw is an MS specific thing, part of DirectX. How does that fit into Wayland?

The second, I would actually LOVE to get in any frame server, X or Wayland, but that will most probably never happen.

When Wayland can do and run everything X11 can, without problems, plus everything it promisses it can do, then I’ll make the switch. Till that time comes, I’m sorry, but it’s just not for me 🤷.

It doesn’t exist as far as I know.

There are single parents, caregivers with disabled and/or elderly, folks who need a reliable computer for their studies, and in general people who simply need something that JUST WORKS.

This is also one of the many reasons why Linux as an OS fails to establish a bigger user base. Of course, this is one of the smallest problems, but it still is.

Like Linus said, every tool every dev made was usually because they wanted to fix problems in their workflow, not because users needed something that they can provide. Sure, I’d also look at things from this perspective. After all, god made his beard first, not everyone else’s, but the trouble is, things don’t really move fast enough in that direction. Don’t get me wrong, there has been progress in GUI tools, but not enough IMO. Most tools are terminal based, and while that is not a problem for most UNIX type OS enjoyers, that is a problem for your averige Joe. That might not be the crowd we’re trying to get off of MS and Apple products, but they still play an important role IMO, more of a guide as how a UI should look and feel to the average user. Linux and other UNIX based OSes kinda messed up with this one. Things are getting better though, have to say. I don’t use some of the UIs for stuff people usually do, but I have tried a few and I have to say that things are moving in the right direction the past few years. Just not fast enough…

I have also jumped ship from MS, but it is actually a cool feature. I don’t use it that frequently, but a few times a month, yeah.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Actually, it kinda is… the mindset is mostly the problem IMO.

His sense of humor is mostly ironical, which I love to be honest.

lol 🤣🤣🤣… me and my sister used to play dexter and didi. She did all sorts of stupid things in my modest electronics workshop and I would chase her all over the appartment 🤣. She even called me dexter and I called her didi. It was a blast to be honest, I miss those days…

IDK if the player in Connect is integrated or not. In Jerboa, it just uses whatever browser you have set up as the default one and uses the integrated media player in the browser.

Well, I’m a 38 year old engineer that lives in a condo… you totally nailed it sir 😂.
