KDE had that pretty much since the invention of the mouse wheel.

I was very sad when KDE reintroduced the concept of “primary screen”.

It used to just be the current screen, which meant that when I wanted to game or watch something on my projector, I just dragged steam or the folder with movies to the projector screen, then launched whatever I wanted, and it appeared on the screen I wanted it on.

Now I have to jerryrig kwin and a custom steam-in-gamescope Launcher to have games launch there. As a side effect, steam thinks my PC is a steam deck and therefore can’t be exited from inside of it, I have to right click the tray icon.

Horribly kludgy compared to “click launch game button on screen x, game opens on screen x”

Wayland isn’t coded at all, it’s a protocol, so clearly you know nothing.

Yeah, especially the argument about Wayland compositors taking down all apps with them when they crash: that’s just bad, no need to sugarcoat that.

A better argument would be that it’s not true: KWin keeps Qt apps alive, and they’re working on extending that to all apps. As a result, in the only crash I’ve experienced, I only lost my Firefox window, and zero data as all my tabs and form entry values got restored when I started it again.

I think the neoliberals have just co-opted the term, so it now usually means neoliberal. But it also means egalitarian.

That’s exactly the content I expected, but with much better execution.

They probably didn’t label their axes properly. FPS is a clearly defined metric, and there, more is better. This indicates that the conclusion (Linux is faster) holds. Since frame times have an entry with value “100” and all other values are lower, I assume that’s in percent, i.e. Arch Linux is the fastest and picked as comparison point, and the others are shown with relative performance to Arch.

The lines are completely arbitrary. Cows and pigs are at least as affectionate, social, and intelligent as dogs, so why draw a line between them?

Why?

Really tips you off that it’s actually about controlling women’s bodies for them and not really about “saving lives”

The Culture is amazing, it’s an anarcho-socialist utopia that’s much more radical free than Star Trek’s society.

… I feel the same way as you about billionaires appropriating it.

Not with that attitude

The Arch wiki made installing it very painless for me. Zero problems. Install it, remove PA, activate systemd service.

I’ve heard nothing but good, and replacing Pulseaudio was painless. It was Pulseaudio that people hated on in my experience

It’s funny, after your first sentence, I thought “yeah, that’s exactly the problem. Copy&paste fragile shell code for managing processes instead of standardized lifecycle management”. Then your second sentence painted that horrible mess as “less complicated”
