5 days agoThey have been a supporter / promoter of KDE for a long time, would seem logical to me that KDE would go with suse.

Wondering why this isn’t built on opensuse.
For what it’s worth, Kent said they plan to drop the experimental flag next year.
122·1 month agoThe main reason is that Dbus is not available during early stages of boot. There are many others.
Varlink seems to be better or the same compared to dbus in all except two things:
- json doesn’t handle 64bit integers, it handles 52bit (or 54bit?) (size of mantissa for floats)
- you cannot (yet) list all things connected to the bus
Details here:
There are some really nice designs here. I really hope that KDE finally gets to pay attention to this. I love simplification of it.
One thing I don’t like here is the login screen. There is too much stuff on it. I think gnome’s login screen, as it is now, is fantastic.
And one more thing, proposal for mindset change: not everything has to be a widget. Some things (like shell) could have layouts: layout as current plasma/windows, layout as gnome, layout as Mac, layout as Win8… If things get well thought out, you can integrate this and switch layouts and not di*k around with widgets. Less moving parts, less problems.

It’s probably a discussion for allowing Ukraine to do what they want with long range weapons.
Russia has made pretty direct statements about what happens then - they will consider NATO to be in direct war with Russia.
I think this number is overblown. Production useful doesn’t have to mean 1:1.
Running it without all graphics drivers would be fine for server use. Also, not all filesystems need to be ported: basic ones should be enough for start. But not only servers, home routers run Linux kernel…
If every OEM starts contributing their drivers in rust, this could move quickly…
Who was the guy that had a lot of pauses with mmmmmm when talking?
Why would they put effort into changing something which works for them with the risk of breaking things?
The sentiment is similar to climate change deniers. Why would we stop with fossil fuels when they work, people have jobs, etc. And why would we risk breaking the power grid?
And as long as that works for them, they won’t actively change anything.
Wayland on gnome and Ubuntu is already the default. It seems to me you have to actively change the default to x.
It would be interesting to see in which scenario x is better than wayland. The only reason I can think of is an (old) Nvidia card. With new Nvidia’s I guess the statement would otherwise be ‘i will not use it until they fix Wayland’
Depends on the timeline.
X crashed way more for me on kde than Wayland on gnome. ‘Never’ is quite the statement.
Right. And I’m interested if there are some legitimate needs for you to run x until it stops working.
Or is this just a revolt?
Why would someone stay with x even though it’s deprecated, architecturally broken and unmaintainable
Until I cannot run software on X11, I won’t switch over knowingly.
Please explain
Maybe check how long it is already going, so it can give you some confidence. Forgejo is a fork of gitea, which is a fork of gogs.
Also, codeberg, a nonprofit from Germany, is supporting development.
https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/
The codebase history of Forgejo and its predecessors predates Codeberg. However, since 2022, Codeberg is backing the development of Forgejo as an umbrella organization.
This looks awesome.
Looks like it could be a very good alternative to mutter and kwin.
Questions:
- what about Vulkan instead GL? Should be more performant and use less battery. Especially if it is meant to also work on mobile.
- is Louvre drawing those window decorations?
- there is some overlap with https://github.com/winft/theseus-ship - any idea for a collaboration there?
- there seems to be a company behind, while I didn’t investigate, are there plans for further development that you would publish, is there a way to influence those plans (suggestions, donations, some other way)
- any plans to make a shell around it?
- it is mentioned that this is a library, but obviously there is a working compositor. Regardless if this is a technology demonstrator, would it be possible to publish a compositor with decent theming and a few distinct layer modes (classic windows with taskbar, windows 8 like, Mac, gnome, ubuntu). I guess many smaller Linux DEs would consider it then…
- how does it compare to kwin/mutter?
Ok, so rpm-ostree was the reason. Was not aware suse Lacks this…
