I don’t use gnome and after switching to hyperland prefer not to have my compositor draw anything other than windows, so I can understand where you’re coming from, but for gnome i’d want to keep it, namely cause its used for:
No the vast majority of people really don’t need this. The feature can be nice to have. If you don’t have it you’ll go around tapping your credit card like normal. That’s how I see most people around me make payments.
You could make the argument that not having these bells and whistles can make your platform seem less attractive and to an extent that might be true but I think you’re missing the point.
No one said Linux phones should launch and be immediately competitive with android/apple flagship products day one.
People who care enough about FOSS and privacy have ample reason to accept the trade off of not having some of these niche features.
Never used this feature. I think this sort of QOL feature is something I’d be happy to wait on. The ecosystem doesn’t need this to launch at least imo.
I love hyprland and even anime but having waifus prebuilt into the compositor installation is too much.
Anything I can do through my banking app I could just as email do through the browser
How many things to you really use your phone for anyway.
Personally all I need is the basic things like a camera app, maps, authenticator, web browser, pdf reader, note taker, clock, etc.
It’s really not that much
Yea I mean it’s possible, but the sooner you bite the bullet and use a more modern language, the sooner you’ll get back to the same level of maturity and start having productivity dividends being paid out thanks to things like being able to get your compiler to prevent use after free bugs and the like.
Not sure how much sudo specifically needs this, maybe new commits are rare. As long as it stays out of LTS for the time being I’m all for it though.
Also not quite sure what you mean by “footprint”
Are you talking about the binary size or the fact that C has a tiny and straightforward language spec?
If you’re using Ubuntu make sure you’re using the most recent LTS release instead of the latest one. Stability issues shouldn’t be a problem on those.
Let the base kick ooooooooooo AAE-O-A-A-U-U-A- E-eee-ee-eee AAAAE-A-E-I-E-A- OO-ooo-oo-oo-oo EEEEO-A-AAA-AAAA
I understand your perspective but at the end of the day all you’re doing is justifying why you should be able to disregard this guy’s blog post under the premise that he comes off as someone who’s full of himself.
At the end of the day vaxray’s ability to state that “almost all the other compositors suck beyond opening terminal windows” should be tied to whether or not the statement is true/justifiable; it shouldn’t be tied to whether or not people can’t stand the optics of it.
I’m not the one going around making statements that imply reliable wayland compositors can just be readily whipped up and shipped out.
You can complain about the guy’s ego if you feel like he’s talking up his product too much, but if you’re going to reject valid statements he’s making under the assumption that they’re all self-motivated and therefore incorrect, then you should be able to justify the position.
Oh lit so you wrote up your own compositor?
I ended up coding my own.
Lots of stuff I’d want in an applications launcher on hyperland. I’d need it to have all the functions of the important system indicators and essentially take the role of the top panel in gnome.
Well,.that’s one way to solve the problem of not expanding your editor var correctly…
Regardless of whoever is voted in in my country (Canada) no politicians will be capable of facilitating a system where in the average working citizen can comfortably afford food and shelter.
No one can do this because there is overwhelming sentiment that any attempt to socialize necessities necessarily devolves into some kind of dictatorship.
If you want to suggest I should align myself with those people you’re going to have to do a little better than fear mongering because the writing is on the wall for how the country is going to end up if we keep following this route.
Being able to vote for one of three people who are either unwilling or unable to ensure some basic standard of living for me is pretty damn low on my hierarchy of needs.
In short it’s essentially a protocol that defines what type of requests must be sent between applications and a compositor.
Web browsers can work from day one. I used my web browser for all my mobile banking for months when a bug rendered the app unusable.
Tap payments might not work until banks make apps for it (or more likely until android compatibility layers are provided) but you’d have to be pretty petulant to suggest that this feature not having first class support from day one makes a device unusable.
Google is going the way of apple-like full control over their mobile devices while even lower end modern day phones are easily capable of surpassing the computational needs of 99 percent of daily users. The use case for mobile linux devices is growing all the while cost per unit sold decreases.
