On that same machine KDE 1 or 2 absolutely flys and is what I would call a bloatware desktop with a bazillion bells and whistles.Last edited by cb88; 03 August 2020, 12:56 PM.

They should do QA on an RPI, if you get "your system is too slow", it means the software are garbage.
We had machines with FAR less resources than an RPI that ran X-Windows and a full DE just fine and everything were very snappy ...Last edited by Raka555; 03 August 2020, 09:27 AM.

This is a nuisance in libinput, not GNOME! Come on -_-
You should have said this!

Changing a simple wording does not even require coding skills, come on.
Edit: Who liked your post?! Who thought blaming the system de facto is a good idea?Last edited by tildearrow; 03 August 2020, 08:26 AM.

So you may see messages popping up in the form of "event processing lagging behind by XYZms, your system is too slow" This is a warning only and has no immediate effect. Previously we would only notice (and warn about) this when it affected an internal timer. Note that these warnings do not show an issue with libinput, it shows that the the compositor is not calling libinput_dispatch() quick enough.
I also have to point out that "Don't like it? Then contribute." is about as baseless as it gets. In order to do a meaningful contribution you have to have a firm grasp on the programming language, a firm grasp on the project and how it does things, and the time to even get around to it. For a good majority of the world, the best you can expect people to do is to submit a detailed bug report and let the people who have a firm grasp on the language and project fix it.
That's like when people say "read the source code". The Linux kernel has someodd 28 million lines of code. If you read each line for 3 seconds it would take around 2661 years of reading code to finish just the kernel. So the next time someone says "read the sources", remember that with the Linux kernel in 2020 kernel you would have had to start reading it sometime around 600BC just to do a quick, hasty, once-over glance reading of the kernel.

What about I try soon and see? If they refuse, you become a big shame.
