X.Org Server Development Hits A Nearly Two Decade Low

ssokolow Refusing C++ is also valid. Especially if you end up pulling some CLA stuff anyway. It just another rabbit hole too deep.

KDE just have to accept their choices are deal breakers in many places.

CLA? Sorry, you’re out. C++ where not appropriate? Sorry, you’re out. Toxic people? Sorry, you’re out.

Wow, you really are literally the dumbest troll around..... While you're drowning, here, please enjoy this glass of water....

You've done a really fantastic job of proving ssokolow's point.

smitty3268 That really depends

Is KDE continuously ignored and sometimes ridiculed by the distributors, enterprise, mobiles and big orgs? Admittedly Yes. Even ignored to the level that very few would even notice or feel impacted if KDE just went away.

Question is who has the major responsibility for this sad cringe. Is it 1) a super bad conspiracy where everybody targets KDE. Or 2) KDE is not invited to the party anymore because KDE keeps insisting on bringing “friends” like C++ and Qt.

Feel free to follow your own advice.

Do you know anything about software development, or you simply throw around terms you've read on the internet?

Or not...

Um, literally every linux gamer on every thread on the subject will tell you that Wayland is garbage for gaming right now and that X11 is pretty much the only option. And from everything else I've seen, it actually does seem like Wayland is pretty much only used by devs/engineers. But good rebuttal to dude's comment.

[gardotd426]

I've been using Wayland on all of my physical Linux systems since about 2016. It's been solid.

As far as I can tell everyone who doesn't use Wayland is using Nvidia or has some strange edge case I would have never imagined needing.

Like playing video games? Modern game performance on Wayland is garbage and/or a nightmare to even get working with Wayland half the time. And hardly anyone that plays a lot of games uses Wayland. Yeah, super edge case.

I play Doom 2016, Stellaris, Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny and ooh, Peggle using a Ubuntu Gnome Wayland session. Those are all Steam games and work out of the box. I haven't noticed anything wrong with them.

He was referring to input lag, even if he didn't realize it, there is nothing that can be done about it. I mean really just put some heavy CPU load on and simply move the mouse, wayland has no way to synchronize output on input, the protocol simply doesn't do it. And it's especially a huge problem when gaming, lag can be like half a second, it's crazy. Wayland was -not- designed for desktop usage especially for gaming or really any low latency usage.

I use my 3900X for Android Studio NDK projects and Rust builds all the time. That is what I built it for. I have literally never seen a half second mouse lag.

Now, I have never tried to do 24 thread compiles while playing Doom 2016 at the same time, because that would be ridiculous.
