System76 Adding XWayland Support & Other Improvements To Its COSMIC DE

[Artim]

Why should I waste my time arguing with someone who is clearly only posting their own opinion with no actual factual backing. When you crap shit like "Pop! OS is shit" you have already brought down the maturity to the level of a basement teenager.

Sure, because their Reddit is a total secret and nobody can just open it and look for themselves. So nobody could be able to notice that already every Kernel update brings huge problems with it. And clearly you have never used it yourself, otherwise you'd have noticed the errors. At least if you had an actually good distribution to compare with to notice the inexcusable state of it and don't come straight from Windows where you had to learn to live with even more problems.

I don't know what you mean by feature (when you say needsinfo feature) but you can just make a label needsinfo and in github labels and be queried.

Bugzilla has a needsinfo flag where you can mark a bug as "needsinfo from [username]" and not only will that show up on the issue, it'll trigger a special e-mail to the person who was needsinfo'd and that person can also see a badge in the top of every page showing their needsinfo count and clicking on it will take them to a list of things they're needsinfo'd on.

Replying to the bug will automatically un-needsinfo you unless you uncheck the "clear needsinfo" checkbox at the bottom of the form.

It's certainly grown a lot of new features (I host my stuff on Github), but I still see the KDE crew using Bugzilla features it lacks. (Does GitHub even have a proper needsinfo feature yet? I haven't seen anything that lets me pull up a list of pending info requests.)

Thanks for proving you have absolutely no arguments o of your own.

Yeah for the distributions you cherry pick



Cool opinion bro

Does it fit their definition of good OOB experience that connecting an external screen is problematic because the HDMI port is hooked to the dGPU rather than the iGPU?

this is one of the problems they aim to solve, both gnome and KDE have lack luster handling for multi-gpu, though at least KDE is slightly better. both are pretty bad.

Or does it fit their good OOB experience that the fan continuously goes on and off when the CPU load is constant? Or does it fit their good OOB experience that the keyboard flexes more than kids' toys?

can't say I have seen either complaints about s76 personally so I won't comment on these. the first sounds like a standard bad fan curve.

Nahh. Firefox fits in on my KDE desktop pretty well...

You mean CSD frame of firefox somehow fits KDE? Well, that's great. But window's frame is something you usually ignore, what about site's internal controls? You know, for last 10 years every site comes with it's own GUI toolkit. Do they all fit?

ironic given that it's less "native" than the GTK apps I've more or less completely kicked out of my desktop as GNOME-isms slowly leak their way into GTK apps that don't want to be GNOME apps.

There is nothing ironic when someone inventing excuses for his hatred. What is ironic is inability to see how inconsistent is your demand for consistency.

Seriously though, there's a difference between a website and a desktop application...

No, there is no any difference. Especially with linux. There is a smooth range between website, single page application, electron app, and a set of different toolkits, none of which can be called "system".

I did recently write a userstyle for Wikipedia,

There are plenty of hobbies. Someone builds a fortress for dwarfs.

to crunch away all that gratuitous whitespace in their new theme.

That is not the same. Removing some whitespaces doesn't prove any urgency to have consistent themes. I mean even after you've crumpled their new theme you haven't got something you can call "my custom look".

That might have been true of github in the past but they vastly improved this. Its still simple in design but its more capable then it used to be (I use it all the time for work).

Sure, that must be the reason why GNOME is the default in so many distributions

Yeah for the distributions you cherry pick

and runs so much better than anything S76 has ever created...

Cool opinion bro

I don't spend enough time on Gitlab to know what features it has, but Github's issue tracker is too simplistic for their use-cases. That's why both KDE and Mozilla use Bugzilla. Of the trackers that support features that advanced, it's the best of a bunch of bad options.

I think we have different use cases but I definitely agree with KDE's issue tracker. I really wish OS projects would move either to Github or to Gitlab already

I suspect that's why KDE runs both a Gitlab instance at invent.kde.org AND a Bugzilla at bugs.kde.org and embeds a link in the Gitlab sidebar which allows you to jump direct to the Bugzilla entries for the project you're on.
