No. Not much does or ever will natively. Which is why Wayland will always remain a niche toy.

Its funny, I remember KDE 3.5 being relatively...

OpenBox is not a complex piece of software. Two years to implement / port suggests something else is at fault. I am assuming an immature API / Wayland...

[kpedersen]

You are kidding right? The average computer user doesn't give a damn about having the very latest version of i.e XCalc.

The fact that Debian...

It is a very sad state of affairs when we don't trust the people we *have* to rely on. Doesn't that more make them our captors than our vendors?

This is cool. So long as Intel allows the card to work with the open-source drivers, I will be buying one and I imagine so will many others....

Last time I checked QEMU still had a broken keyboard implementation when dealing with DPMI (i.e via cwsdpmi.exe) running in MS-DOS / PC-DOS, etc.

IKEAs usage of CAD and solid modeling is probably high and it is nice to see Khronos listening to normal 3D users rather than allowing trendy game makers...

Let me fix that for you:
Python??? Good bye!

Besides, Python is such a mess that if it requires Python 3.x, it also requires Python...

So if it is actually backed by Mozilla, it is much closer to being part of the "standard library"? Like Java's javax.swing?

C/C++...

Steam will instantly take up more RAM due to 64-bit pointer sizes and you guys are celebrating? Odd.

I personally despise Steam (and Steam...

Actually very true, The OpenGL that comes with Windows *has* stagnated around OpenGL 1.2 for many years.

But that is the great thing about...

[kpedersen]

Steam stats mention: Linux is ~1%, macOS is ~8% and Windows is ~90%

So that means the market share of Metal cannot be any higher than 8%!...

micheal, if you don't want to ban him, can you at least change his username from "BeardedGNUFreak" to "BeardedAppleTwit" please so...

Agreed about the blobs but what I guess I meant to say is that the Raspberry PI is almost completely proprietary.
i.e It is almost like calling...

How is the ZeroPhone open source? It uses a Raspberry Pi (zero) which is full of proprietary Broadcom chips and blobs.

I do hope the meaning...

At first I assumed it had a C# scripting layer just for the less technically able developers. Then I looked through the github and realized that the entire...

OpenGL will likely outlive Vulkan. The reason being *is* because it is higher level so can be built ontop of things like Vulkan, Metal, Mantle, etc....

[kpedersen]

Honestly it is just easier for you to try it to understand how Gnome 3 / Wayland fails.

Set up a computer in your house with VNC and see...

[kpedersen]

Are you really saying that something like Windows 95 is a multi-user system because you can run multiple instances in a VM or container? That is what...

[kpedersen]

It is closer than you think. For VNC or RDP to work with proper sessions they each create a server (Xvnc, Xrdp respectively) which the X11 toolkits then...
