If these are for the older drivers then in most cases you would already be running in software mode.

For example Blender requires GL 3.x...

Discontinued? It never started!

Whilst I am not suggesting that they are scamming people. I am suggesting that their PineTab will be fantasy...

"Out of stock"

Has been in this state since the pinebook was released...

[kpedersen]

It is safe to say that it will be impossible to purchase a pinebook from them in Feb (or any other month for that matter). They don't actually manufacture...

It should be all or nothing boys!

$ convert oldVcs newVcs; rm -rf oldVcs

In one awesome command.

The dark theme is fine but how do I toggle the performance back to acceptable? I can't find it in the preferences.



Of course...

I imagine we will end up with something like this. X11 will just use Wayland as the underlying implementation instead of the dark murky underlying Xorg...

Didn't Gimp switch to Gtk 3.x?

The dark theme (shown here: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ve5vm.png) was a symptom of this change right?

Not if you install via the CD that comes with Xfce.

Basically it only comes with Gnome. If you install Gnome; you get Wayland. If you install...

Python in its entirety is larger than Vim. Seems a little inelegant to choose that. For those types of user, there is Visual Studio code....

[kpedersen]

People use window managers other than Gnome and Sway. As far as DEs go, possibly the majority use Xfce these days. So many fewer people use Wayland than...

This is quite interesting. Do you have any links to your projects or documentation you have been following?

Genuinely asking because my experience...

[kpedersen]

The best thing for Vim would be to artificially slow down vimscript so people use less plugins and actually learn Vim instead ...

[kpedersen]

Wayland is vapourware. Being just a protocol, it is too tiny that it doesn't do anything.

The only things that "do stuff" are wlroots...

[kpedersen]

Basically the broken scope of Wayland has killed the era of small innovative window managers written by independent developers.
You are now stuck...

[kpedersen]

Doesn't Wayland provide a reference compositor (Weston)? That is also pretty crap.

The main bulk of the work (because Wayland has such a...

This I actually agree with. For too long has Linux muddied the water of UNIX. I think systemd/Linux should be jettisoned and "allowed" to evolve...

When CP/M was THE desktop standard. Do you even know what the alternative was?

CP/M was not UNIX btw... You might be confusing it with something...

[kpedersen]

That's no good. My two main priorities are portability and performance.

Assembly (x86? sparc64? risc-v?) only scores points in the latter...

[kpedersen]

Its not for you to care. If your client does and you cannot provide. You lose the contract. A poor choice of language losing you a contract is just silly...
