The way I heard it, it would require massive internal re-architecting of their compositor to be able to support it... which doesn't surprise me. I They've...

[ssokolow]

He's asking for reassurance that running an SDL application under KDE will still use the KWin-provided SSDs, rather than forcibly drawing its own CSD...

[ssokolow]

Probably has the same problem as a pure microkernel... great in theory, but not good enough performance....

[ssokolow]

That makes me glad that, when I need Chrome, I'm running Ungoogled Chromium in Incognito Mode in Flatpak with manually narrowed permissions so it can...

[ssokolow]

Very important feature. With PulseAudio, I like to configure Audacious Media Player to use the ALSA emulation so that spinning the scroll wheel on its...

[ssokolow]

That's better. Glib is what provides the object system and/or event loop used by tons of things written in C, including GStreamer. It's so widely used...

[ssokolow]

OK, that's not exactly the most compelling option for open-source. If it's not a game, Qt's QML provides a GPU-backed retained-mode GUI and GTK is aiming...

[ssokolow]

Is this without source access (like a non-gratis version of how Sciter's free tier works?) or with source access?...

[ssokolow]

But I thought game development technologies were competing on who allowed you to earn more revenue before you had to pay a single cent these days....

[ssokolow]

Ahh. The "Wait! Why are you running Windows? Linux gives you all the pieces you need to build the desktop of your dreams!" approach that leads...

[ssokolow]

Ugh. Typing something like Nau<TAB> is much more convenient than something like Deepin Fil<Tab>. Must everything be infected by Flatpak "Reverse...

[ssokolow]

My point is that even Nautilus, official file manager for the desktop most enamoured with displaying generic names, is officially known as Nautilus. That's...

[ssokolow]

Your desktop should have an option to use the generic name data from the .desktop files in the launcher... just don't come crying to me when you have...

[ssokolow]

And? That's what the kernel devs chose to agree to. you upstream something and they'll refuse to accept contributions elsewhere that change the APIs it...

[ssokolow]

Similar reason to why I use Private Browsing Mode. Scratchpads for porny stuff that I don't want to admit to.



True. I think...

[ssokolow]

They probably just want the Linux kernel devs to maintain it for free as internal kernel APIs get rewritten. That's typically the reason you upstream...

[ssokolow]

It's probably that attitude that's responsible for Linux's OOM killer still being garbage. How are you going to fix the problem if you don't have an ...

[ssokolow]

To make abuse of the trading card system for profit more difficult and costly, Steam locks you at level 0 until you pair up a credit card and have sent...

[ssokolow]

It's a nifty piece of hardware. If it's as unlocked as they claim, I'd love to slap some Steam-free Linux on it and load it up with a launcher of my choice...

[ssokolow]

I'm locked out then. My Steam account exists only for GOG Connect and as a backup proof of purchase, and it's still locked at level 0 because 1794 games...
