For the same reason you're "forced" to use an X server under X11 or "forced" to have an engine in your car. You need something which...

[ssokolow]

Doubtful. That would ruin the whole point of this model of trust because "snap = trusted" would take you right back to the X11 days of "arbitrary...

Hey, I've been editing my vimrc so the gVim menus act as a quick reference card for the various commands I don't use frequently, so I know the feeling...

[ssokolow]

What's your typical uptime? I'm used to getting at least two months of uptime on a single login session... though I do have to turn off desktop compositing...

[ssokolow]

Aside from me just generally not being a fan of needlessly inefficient programs, I specifically work to optimize my system to account for those most-annoying...

[ssokolow]

Technically, GNU/MS. The ordering is significant because the slash is meant to be read as "on" or "over", like 1/2 being "1 over...

[ssokolow]

It's to implement what the Wayland protocol designers promised way back in the beginning... that cross-desktop protocols for things like screenshot tools...

I'll need to reply to this later when I can evaluate what you've said. I'm half-asleep right now, so the OpenSuSE system is half-incomprehensible to me...

[ssokolow]

I'm pretty fond of the Debian Free Software Guidelines, (which is a third definition alongside the Four Software Freedoms and The Open Source Definition)...

Yeah, no thanks. Microsoft can Microsoft all they want, but even they probably don't have the clout to get humans habituated to saying that many syll...

Chalk another one up for being able to give those "It's GNU/Linux, not Linux" twits the finger....

[ssokolow]

To be honest, if my GeForce GTX750 (specifically bought as a three-monitor-capable pre-signed-firmware card) died tomorrow, I'd consider buying nVidia...

[ssokolow]

In other words, it's apt search, not apt-cache search. (apt-cache search takes maybe 3 seconds in those conditions with a cold cache and is instantaneous...

[ssokolow]

Ahh. Makes sense....

[ssokolow]

My point is that, from what I've seen, Windows applications are much less likely to invoke subprocesses to access functionality than POSIX ones are....

FINDSTR is a CLI tool, not a function.</pedant>

(That's probably part of the reason it was OK to leave it as a stub for so long.)...

[ssokolow]

I still think it should blame the compositor and not your system.

[ssokolow]

I actually was aware of OBS from the people who use it as an alternative to PPAs, however, I wasn't aware of the site in general.

That said,...

[ssokolow]

Plus, it's important to remember that Wine enhancements tend to be prioritized by how much demand there is for them. It makes sense that people wouldn't...

[ssokolow]

Sorry. I have expectations for package management that I have yet to see an RPM-based distro meet.

(Expectation #1: It should be easy to...
