No, you didn’t. Not for Ubuntu at least. And even if you did why would you want to stop the development of new and possibly better ones?

But this is just anti-ai puritanism. Just screw people for whom this could be useful because “ai”.

People with disabilities don’t deserve accessibility?

AI can answer many of their questions, but AI can’t help them with the questions they don’t know to ask.

This is a very important thing to understand and one that is difficult to explain to non-technical folks who have a new “super power” where they can magic-up programs (and why hosting their vibe-coded monstrosity on our servers and network may be a bad idea).

This is why when we say “AI is a tool” we need to be careful to add that it’s more like “heavy machinery” than a “screwdriver.” You need to be checked out on it and understand what it will be doing for you and how to work with it. It’s not a tool everyone is readily equipped to work with.

What are you calling “the linux community”?

Linux is the primary OS supported on all of the major cloud platforms and has effectively replaced nearly all commercial Unix systems in new deployments.

We’re well past “small”.

I downvoted not because of any AI concern but because it’s clearly a crappy personal project. Nobody should use this.

Fine, pivot to complaining about the pace of development instead.

My dude that was my point - you misunderstood it for complaining about the one exact example I gave. An example you seem to think is just unsolvable by the Wayland team despite having been addressed by “everyone else”. That example isn’t even so important. It’s a minor but expected feature that seemingly breaks the brilliant architecture of Wayland.

I’m sure everyone who has been successfully using Wayland for years is going to see your vague hints of what’s wrong with it and the Wayland devs will go back to working on X.

Well - I can’t. Pop_OS KDE doesn’t work on Nvidia in Wayland mode. Because nobody though to involve Nvidia in the discussions and just assumed they would change everything for 0.01% of their users. Well done Wayland team. 🤷

You either make global window position the sole responsibility of the compositor or you expose control to applications and get an unmanageable mess, which you can’t fix.

rofl

That’s hilariously stupid. Like every window management system other than Wayland is just an unmanageable mess because they allow this?

Do you have an issue that actually requires this or do you just have an issue with how a certain compositor handles window placement?

You’re arguing a particular problem and solutions to it rather than acknowledging the category of problem and the greater issue it shows. That it’s taken 20 years for the team to maybe kinda consider implementing basic functionality that is provided by every windowing system not named Wayland is f’ing ridiculous. And it’s not the only feature that has taken ages without being addressed. It’s a project team problem. Their ivory tower design didn’t address the real world usage and they lack the flexibility to deviate from their design.

You mean the way X handled window positioning

I mean the way literally every other display handles it other than Wayland which “knows better than I do” apparently. “You don’t want that - I know you don’t” is so pandering.

Windows allows it. MacOS allows it. Wayland is pure and perfect.

if you can’t actually name anything then I’ll just assume you’re being contrarian.

I did - in my very first post. I won’t repeat it here because I don’t care. There are lots. But hey - you got your individual monitor scaling so… I guess fuck everything else yeah?

Maybe I misunderstood - The “NixOS (bare metal)” seemed to imply to me that the containers were not bare-metal by omission. If not then my complaint is retracted.

I’ll die on this hill.

Containers run on “bare metal” in the same way that other processes on your system run.

All in all the hate towards wayland just does more harm than good and people limited on complaining and hating maybe should consider ways of actually improving it.

This is bullshit. I have no duty to be loyal to any project. Wayland in particular has been so mismanaged it’s still fighting for dominance after decades and still can’t reproduce the functionality we had in the '90s. All that effort could have been put into refactoring and updating X11 instead.

Wayland because it works for a majority (but not all) and still doesn’t have some basic functionality despite having been in development for near 20 years (eg custom window placement).

It may eventually be good, but it is taking a goddamn lifetime to do it. Completely mismanaged imo.

I’m not terribly picky, mostly just want to distinguish 0 from O and l from 1.

I rather like JetBrains mono though.
