Simple question: Do you daily drive #Wayland or #Xorg? Let me know what desktop in the replies. #Linux #OpenSource

Whenever I see comments like this about #Wayland I always have to ask, who do you think would be developing this new protocol? Every single #Linux graphics developers agrees that Wayland is where we're going, the problem is nobody agrees on how it should look

Why are Windows users so stupid, why do I get people in my comments telling me how great Windows 7 still is in 2023. There is literally no rational argument to be running Windows 7, feel free to make one, but hot take, I will never encourage people to run an EOL operating system

Who should be software packaging is a tough problem, I can see the value in #linux distros pushing for better changes downstream, encouraging upstream to change (double click in #KDE) but then I see cases like KeepassXC where the Debian package is now by default broken, actively damaging the reputation of upstream but then I remember #XZ where upstream was left unchecked and hid bad code in plain sight and I go back around in a circle.

If on a major update your desktop (GNOME, Plasma, Cinnamon, i3, etc) opened a popup asking you to donate, it only appeared once and if you don't ever want to see it there was an option to fully disable it, would you be opposed to this? #Linux #OpenSource #FOSS

I'm calling out every Linux dev that uses i386 to mean i386, up to i686, stop it. Nobody besides Linux devs does this, its a stupid name for the group. Just call it x86 like everyone else

🤓 Um Aktualy, x86 also include 16 bit CPUs
No one cares they haven't existed since the 80s

Maybe I should have posted this earlier but I'll be talking to Jeremy Soller of System76 shortly, let me know if you have anything pressing you'd like to ask a PopOS maintainer

Thorium is only not a dead project but there's some hilarious shit going on in the repo, hidden around the browser, and a bunch of his other projects is a bunch of furry and some hentai, enjoy your furry porn if you to want but why is it in a web browser https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/issues/463

For context see the links in the comments on this thread https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/issues/468

The craziest thing to me about the new Steam Deck OLED is Valve made the device better with a bigger battery, bigger storage, new OLED HDR screen, bigger screen, higher refresh rate and didn't keep the price the same, they actually lowered it.

It's always fun to check in on the Lunduke blog to see what he feels is super important today, this time it's ignoring the actual qualifications of the new GNOME Foundation executive director and focusing on her hobby https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4740497/gnome-foundation-hires-professional-shaman-as-new-executive-director

Here's why #GNOME absolutely should drop Xorg support, GNOME is the default #Linux desktop for #Ubuntu, #RHEL, and these are very popular distros for business use, this is the kick in the balls #NVIDIA needs to fix the drivers, business partners won't take NVIDIA's shit for long.

The #Linux world is massive and I'm by no means the only content creator, so let me know who some of your favourites are, big or small, or maybe even not on the platform anymore

Guys I'm famous now, Techrights wrote a blog post about me, does this mean I can get a Wikipedia page now https://techrights.org/n/2023/12/19/Brodie_Robertson_is_Wrong_Because_Flatpaks_Snaps_Do_In_Fact_Pro.shtml

Give me your most controversial Linux takes that nobody wants to admit are actually true.

I'll start, Photoshop isn't actually a big deal for most people and it being missing is easier to complain about than fixing the real issues on the #Linux desktop

I implore any of the #Fedora #Linux contributors out there that might see this, please do not back the new telemetry proposal. I know telemetry can be incredibly valuable for improving the product offered by Fedora and I'm sure some great improvements can be made with it but I see this as your Amazon Lens moment.

If #FedoraLinux goes ahead with this it doesn't matter that the user can opt-out, it doesn't matter that the data is generic, it doesn't matter that it's anonymized, for now until the end of time Fedora will be called a spyware distro. You will hurt community trust in the project far more than anything you will gain from improving the software and I really don't want to see that happen.

I'm curious how many of you actually use a screensaver (not a lock screen) on #Linux, the screensaver fans are very loud about them but surely there isn't that many of them #Wayland #Xorg #Opensource

Xorg is a ticking time bomb, once Red Hat decides to stop maintaining it some of you people better step up to maintain it yourselves or you'll be in for a rough ride.
