I don't think people really understand how important it is that the voting members on wayland-protocols are sane, and can be reasoned with, you do not understand how close we are right now to something like a Wayland fork being legitimately discussed in the near future
There is some wild shit going on on the XDG-toplevel-icon protocol discussion, I don't know how this is going to play out but I expect this too be an important discussion in the Wayland history books for how governance is handled going forward https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/269
@BrodieOnLinux everytime i see this protocol MR link i start laughing like an insane person, its funniest discussion ever. How are these people unable to see "oh icons, for different windows by same app and in general, good we need this basic feature (even if it exists with .desktop files)" and have to spend time arguing like kids is still funny at this point this protocol is a meme face of wayland.
Universal Blue (Bazzite or Bluefin) would be great, and there's VanillaOS and blendOS of the big three easy-to-use immutable OS.
Then there's also NixOS - should be fine even if you break it so long as you didn't remove prev generation and your config file backups before you properly test new generation.
I personally find normal distro to be both boring and fragile now that I make my own Bazzite and Aurora (Bluefin-KDE) images.
@BrodieOnLinux I am interested in seeing this and trying it out. I can say that I am not a fan of the desktop being made smaller. For some people, myself included that may make it a little bit harder to work out exactly where things are or to put them. especially on smaller screens. It's not a big issue. I have been called toxic and a hater for saying exactly what I just said. If that's so fine. I'm not either of those things. I'm not saying it is bad or that it shouldn't be the way it is.
@roo79 That's absolutely true, on a 13 inch display it may be an issue, I feel like that can be resolved with a new settings interface that works for the new layout rather than just gluing on the old one
I know a lot of devs don't like it when it's used against them but my favorite feature we see in tools like Github and Gitlab is the ability to attach emoji like thumbs up, thumbs down, etc to a post, it gives you a good quick indication of who everybody is sick of dealing with
A lot of people say "all software is open source if you know assembly" this is obviously a joke but lets over analyze it
It is explicitly not Open Source (as in licensed in such a way) as the developers have not assigned it such a license, however if you stretch the definition of "source" to mean any code that runs the application rather than the actual source form of the code you could argue that all code by definition is source available.
After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support for Windows 10. Your PC will still work, but we recommend moving to Windows 11.
YouTube actually added a good feature for once, you can now set 3 thumbnails for a video and it will automatically A/B test them for you, you could already do this manually but this massively stream lines the process.
