Have you heard about that wild thing you can do called “communication”

Ooo damn that sounds exactly what I’d like to try.
On the other hand I feel like I’m too old for this shit. My system works fine, I understand everything, and things rarely break and never in an unrecoverable way.
Don’t think I haven’t tried that.
I also tried the debug menu, xkill
using the window ID, … it’s immortal.
Tbf, thanks to X11 Linux isn’t safe from stuff like that.
When I use my VR glasses, Steam sometimes creates an uncloseable X window that isn’t attached to any process. I don’t think even killing XWayland gets rid of it.
It’s been great almost since I started using it.
I started using it exactly when 4.0 came out, because that’s when I started using Linux and I thought learning 3 didn’t make sense. But 4 only got stable around 4.4 I think. The problem was that 4.0 wasn’t intended to be for end users yet, but distributions didn’t realize that and packaged it right away.
KDE didn’t repeat that mistake. 5.0 was almost completely smooth sailing (some applications took a long time to port and looked ugly, that’s it), and 6.0 was completely seamless.
If I had to guess, probably variable refresh rate
Yeah and they actually added some usability in the form of that utility helping you debug what you’re doing. Pretty nice!
It was poignant, and you reacted to it like a sore loser, so yes, it was objectively clever
I haven’t found anything better than Whiskey. It reminds me of the finnicky Wine days before Proton, but so far the problems I encountered are purely cosmetic. Granted, I only tried pixely indie stuff.
I don’t, my personal machine runs Linux
It works OK. Steam itself is super sluggish under it.
Native Steam + Proton is just better.
Hey, nobody disputes that.
Doesn’t mean macOS has a comparable portfolio of games it runs. Proton just works better than crossover or Whiskey or whatever.
Huh, I found it to be so much easier to set up than nginx that I wrote the devs a little thank you message
That’s just completely wrong. Just try e.g. replacing the journald backend with the old text based syslog, and not only will you discover that is possible (which directly contradicts what you just said), it’s also easy!
The only thing I liked was arch’s pretty boot sequence … which I stared at for a while because SysV init was so slow.
systemd, not SystemD, or system d.
But yeah, wonderful talk!
Because they just have their own brain chemistry as the basis of it whereas the above comment clearly states:
Rust has proven empirically that the tradeoff between performance and safety doesn’t need to exist.
Which is truth. And it’s much easier to base a coherent argument on truth rather than vibes.
Yeah, would work better if there was one stranger in the middle
