Wayland works fine, the kde's implementation of wayland is just not mature yet which is to be expected given how recently they decided to hop on the bandwagon

If your code isn't up to par, or your feature isn't relevant enough and doesn't fit "the vision", it's correct to deny it. On top of diluting the project contributed code add a maintainership cost that the random contributor will probably not be footing.

Accept everything in your cake and tomorrow it'll be an inedible mess that nobody wants. It's ok for software to be aimed at different people.

Familiarity breeds contempt, give it some time and I'm sure cosmic will have its share of haters too. There's hundreds of gnome devs, and all you're seeing are clickbait blogposts like these made to stir up the pot. Go check out the discussions on discourse, matrix, or even gitlab to see what they're actually like.

Google has a swath of PR people, devs are always going to be less socially inclined. Devs at google aren't the ones making the decisions. But yeah gnome does throw its weight around, both for good and bad.

You can check this post post about why gnome has done away with appindicators. Basically everyone has their own and it's a mess, they're very much not bringing them back, appindicators are being replaced altogether by the notification system.

You've missed the part where they have no intention of replacing it. It's bloat. And I agree with them.

Where relevant they've added stuff as a core part of the panel, like recently an indicator for VPN connections. If you want to use an application you can alt-tab to it, like we've done for decades. Everything else is relegated to media controls and notifications. Appindicators are legacy at this point, and they systematically get cut from modern designs like mobiles.

Notifications, you can have the app fire a notification when it's synced or disconnects for example. Gnome is working on better notifications right now. Tablets, chromebooks, cell phones... have been doing fine without appindicators; people just have a hard time changing their habits.

Notifications are more effective at displaying a change of status than a tiny icon turning red.
What's important to someone is gonna vary on a case by case basis, sometimes getting an email is an urgent notification, you can easily turn off the ones you don't care for or go into DND mode.

Gaming on linux is a decades old ongoing effort, there's plenty of praise to go around, vulkan and winehq, dxvk...

C'est le cercle vicieux où la télé vire de plus en plus facho pour jouer pour son audience qui du coup s’extrémise aussi, et contrairement aux autres médias y'a plus de nouveau sang pour équilibrer. La télé c'est surtout les boomers qui la regarde maintenant.

Gnome's ui is a couple of extensions away from being windows-like. You don't need to subscribe to the full gnome experience™ to use gnome.

Botnets work as background malware, most people never realize they're infected, as opposed to in your face malware like ransomware.
Backups are only relevant for malware if you can pinpoint when the malware was installed and the backups aren't compromised.

Winetricks has a setting to toggle virtual desktop if you want; however virtual desktop is barely maintained so you probably should switch to gamescope .

For the iso variant:
localectl --no-convert set-keymap mod-dh-iso-us
localectl set-x11-keymap us 105 colemak_dh_iso
For the ansi variant, switch to 104 and edit iso to ansi

Probably duckduckgo, it was a while back.

Oh and fyi you'll probably need the second command too if you ever use x11, iirc set-keymap doesn't convert properly so you need to set it manually
localectl set-x11-keymap us 104 colemak_dh

Yeah i don't think i had an article, just some redhat documentation and the regular localectl help page, and a couple of hours.

You don't implement systems like these in a few days, it's probably been in the works for months.

imecth ,
imecth avatar

The system seems already implemented, even if not yet deployed. Anyhow you're giving last epoch way too much credit here, deterministic crafting is nothing new.

If only it could stick to its release dates too.

PoE2 has been postponed for 5 years. It's the classic example of feature creep.
Will it be amazing when it comes out? Maybe.
You know what would have been amazing, having all those new animations and models for the past 5 years. It could have been an iterative work, nobody asked them to do it all in one go.

This was 4.5 years ago, before the scope creep. The expected turnaround was less than 1 year.
The project is more than 5 years in the works, and will probably reach 6-7 years before it's done.

GGG has left poe to rot for the past 5 years while they've been creating a game for a new audience and misleading their current players in their intentions. They certainly won't be commended by me.

Plenty of old live service games see active development like world of warcraft. I'll remind you that you don't know me, so please keep your projections to yourself if you want to keep arguing.

It's a good change for sure, but the cynic in me can't help but think they're doing this solely because they believe it'll make them more money this way.

I don't see the correlation between those and making new heroes free. Maybe as a way to douse the community flames.
I think it's simply because people want to play the new content. While some cave and buy the battlepass, it doesn't offset the losses of the grind and paywall that stops people from coming back and investing to begin with.

Obviously they made the announcement at an opportune moment, but blizz wouldn't be making this change if it didn't coincide with their bottom line.

Planning on moving over from Windows 10 to Linux for my Personal Work Station. Can't decide which OS I should switch to.

Windows has been a thorn in my side for years. But ever since I started moved to Linux on my Laptop and swapping my professional software to a cross platform alternative, I've been dreaming on removing it from my SSD....

Between the snaps crisis and the ads in the terminal ubuntu seems to be doing its best to scare off regular users.

There's basically only 2 reasons to go for nvidia, rtx and cuda, figure out if you care enough about it to get an nvidia gpu.
As for postponing shit, just get it over with, there'll never be a perfect moment to buy your gpu.

You can disable the screensaver and auto-suspend just fine in the settings, caffeine lets you toggle it from the panel, I'd hardly call that a must have, if anything it'd annoy most users who prefer a clean panel.

I prefer the gnome approach of having a functioning basic DE where you can optionally install extensions that you want.

The reason it was cut is more about the drag action, dragging to panel maximizes and grabbing it will automatically restore it down. It's basically combined with the move window action.

The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.

I am from india. These numbers are inflated due to our population and government and health sector office pc using linux (ubuntu). These office pcs just require a chrome browser and all the work is done on the browser Nobody here cares what os they use in their office pc. I don't see anyone here switching to linux on their...

We could mirror your post for windows though, their only interaction with the OS is launching the browser. The vast majority of people running windows only use their pc to run the browser and the office suite, and they use windows because it's what came pre-installed.

I understand your point that india doesn't particularly care for linux, but by that same logic the world doesn't particularly care for windows either.

Diablo 4 got 40% off within a few months
I find AAA games are increasingly starting with a high price point to capitalize on the hype and advertising campaign, and once that peters out they quickly reduce the price.

imecth ,

Gotta distinguish popularity from ratings.
Diablo 4 is maybe a mediocre game, but it sold truckloads.

As a fix, you can run the game through gamescope which should sandbox the game.
