Why do you assume the West? China often expands to other Asian countries. Or pretend to. E.g. after tariffs are applied to China you’ll often see a huge increase in intra Asia trade. Followed by different Asian countries heavily increasing their exports. Usually by hiding the true origin (tariffs are applied to the origin, not some transhipment place).

A lot of that research isn’t done by these companies. Further, their marketing budget is often huge, the research budget is often lower than that.

So instead of accepting that the driver should be GPL and part of the kernel, you turn things around and pretend the development of the kernel is the way that it is because of a conspiracy against Nvidia?

The bit regarding Wayland doesn’t make sense, no idea what you’re getting at. Though maybe you don’t follow Linux developments?

I highly recommend list-inhibitors. Not sure if this is the one I mean, the command line seems to match to the one I use: https://pypi.org/project/list-session-inhibitors/

This command gives a way nicer output.

For me Firefox often prevents the system from going to idle. If some page has a video it often seems to inhibit going to idle. Firefox strangely does that even if the video is paused.

For me and Firefox I’m often intend to do something about it. And then I don’t for various reasons 😂

Then implement polkit perhaps? https://polkit.pages.freedesktop.org/polkit/polkit-apps.html

Basically the root using bit is handled via polkit. Three unprivileged bit calls the privileged bit via polkit.

That’s what a bot would say! /s

Google: Norway EVs.

Why would they need to turn anything off? That’s not how they expand capacity in the Netherlands. Why would it be needed?

Ah, the magical technological advancement that is only possible with hydrogen. While ignoring the advancements with EVs.

At the moment, hydrogen production is too costly, energy wise.

EVs are already way more efficient. You’re repeating things that have been discussed ages ago as something new.

An appimage should run where, normally you’d put that in your home directory. The immutable bit is outside of your homedir.

If you’re THE leading DE project at least try to accommodate those DE’s that depend on your code or meet with them to inform them well in advance and discuss the best options for those DE’s.

It’s always easy to say that other people should do more work to benefit others. Libawaita isn’t anything new. It was announced loads of times.

In other words, work together for the good of all users

That the current status isn’t what you want isn’t the same as not working together. Further, there’s usually a limited amount of time and attention.

Within Linux there’s loads and loads of opinions. Loads of different desktop environments. That complexity cost development time. Time that isn’t infinite. Again, it seems to easy to direct how others should spend their time and/or to argue that they aren’t doing enough for your liking.

“Fake News!” /s

I don’t really know how to do that

• Install rust
• Create a directory somewhere
• Change to that directory
• Run: cargo init
• Open a text editor and do stuff in there
• Save the file(s)
• Run cargo build
• Run the executable

Hope it helps!

• Background I was using got removed, got a better one anyway

I had that happen a few times. This time I downloaded those backgrounds again (from gnome-backgrounds repository). Still, it’s pretty annoying to have this happen.

I upgraded just before the beta. Discovered a mutter crash, reported it, it was fixed in a day or so.

Everything just feels slow, clunky and some basic things are quite complecated to archive

It’s been that way for much longer than a few years unfortunately. I don’t understand how people can tolerate it. Some projects switched to it because it seemed more beginner friendly than IRC, but to me it’s not focussed on making things easy.

Never heard about this. They’re website is awesome, they have a extensive list of changes they made. Don’t agree with removing SELinux though. It stops enough security issues and it doesn’t seem good to have such a change while likely (didn’t check) rely on Fedora for package updates.

Kind of wonder how old certain changes are, e.g. Fedora did change the vm.max_map_count.

Edit: forgot to say that I do like it. I like opinionated software/projects even if I might not use it myself.

Those hacked together system-specific bash scripts were shit.

With a different feature set per script as well. The systemd service files have often been pushed upstream.

Pretty sure people liking those scripts never really tried dealing with them across distributions. Though this just rehashes things that were said when distributions decided if to switch to systemd. Still the same strange claim that those scripts are somehow easier. It wasn’t, it is also way easier to package a systemd file from upstream than to maintain that stuff within a distribution.

I wonder if this is still true, now that he no longer works for RedHat, but Microsoft.

Why wouldn’t Fedora do that? Decisions are decided by multiple people, they are not forced through or just decided unilaterally by one person.

Enough people in Fedora try to improve the low level stuff. I’m looking forward to that homedir systemd stuff. Don’t care about this sudo alternative.

Systemd isn’t just an init system. It is a project with low level building blocks for a distribution. Most of the complaints are that it isn’t just an init system, while it’s not meant to be just an init system.

until you are only left with managing the differences between DEs

Maybe they’ll add a DE as well?

Just kidding!
