This is a thread about slow uptake by programs of Wayland.

X works for me.

What is there to explain?

Please explain.

you think the distros have to implement their own version of Wayland?

Nope. They do have to test their own shit.

Why make a change when one can just not?

But why would the distros do that? It takes effort and has real costs for them.

There are programs made by therapists that are built to be help.

Top 6 hours, then New, then top 12 hours.

It is not enough to make a better product.

It is not enough to create all tooling and libraries to seamlessly migrate to the new product, but it helps.

There also needs to be a great big positive reason to make the change. Paying developers, huge user base, the only hardware support, great visuals, etc.

Until I cannot run software on X11, I won’t switch over knowingly.

Fuck suicide for financial reasons.

You raise a great point.

To the Owning Class, those working for money are nothing and replaceable. Rise up with the poor.

Effort makes a huge difference. People that put in zero effort are obvious and smell.

Not ugly at all.

After 35 is the first wave of divorces?

Thank you for pulling the image out.

This talk surprised me at the time. I was starting the eye opening experience of design hardware. Linux more orchestrates the hardware than controlling it.

To avoid convo in multiple places, it is in reply to message you replied to.

RISC-V is better for Linux due to driver support. Vendors making hardware are more likely to use RISK-V for their controllers due to the costs. Modern computers are putting more functions under control of kernels that run on proprietary compute. (There exists a chart showing how little the Linux kernel directly controls.) As more of those devices run RISC-V, they will become more discoverable.
Also, those that can design or program tge devices will have more transferrable skills. Leading to the best designs spreading, and all designs improving.

Places in a computer with compute (non-exhaustive, not all candidates for RISC-V):
BMC
Soundcard (or subsystem on mainboard)
Video card (GPU and the controller for the GPU)
Storage drives
Networking
Drive interface controlling card
Mainboard (not BMC)
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor
UPS
Printer

Will it be perfect? Nope.
A lot of the vendors will lock things up as well.

Barter. Learn a tradable skill. Build a group of friends.

But also save money.

But how do they sync? Personnel files and communicators works for starfleet, but not civilians.

(Some civilians have replicator access, though clearly not all.)
