boredsquirrel OP ,

Damn, thanks for the info.

Definetly not wanting to land on a spam list...

So I will test the mails with burner accounts? Which would be a bit sus, but I could just write "DO YOU WANT TO STRENGTHEN YOUR ERECTION" and that would end in spam anyways

boredsquirrel OP ,

Very smart. Learned something.

Many many company mains are standard, which is interesting as they will get tons of spam.

But makes sense that this is not a good way, that the tools for scanning for available addresses are blocked and that there are even honeypots.

boredsquirrel ,

Crazy, how our "free world" is centralized

boredsquirrel OP ,
  1. I want an automated Window manager that is light. KWin rules dont work that well for me, as I get tons of dialog windows in fullscreen.
  2. More lightweight. Plasma is a dependency mess, I opened a Goal to make this less bad, and I am experimenting with a minimal, Qt6 and Wayland only install
boredsquirrel OP ,

What does this mean? You do a manual action once and it always uses that position?

boredsquirrel OP ,

you could keep an eye out for LXQt.

I did. Looked at the desktop and it looks horrendous. pcmanfm-qt is the only usable app (and I find it second best filemanager after dolphin).

Their packages are supposedly very outdated on Fedora, which I didnt verify. And using Ubuntu base is a nogo for irrational reasons.

On Fedora they still rely on tons of Qt5 just like Plasma, which I find unacceptable.

Also I never used a Desktop where compositor settings are simply unsupported. It may run, but you still need config files, and I wonder why use settings then.

I really dont need so switch, KDE is awesome. It is not a pain anymore since plasma 6, Fedora Kinoite is very well maintained, Flatpaks work well, it has the best app support of all, legacy support, theming, cursors.

Its literally just for the curiosity.

I have a spare SSD where I try COSMIC too. Its tiling is usable thanks to some random dude that joined Fedora and created a SIG 2 months or so after that and now packages all the apps (He added drag to tile support). Thanks btw.

But it looks pretty ugly, it mimics the useless GNOME top bar, the app menu is kinda bad, so you would need to write at least 2 applets and replace the preinstalled ones.

Not a dealbreaker, and it works really good.

boredsquirrel OP ,

Thats some serious shit!

boredsquirrel ,

And now Jeff Bezos money please

boredsquirrel ,

This is so cool! I wanted to do something similar with stone and metal, but resin and wood sounds like a way more realistic goal XD

boredsquirrel OP ,

You mean individualist disrespecting any standards, Xorg, Xorg, Xorg, Xorg, Xorg and a half-baked Wayland compositor?

boredsquirrel OP , (edited )

Fedora Kinoite beta/nightly too. Based on current Fedora with coming KDE Plasma. Works pretty well.

rpm-ostree rebase --reboot ostree-unverified-registry:quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/kinoite-beta

I think that was the command. Confused a bit, even though I use it so I can check the remote name in a few days.

boredsquirrel OP ,

No. GNOME is an alternative. The rest is all based on the old, broken monolith XOrg. They are working on Wayland support, and in 1-2 years they may be real alternatives.

boredsquirrel OP ,

Regarding all the missing protocols, I am sure GNOME and KDE have more of them as they are all really new

boredsquirrel OP ,

Yes, I formerly used that. But as it is unusable, I left it out

boredsquirrel OP ,

Same

boredsquirrel OP ,

I dont think the text input is in the kernel?

boredsquirrel OP ,

Hahaha thats absurd

boredsquirrel OP ,

No idea I avoid those like hell, the press is too slow and it is always changing.

Really, the inventors of "intelligent context menus" can go to hell

boredsquirrel OP ,

What? Screenshot or I dont believe you

boredsquirrel OP ,

Wow. Dude.

Wow.

Now look at the post and see that I literally added that keyboard, plus any random keyboard people mentioned in comments.

boredsquirrel OP ,

Its keys are too small and not configurable, basically that.

boredsquirrel ,

This is about COSMIC Epoch, not their current GNOME.

GNOME or KDE ar far more advanced, while COSMIC Epoch may be cool and clean at the core, it still has like 5 years or more to be equal

boredsquirrel ,

This.

Their core design is awesome, but they are basically rebuilding a strange modified GNOME from the ground up in pure Rust.

Some GNOME components are reused, like gvfs, but the compositor and more are all self written.

It may have no touch support at all.

Try KDE Plasma, it is really awesome.

boredsquirrel ,

Yes I assume the same. We just need a lot of people willing to use Rust.

GTK and QML are way way easier I think.

The headline changes in MATE Desktop 1.28 are:

  • Atril now uses libarchive for handling comics, supports webkitgtk 4.2.1, and has documented its EPUB support. Deprecated methods have been replaced with modern counterparts to improve performance and stability.
  • Caja can now manage desktop icons, render backgrounds, and change backgrounds in Wayland sessions. These improvements enhance the user experience and bring greater functionality to Wayland users.
  • Engrampa has introduced support for the Meson build system, switched to using unar for CPIO archives, and now supports unrar-free. These updates improve compatibility and performance.
  • The Eye of MATE image viewer now supports the Meson build system and includes fixes for several build warnings, contributing to a more stable and efficient application.
  • The window manager Marco has added a new setting to raise windows on the alt+tab popup and replaced various deprecated methods to ensure better performance and user experience.
  • Many panel applets now support Wayland, with improvements for in-process building and specific applet functionality under Wayland. Memory leaks have been fixed, and accessibility improvements have been made.
  • The control center now works in both Wayland and X11 sessions, supports the Meson build system, and includes several UI and memory leak fixes.
  • Pluma has a new Quickhighlight Plugin in the pluma-plugins package.
  • MATE Terminal now has Meson build system support. Copying a file from Caja into the terminal now works as expected (it inserts the file path). Additional enhancements include support for OSC 8 hyperlinks and improvements to tab management.
  • Translations are updated. Thank you to our team of translators!

mate-wayland-session

  • An experimental Wayland session for MATE using Wayfire. First release version.

Well why not use a gmail so they dont get a personal mail account or something

Matthew 21:12-13 (NIV):

12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

boredsquirrel ,

Rule 1: dont fall for the fetishisation of the consumer world

boredsquirrel ,

I experience the exact same thing.

The key is that you need to allow processes in your oom killer. There are different implementations like oomd or earlyoom.

Oomd freezes and doesnt kill, and I suppose distros do a bad job at allowlisting the desktop etc in there.

boredsquirrel ,

So the better approach would be to spawn all desktop and base GUI things with nice -18 or something?

boredsquirrel ,

Yes, this is a bad solution. No program should have that privilege, it needs to be an allowlist and not a blocklist.

boredsquirrel ,

Thanks, yes this can have 2 causes and both need to be fixed.

boredsquirrel ,

Could you elaborate?

boredsquirrel ,

Ok, nice. Do you know what other undefined processes are spawned with?

boredsquirrel ,

Damn... thanks thats complicated
