Currently most cooperate linux companies are not in the business of selling linux desktop itself. Rather its linux for servers, administration, embedded things (like cars), and other enterprisey stuff. So at least at the moment they are not looking to profit of linux desktop users directly which has saved us from enshittiffication attempts.

But even if they in the future attempt to do something fishy, that most users dont agree with, I think by the virtue of how stuff works on linux it will be very easy for people to move to something else or a fork, and still get 95-99% of the same experience. This in turn will force companies to think twice before doing something like this.

A good example here is canonical/Ubuntu who has made questionable decisions in the past and each time they had to take it back. Even now, Snap due to its use of a centralized store is almost universally shunned by the linux community and is only supported maintained by canonical. While Flatpak is supported by the wider linux community with people from different projects contributing to it (though I sometimes worry about everyone centralizing on Flathub to the point where they are actively discourage other projects from launching/maintaining their own stores/repos).

This is why we need to build and champion tech that is resistant to control and enshittiffication. Then we dont have to worry too much about who is developing it.

It would be really awesome if they gave up AOSP governance to a foundation under the linux foundation but I doubt they would. They recently made Android development completely private.

are you using any sddm themes? splash screens?

Also check/share the logs (you can use ksystemlogs or gnome logs if you prefer guis).

Impressive work, thanks!

Are there plans to apply for it again? Gnome got a lot of mileage from it, would be really nice if they applied again.

And what happened to Sonny Piers? Did more info come out about why he got suddenly expelled from the foundation? It looked like he was doing a really good job with STF and I haven't heard anything bad about him all this time.

KWin has gained support for the initial version of the Wayland session restore protocol

I found it interesting that they were merging support for a not-yet-merged protocol so I looked it up.

It seems the plan is to use the new experimental protocol thing that was introduced a while back:

I wonder whats the catch. I have a hard time accepting some company would provide such a service for free no limits (unless its a non-profit run through donations or similar).

which gen is your igpu? Older intel igpus need libva-intel-driver pkg installed (on Arch, not sure whats the Fedora equivalent) and the env variable LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME set to i965.

Nutomic:

This is implemented in the main branch now. If you want to develop a plugin for Lemmy, have a look at the RFC and the examples. If you have questions about plugin development, feel free to post in the Matrix dev chat, [email protected] or open an issue.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3562#issuecomment-2760779122

Examples in multiple languages: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-plugins#lemmy-plugins (only a few examples currently, more languages are possible including Python)

Anyone planning to start working on a plugin?

 

has anyone tried it on wayland? are there any other screensavers for wayland? AFAIK this is the only screensaver that works on wayland.

v2.8, v2.9, v2.10 were all released recently after a few months hiatus (v2.7 was in Oct).

Most of the changes were bug fixes but v2.8 had new features too:

  • New visibility mode: Intelligent Auto Hide (aka Intellihide / Dodge Windows): in this mode, the dock only hides itself when there's a window covering it or there's a maximized window.
  • Supports LXQt (KWin) on Wayland: including special menu entries (e.g. Log Out), specific default launchers, setting wallpapers and separate config.
  • Task icon: Allow cycling backwards through window applications with CTRL: so left-clicking cycles forwards and CTRL + left-clicking cycles backwards.

Crystal Dock is a cool dock (desktop panel) for Linux desktop, with the focus on attractive user interface, being simple and easy to customize, and cross-desktop support.

The current version (version 2) supports KDE Plasma 6 and LXQt (KWin) on Wayland. Other desktop environments will be considered when they run on Wayland and provide sufficient APIs. The previous version (version 1) supports KDE Plasma 5, GNOME, LXQt, Cinnamon and MATE on X11.

I would like to backup some KDE settings but don't really know which files to copy from .config

Searching for their names in github.com/KDE has given me some idea about their purposes but I couldn't find any comments or documentation there either.

For context Autin (Github) is a shell history replacement that apparently provides a lot of extra functionality.

Has anyone used it? Im thinking of switching to it but Im worried about its impact on performance and if its worth it.
