wtf is up with Flathub calling X11 "legacy windowing system" and marking apps with X11 support as "unsafe".

I know GNOME likes role-playing as the sole owners of the Linux ecosystem, but it's not a good look to push their opinions on an otherwise neutral marketplace.

i love animated window transitions! when my computer is under load, switching windows causes a shutter-roll top to bottom that takes about 0.25-0.5s .. when tearfree lands in modesetting it'll ruin my fun

There are a few things you'll need to clean up the mess of " #windows". Somehow,
@arstechnica missed to mention #GNU #Linux #Kernal, @kde or @gnome #GUI, and things like #X11.

They are all available in #OS #distros like: @archlinux, @debian, @fedora @garuda, @linuxmint, @ubuntu
...and many more.

Wayland: The Modern Display Server Protocol for UNIX-like Systems

Wayland represents a significant evolution in the way graphical systems are built for UNIX-like operating systems. It was conceived as a response to the longstanding complexity of the X Window System, aiming to create a simpler, more efficient, and secure mechanism for managing display output and user input.

Se me ocurrió mirar pero sin entrar en ningún debate ni pleitos se me hizo la idea clara que quien se mueve en #Plasma de KDE lo mejor es seguir #X11 pues #Wayland sigue en múltiples correcciones todavía.

Раз нейронки всё больше входят в нашу жизнь, то полезно запускать на десктопе с нормальной видеокартой. А доступ получать к нему уже ото всюду — с планшета или телефона. Находясь дома или за его пределами.

Не обязательно remote desktop использовать в классическом плане: X2Go, VNC, RDP, возможно подойдёт и сценарий с Remote Apps (недавно появившийся в мире Window-систем, но давным-давно существующий в Unix-мире).

Надо будет поглядеть, как #Wayland умеет в проброску GUI-приложений, когда софтина выполняется на десктопе, но все окна и контролы отрисовываются на планшете. Есть у кого опыт возни такой?

Раньше это делалось через #X11 средствами #Xorg и запуском софтины по #ssh — через обратный проброс tcp-порта — с десктопа до планшета, на котором должен быть запущен X-сервер (тот же #Xorg).

Например, охота иногда поиграть с нейронкой в какую-нибудь интеллектуальную игру или использовать её как систему поддержки принятия решений. Не открывать же удалённый рабочий стол ради этого? Достаточно запустить одно приложение, с одним каким-то окном.

@fosserytech instead of yelling at @GTK, yell at @compositor and the #devs of said tools to do proper #ScreenGrabbing / #ScreenRecording & #ScreenSharing over @pipewire, cuz @XOrgFoundation / #X11 has been #EoL'd for quite some time!

With #X11 being deprecated in latest #GTK, what's the direction for #OpenBSD? Does it look like we are moving to #Wayland as well?

Experimented yesterday with Fedora’s KDE spin… I was shocked by the level of accessibility, although it wasn’t perfect. My primary issues with it were that I had to use a lot of Orca’s navigation commands to read panels in the systems settings app, and I had major issues with Konsole, the default terminal app. I wasn’t able to read any of the information in that particular apps interface using Orca. I also tried the Fedora workstation edition, which uses Gnome as it’s a desktop environment. Let’s just say that was not worth my time. Had accessibility issues there as well, and surprisingly it was worse than the experience I had with KDE. I know KDE defaults to Wayland, as does Gnome, but KDE’s accessibility implementation seems to be a lot better than what Gnome has under Wayland, with the exceptions I’ve previously mentioned. Incidentally, the X 11 experience with Gnome is actually worse now than it was previously. For example, the terminal app does not even open for me. I should also note that all this is under Fedora 41, so people aren’t confused. #A11Y #Accessibility #Blind #Experiments #Linux #Fedora41 #KDePlasma #Gnome #Wayland #X11

If you're using #X11 on #Linux, you can make your right Super key (aka Windows key) more useful. Turn it into a Compose key for diacritics and special symbols! Simply add the following line to your `~/.xsession` file:

`setxkbmap -option compose:rwin`

🫠 I'm sure no one will miss that one.

「 In a blog post today on the GTK project blog, they noted as part of their spring cleaning they have removed their old OpenGL renderer given the successes of their newer renders. GTK developers have also made the move to deprecate their X11 and HTML5 Broadway backends 」
