  • The DRM leasing protocol, the requirement for VR under Wayland has been long implemented across the Linux desktop except for one, it's one thing if nobody wants to work on it and it gets delayed, but when a solution is agreed upon and then 2 years later you go back on that then there's a problem

    IDK if Brodie heard, but GNOME is also implementing accent colors, using the protocol everyone agreed to without them that they were pissy about before, so QT apps will follow accent colors on GNOME and GTK apps will follow them on other desktops as well. The settings menu for them looks very similar to the one on COSMIC and Ubuntu.
    Kinda interesting that two of the things GNOME was being so obstinant about not implementing have now been implemented in such a short timespan. I guess we'll know if they've really changed if they implement SSD.

      The same thing could be said both ways tbh. On GNOME Wayland you can do remote desktop server with RDP out of the box from the settings app and it works flawlessly... On KDE Wayland it's a pain in the ass and it barely works, at least in my recent experience (I know they're working on it though).

      If it was a lack of funds, maybe they shouldn't have wasted everybodys (including their own) time, by opening a discussion about something that, as it seems, just about everybody else had agreed upon a long time ago. Sometimes I feel as if Gnome devs just do something for the sake of being different. But overall I don't really care for their true intentions, tbh. They're simply not in a position to dictate what everybody else should do.

      Even if you are 100% against the decisions of the rest of the group you either learn to play ball to get things done or move aside and wash your hands off the decision making. Wasting years of development time just to go along with the original decision is in fact very harmful to any project. He was being incredibly stubborn yet even he had to concede at the end, which made it even more silly.
      The one redeeming quality was that Wick did see things through by actually working on fixing the final patch, but it still doesn't change how unproductive the entire ordeal ended up being.

    At 22:28 you say that Jonas had been apprehensive about supporting the protocol, but wasnt Jonas the one who helped from the GNOME side to get the protocol merged into wayland at the beginning? I dont remember you mentioning him in the video as being apprehensive about the protocol.

    As someone who is saving for a new PC and waiting for windows 10 to EoL (Whichever is first) to fully switch to Linux. I'd like for my desktop to just work with the things i use. Therefor i'm probably going to go KDE Plasma 6.1 or whatever is the latest at the time. the GNOME devs and their constant back and fourth is frustrating to see as an end user

    i used Ubuntu to learn Linux because it was convenient and removes a lot of unnecessary steps if i need to set up a Linux VM but for actual long term usage as the primary OS of my PC i went to arch in the end because that brings me closer to one of the main arguments i always say for using Linux besides just getting away from Microsoft.
    To me Ubuntu is like the Playground/testing ground you go to if you either dont want to get too deeply in to Linux or if you just need something Linux real quick like in my VM example but i dont see it as a Serious desktop for anything other then that and Users that you cant get to learn even just the basics necessary for anything else.

Maybe if GNOME, Wayland, and KDE had a constant stream of funding from LF they could dedicate people to these important projects, even if people wanted to be weirdly bureaucratic and opinionated over implementations!

      As shown in the video. Sebastian Wick tried another solution but found it to be having other problems and as cumbersome to get done. So they went with the solution they didn't like but was agreed upon in wayland. Also, they weren't preventing someone from working on it.

    Gnome portals annoy me to no end...
    I want to use flameshot as my screenshot application, so I have it bound to the printscreen key. What happend when I press it? Nothing... Except a log message that the portal confirmation dialog couldn't be opened, because flameshot is an invisible window, so I can't allow give it permission to screenshot. Is there a way to manually force the portal dialog to open? No. Does the portal dialog open if I use the gui flameshot tool? Yes, actually. Do the permissions I grant there carry over to the keybound flameshot? No, they do not.
    In essence: I can't take screenshots on gnome Wayland unless I use Gnome's inbuilt, garbage screenshot tool

    First, why the hell are gnome devs not working on fractional scaling?! X11 applications are still broken or very very blur.
    I have a snall 14 inch display with a resolution of 1080p. Everything looks small without scaling. If I put a command to enable it, xwayland apps get blurry.
    They could take a similar approach like the kde desktop.

      Their back end is pretty silly, but I really do like a lot of the things they do, such as trying to make screen readers better on wayland. They are also in the front row of desktop innovation, like removing desktop icons (i will unironically die on this hill), background apps, etc, and they to this day are still the most polished desktop linux experience ever, despite KDE getting more advanced features.
      Of course their uncooperativeness is bad but I really think GNOME brings some value to the table

BUT, I would also rather not see Gnome be pressured to implement something if there are both issues with Flatpak support (which I use exclusively), and potential security issues also... after all, how would one use this solution on an immutable distro, for example, where all software is installed via Flatpak? Sure, it works on Steamdeck, becuase Valve build Steam into the base image, but is that really the way to do this?

The windows decorations are on the wrong side. And to fix any of it, I need mods it’s not just a simple going into settings and change something.
    Honestly, I’d rather it spin off into its own thing and leave the rest of Linux alone.
    And yes, I know there are extensions, but I don’t want to have to get extensions to fix basic problems that should not be there.
