Yeah but his patches are so bad they almost all needed reverting so…

Kanata does this and more

Send him a new one personally, thanks

interesting, thank you.

It really is spotify’s killer feature for me, probably won’t switch to something that doesn’t have it.

Spotify has a feature where if it is playing on another device, you can control it with any other device logged into the account, is there any good way to replicate this with a linux desktop and an android phone?

To take a serious stab at this post

I know, every time it’s rare.

Do you know it isn’t? sometimes rare things happen to you.

It’s not a real issue.

who has ever said that to you?

I chose the wrong distro. I have the wrong graphics card. I should have known to use kde over gnome for this use case.

are you aware that if you ask questions nicely and with humbleness instead of like a jerk you’ll get different styles of answers?

I should have known that electron and Wayland were a mess at the time despite being the recommended desktop

that’s fixed and long passed us, they were new and experimental for a while but now they’re mostly the default.

based on you not reading documentation and then getting mad at it in the other post i’m inclined to agree

the documentation doesn’t say to use xrandr to do that, it gives clear instructions you didn’t follow.

Do you have statistics to prove otherwise?

I promise you I’ve never had to run something like xdotool or xrander just to set up basic shit like mouse gestures or a default display like a tv.

you don’t, why would you? use kde they have built in stuff for this… you said you use bazzite

you’re unlucky and such issues are rare, except nvidia problems I’d say issues are actually less frequent. i have helped countless people install linux.

do you honestly think your single experience is representative? do you not think i could find countless reports of windows doing the same?

Ihey fixed this, it should be working

Half complete is a nonsense claim, all that’s missing is better accessibility and some xdotool stuff. I’d go so far as to say that it’s x11 that’s half complete.

x11 is horrible… no way to support mixed refreshrate/dpi displays because it’s fundamentally against the design, as well as no model whatsoever for security… yeah, wayland needs accessibility sure but at least it isn’t fundamentally broken.

any app being able to keylog and screenread is my standard of a horrible model.

if you don’t need accessibility stuff or an extremely small subset of xdotool functionality (see kdotool) it’s better and safer in every way.

wayland is a major overhaul that massively improves things dev-side, security-side and hardware-support side, pipewire is not nearly as important of a change, and pulse wasn’t nearly as horrible as x11

I am allowed to have preferences, and I am not making factions, just stating my preference.

i never said anything about hyprland being more customizable, I said it’s better if you’re willing to configure things, if you don’t want to build your setup from scratch kde is great!

i disagree that I even implied what you’re saying.

I never said it wasn’t customizable, I don’t know why so many people heard that.

Most people do not in fact look at the settings of their computer.
