You are totally free to work on whatever you want to. You don't have to use the software that the Wayland devs (and other developers that like Wayland) produces. You can use and code whatever you want.

Oh good! This is great news!

So you've managed to get redhat to commit to continue to package an X server, then? I'm impressed by this achievement and send my thanks for your efforts - they've been trying to drop it for a while now, it's only wayland's continuing status as unusable vapourware that stops them.


You don't have to use Red Hat's products or code if you don't want to. There are plenty of competitors that might suit your needs and desires better.

Oh, I don't? This is news.

So to be clear, you're saying that you've spoken to the management at my company and convinced them to switch away from redhat?

If you could post a link to a copy of the email from the higher-ups, just so I have it in writing, that'd be rad. Thanks! :)


What a constructive comment. Are you a Wayland developer by any chance?

Clarification: The AMD iGPU driver (or Chrome) on Ubuntu 24.04 has bugs on your hardware. You could try a newer and different distro (just using a live-USB) to see if that has been fixed.

The beauty with Free Software and Linux distros is that "they" don't have to do it, anyone who wants to (including you!) can do it.

In theory. In practice, every app is designed for X11 or Wayland, building your own means you need to follow what most people use anyway if you want to have any working app on your system, or rewrite every app yourself

5-10 years ago there were no apps designed for Wayland. If you build it they (app developers) might actually come!

yep, that's why I stuck with x11, as it still does everything I need it to do. it's actually never crashed since they stopped fixing it.

I only have horror memories for trying to integrate with Acumatica as well....

The article defines quality as being as close to the source as possible. AI upscaling adds detail that wasn't there in the first place.

Yeah, it is almost like that complete OS should be called something else than "Linux".

Then you only support 1 distro. If anyone wants to use your software on an unsupported distro they can figure out the rest themselves.

No, they come online and whine that you didn't package your software for <obscure distro>, that your software is shit and you're incompetent.

What is the point of automating another UI/Desktop than the one you are actually using? If you allow people to build different type of systems you can't expect them to function the same and have the same API.


This is obtuse.


There have been a lot of cases where adopted kids where not abandoned but rather taken from their parents. There is a market in adoptions and not everybody involved has been "clean".


Some movies like Avangers End Game are presented in 16X9 Dolby Vision on Disney+ vs 1X2.35 HDR10 on UHD Blu-ray. You can look up comparisons on Youtube if you want to.

So it is not always the case that the UHD disk is better in all aspects.


I'm sure someones ripped that dolby vision stream for you
