Today, they are bring it to specific devices.

Later, others will bring it to others.

I do feel a bit left out, though. Most android users do definitely get a shorter stick when it comes to update lifespan. I am still on 11 or something. How long before there's a serious security issue that can't be fixed with a play store update?

It's mostly their fault you have systemd as well if you're not a redhate user, because Debian's main excuse for adopting it was that GNOME was doing so. If you are, well, you can only blame yourself. Though also, at this point, you have non-systemd options.

They're probably not wrong about it being Nvidia's fault. Nvidia drivers have been decreasing in quality relative to AMD's (they only have to work well for CUDA for 90% of Nvidia's current revenue stream to be secure, at least as far as the drivers go) and they have never put much effort into supporting Wayland. I find I'm actually looking forward to my next GPU coming from AMD, but that comes with a couple of caveats. One, I am not going to run Windows. AMD's Windows driver is still bad by most accounts. Two, this is quite some years after the last time I tried an AMD card and found it didn't work worth a crap. That is, not only am I not involving the OS where AMD is weakest, but a lot of time has passed.

Given that AMD has only recently open sourced their GPU virtualization software, I will want to wait a while anyway, and I have no plans to buy a GPU in this generation. I bought a 4060 Ti 16GB as adequate for 2k gaming, and the cheapest Nvidia card of its generation to have 16GB, which I wanted for LLMs. In older games I can often do 4k60 Ultra, and I play mostly older games, so for me even the gaming performance has been surprisingly decent. Pity about the price, it was too much even with $50 off.

It seems like you're accounting for only very short-lived examples, but there are over 10,000 of them. Even if production stopped today, they would still be coming out of products in use and people's bodies for years, and since it's easy to make new ones and we tend to ban specific products instead of classes of chemical, they will be difficult to control if we exert our usual minimal effort.

I don't believe that we will, no. They are destroying them instead of archiving them. The people who would prevent that would release them now if they had them.

No one ever accused IBM of responding rapidly.

I am having a problem on my system where file requesters won't open.

I looked around and found it's a problem with gnome-gvfs. I killed it and boom, requester opened.

So I went and looked at the issue and they have declared victory and closed it.

I wanted to report that it's still an issue in 1.50.3 when they thought they had it fixed in 1.46.2.

So I try to log in and...
"Signing in using your GitLab.com account without a pre-existing account in gitlab.gnome.org is not allowed."

Your gitlab account isn't good enough for them, you have to have a gnome gitlab account. Fuck, these GNOME dildos are self-important.

I think I've figured out why the people who claim to be against pedophiles are defending Donald Trump.

It's because he let us know he'd like to be fucking his daughter, and his supporters are all products of incest.

Another part is that it breaks functionality we're using in the name of security, while X11 has security mechanisms that could have been improved to solve the same problem.

We should clearly assume they say the worst about Cheeto Benito since he's the one who prevented us from getting them.

This happens to me only when there is an EDID problem. For example my TV claims that it is much larger than it actually is, because they apparently used one EDID for an entire line of displays. This causes text to be the wrong size. When the EDID is fixed, everything displays properly.

Over 50% of PC users are still on a 1080p display.

Ugh, I'd like to celebrate this fork but I went to the project page and started reading and it's covered in a screed filled with spelling errors and including a dig against DEI. I'll wait to get excited until it gets new leadershit.

What do ancient fonts nobody uses any more or the Athena widget set nobody uses any more have to do with anything? As well, most displays used on desktops still have 100 PPI or less, which is nearer to 75 PPI than not. Most users are on 2k or less.

Deprecate, hack, and whack. If nobody is using it any more, then it can be removed, and that will help simplify the codebase that the people who haven't made Wayland reliable after fifteen years said was too complex to maintain.

There was no need to replace X. It's modular, and it works. Some parts of it still work better than any Wayland implementation.

My first machine which came with X was a Sun 4/260, which was a platform launched in 1987. When most PCs were still at 800x600 or less and virtually none had more than 1024x768, It had an 1152x864 or 1280x1024 display. The initial release of the X Window System was in 1984. At the time, the just-released Macintoshes had 512x384 displays and PCs mostly had EGA with 640x350 pixels, or CGA with even fewer, though some did have Hercules (720x350). X's origin was in W, which was developed for V, which ran on the VAXstation 100 (1088x864), Sun-1 (1024x800), and DEC Firefly (1024x768).

It's hard to understand what you meant in the context of these facts. Could you please explain?

Yes, one can certainly hope this shift from Ubuntu will lead to improvements in Wayland due to more use, but so far it's not very good.

GNOME of course is a lost cause, and systemd rode into Linux on its back, so even if it wasn't terrible I'd probably refuse to use it out of spite unless it was flatly and clearly the best. And there's no apparent danger of that happening any time soon.
