IIRC, they expect to have it released in the first half of December if there are no issues or delays.

They’re not killing X11 support, don’t worry. They’re just expanding to Wayland support.

In my experience, projects going to Wayland actually improves performance and system resource usage. I got around 200Mb RAM back, when I switched from Qtile X11 to Qtile Wayland. 900Mb on XOrg, 700Mb on Wayland. These are with the same configuration and the same programs being autostarted.

I actually don’t know. I tried investigating the issue, using different users, or trying from a clean install, or without my configs. I’m not sure about the sources of my issues. I know that one of the issues I had was unrelated (Tabliss in Vivaldi), but I’m not sure if the Flatpak issues and the Steam & Lutris Gaming issues were related, but I don’t seem to have those issues on PopOS. For now at least. I haven’t done any gaming yet but the flatpaks seem to be okay.

Impressive! I’d like to use this moment to apologise for my assumptions as I’ve only used Trinity once, and assumed that it was unmaintained, given the old school UX and finding it was a fork of KDE3. I guess I was mistaken, and I’m happy that I was wrong! The more, the merrier!

Apparently running an update on Fedora. My flatpaks were broken on Fedora 40, so I thought it’s a configuration issue on my part and did a clean reinstall when Fedora 41 came out. Issues were not present… until I ran an update.

I’d suggest switching to open source apps or apps that work on Linux, maybe check up on the compatibility of games you play over at ProtonDB.

That will make your transition smoother.

Last update 27th Oct 2024? Trinity is still kicking around? I have so many questions…

Will there be Wayland support?

What is the purpose of it?

Does it even use later versions of Qt?

How lightweight is it (how much RAM and CPU does it use on a cold boot?)?

I completely forgot about the Linux Upskill Challenge! I should have mentioned I’ve been running Linux as my desktop operating system for almost 3 years, and I’ve been tinkering with it quite a lot throughout so I’m quite familiar and very comfortable with the command line. I shoukd go through the Linux upskill challenge so I can fill in any knowledge gaps though. Thanks for reminding me!

The Megathread is a godsend from the god who took pirates as his favourite creation: The Flying Spaghetti Monster!

Now that I’ve said that, it actually makes a lot of sense, so… R’Amen. lol

I’m curious: How did having to support multiple platforms affect the development process? In what ways did it affect the technologies used or the development process itself, testing and bug fixing? What about bug reports?

On an unrelated note, a lot of people in the reviews say they’d love to see a longer, further developed game based on this idea. Do you have any plans for it?

Are you using Compiz? In 2024???

MATE-Compiz

Explain yourself

I don’t want a rolling release if I can avoid it. I don’t want a from-scratch distro where I’m suddenly in trouble because I forgot to install some crucial package that I wouldn’t have had to install on other distros. But I also don’t want a distro that’s forcing all sorts of software on me because that’s what it comes with (this point is about Arch-based distros: something that only ArcoLinux got right). I don’t want to wait to compile COSMIC every time there’s an update. I don’t want to compile from source all the time because that’s what the AUR is. And as powerful as the AUR is, it always feels janky, even with paru or yay.

I don’t want to worry that if I haven’t updated in a few weeks, I might get issues with the archlinux-keyring. You know what I’m talking about if you’ve used Arch long enough.

And after being an Arch Tester for a while and seeing how brittle package testing is (there are barely any testers, and that’s a massive concern), I decided I don’t trust the stability of Arch. So I left.

I don’t tinker anymore. No time.

BUT

I have a very specific setup with COSMIC, Hyprland, and specific apps I use. That’s just my chosen way of using my computer.

If I could get all this properly working on Bazzite, I’d have been there already.

Wow, I do the same thing! How great!

Setting up a WM and installing a ton of software you might need on Bazzite is a long and painful process. The best way seems to be to just create a custom Ublue image, and I’ve been trying to do that and have failed miserably on multiple occasions.

And on top of all that, there are a bunch of useless configurations, like the shell, and whatever they did with ld, breaking my Neovim in the process, which I’d prefer not to have.

While it is very good for a Steam Deck OS, it still has issues like every other distro out there.

It is true. I’d praise Fedora currently. I have praised Arch when I used it. For all the issues I had with its outdated software, I praised Debian for that month I’ve used it. I had praise NixOS’ rollbacks, while sparing the details on the learning curve and immense difficulty of setup and weird, obscure issues I had with it.

Ultimately, every distro without exception has some issues for different people. That’s a fact. It’s all about what you can and cannot live with, what fits and what doesn’t fit your purposes.

I want the latest software after some good testing and on a static release if possible, with all the software available, a fast package manager, and NOT Arch, as I was done with it for various reasons. Got pissed at NixOS, OpenSUSE’s zypper is the worst package manager bar none (because it’s slower than the older dnf, and doesn’t even have parallel downloads, and doesn’t have many mirrors either). So Fedora it is. And I’ll stay here for a while, seeing as there isn’t anything better for me.

And I’ll praise Fedora for what it does right, while casually avoiding the fact that the first thing I did after install was to install and set up dnf5, and not mentioning I had mirror issues twice in the last month (I had none in the months prior, but twice in the span of 2-3 weeks?).

Anyways, that’s just me ranting about Linux distros, because as much as everyone claims they’re the same (and they are when it comes to usage), they are very different when it comes to package managers, package availability, package versions, and release cycles, and those are the main differences between them all.

Wow, people are selfish bastards who will almost always put their needs before those of others. Who would have thought? I’m not defending him, I’m attacking you for expecting more of people.

And don’t pretend you wouldn’t have done the same. Put yourself in his position and tell me you wouldn’t have done the same thing, or maybe even handled the situation worse than he did.
