I meant from an idealistic perspective i.e a small and minimal, but featureful WM with a simple config and a built in bar, where all you reasonably need is covered, no useless extras. I think Pinnacle is trying to be an AwesomeWM replacement rather than a Spectrwm replacement. And that’s great, because I love Awesome, but for very different reasons to Spectrwm.

I wonder how complex it would be to convert spectrwm to Wayland…

1. Sounds like he’s quite experienced in the area

2. Appreciate the posting on the 2nd to avoid April Fools speculay

3. That costume is an awesome way of presenting yourself to the community!

4. Sounds good and all, but seeing as he wasn’t among the most active people since 2008, are we sure there wasn’t a more qualified candidate? Nothing against the guy, I’m just saying that surely there must have been more natural choices than him.

It all makes sense now! Like the 1234 password!

It’s already available in pretty high quality from pirate stream sites.

Also available to download as “PRE-HD” whatever that means.

Edit: PRE-HD means it’s the workprint

I got quite lucky, as my first laptop when I switched to Linux, was all-AMD and I had zero AMD issues. So when I was looking for a new laptop a few months back, I stumbled upon a cheap recent Thinkpad, with great specs, all AMD, and got it ASAP. Again, zero issues. But because of the Nvidia horror stories I’ve heard, I knew that there would be no Nvidia on my new machine. That was non-negotiable.

Sober works great, and is the only method that still works from the ones I’ve tried. I think most of them stopped working because of Roblox’s new Hyperion Anticheat which blocked WINE (unsure if they unblocked it at a later point as they promised, but I’d bet they didn’t).

Side note: The creators of Sober also maintain a project called Vinegar, which allows for Roblox Studio to be installed under Linux (it used to be for both Player and Studio, until the anticheat for the Player was introduced)

I’d love to become rich, so I can keep on pirating as a statement. Or to show a rich guy how much better pirating is as a service.

Maybe then we can get their attention and prove that enshittification is the problem, and not the cost.

How would you feel if I took it from you?

Correction: How do I take it from you?

I think it’s time we move from threats to actions.

Yeah, but it’s not a new war. It’s an eternal war, and when those on top push too much, we push back. We call those stages revolutions, and maybe it’s time to remind those on top that when a revolution happens, their heads get separated from their bodies. So either give us back some freedoms, or blood will be spilt. And it won’t be our blood.

There was a period where I was testing my laptop’s hibernation so I got uptime to around 30 days.

But now, The highest uptime I can reach is around 2-3 days if I forget to turn it off and leave it either plugged in or on a high battery so it lasts until the next day.

I can see where you’re coming from because of outdated libraries and flatpak sandboxing not really being a thing (it’s an illusion, really) but you can’t deny that this is the direction we’re moving in, and we need to get flatpak sandboxing and permissions right, to ensure a proper base level of security.

For those unaware:

• Many flatpaks use older, outdated, or end-of-life libraries

• Flatpak permissions are messed up because most applications ask to bypass the sandbox at install-time

It’s not every day that you see actually useful applications of AI, but this might be one.

I get where you’re coming from but I wish apps on GNOME could look uniform even without everyone kneeling to libadwaita, and we could just get uniform theming on all DEs.

GNOME.

Specifically their decisions on CSD over SSD (client and server side decorations)

I haven’t really had any other dogmatic issues with projects.

I found this today:

https://github.com/Cudiph/cwcwm?tab=readme-ov-file

The issue with that approach for the desktop is everyone will just move to other OS-es.

When Microsoft does it, you live with it cuz you have no choice.

This might be the first time that I genuinely like how a Catppuccin colour scheme turned out.

Well done! It looks… well… awesome.

(Great, now I’m stuck dreaming of AwesomeWM on Wayland again)

Yeah, I’ve had a developer tell me that they’ve done most of the beta milestone already. There will be an Alpha 6, however, so the absolute earliest we could see Beta 1 is end of February, assuming Alpha 6 releases end of January, and they move into Beta after that with no delays.
