Wayland was entirely unusable and mired in politics. (Still is mired in politics tbh.) So Canonical took the things they wanted, added things they needed to get it working, and called it Mir.
When Wayland finally became functional, they also made mir a Wayland compositor.
Some of the Wayland Frog protocols stuff is stuff that originated with Canonical trying to make Wayland usable before they took their ball and went home because the giants of the industry didn't want to talk to a company of under 1000 people.
Not if Nickelodeon is right next to Cartoon Network. You hit "last" and then change the channel. That also gives you cover for why you're holding the remote and changing channels.
Much more appealing to me is running Android apps on Linux officially. I don't want to use Android as my main system, but I sure as heck would love to have one or two Android apps available on my Linux Machines.
It's not a perfect comparison, but if we go by the Steam Hardware Survey, the first item I can find on the list that's not supported with the latest beta drivers is the GT 730, at 0.21% of users. And it's from June 2014.
Its passmark score is 835, which is lower than the 9 year old Intel HD 520 (867). I somehow doubt though that driver support for Vulkan/Wayland will be the major blocker.
Don't their current beta drivers support like... 10 year old products?
I have a lot of complaints about Nvidia (which is one of the reasons I moved away from their cards), but longevity of support hasn't really been one of them.
Yeah I'm not sure this is a good precedent unless it's attached to "only because of your monopoly position." Like... Does that mean every app store needs to give a way for every other app store to use their selection? That's not how it works in any other industry (I can't buy Aldi brand cereal at Meijer).
Yeah, Epic are being pretty hypocritical, but hopefully this will result in some positive changes. I'm just shocked at how much judges are taking Apple's side in those lawsuits.
Yeah, I had this sort of experience back with LastPass, but Bitwarden works beautifully for me.
There's a potentially valid criticism if that occurs because iOS's mechanism is robust to poorly implemented password managers and Android's isn't, but that's also not the criticism being provided here.
So you know the built-in keyboard shortcut on Windows that opens LinkedIn? (IIRC it's Ctrl+Alt+Win+Shift+L)
That's because Microsoft sold keyboards for a while with "Office keys," so you could hit Office+W for Word, Office+X for Excel, etc. All that key would do is send all those modifiers. There are plenty of unused modifier key codes they could use instead, but they did this.
