#KWin compilations are killing my PC again…

AHHHHNNGGGHHH!!!

@tripplehelix

I mean, I appreciate that there's a DE tailored for people who've never used a COMPUTER before. I used to laugh at that and say that there's no such animal, but nowadays, plenty of young folks have been inculcated in iBrainrotOS and honestly do NOT know how to use a computer.

But when your apps force your narrow viewpoint on me when running in KDE (particularly CSDs), absolutely kindly go make love to thyself.

I'd much rather that #KWin forced a titlebar on top of the CSD apps. I don't care if that looks ridiculous; it SHOULD be ridiculous.

Argh, </rant>

But seriously, have a wonderful day, Gnome peeps. Make awesome apps. And maybe listen to crazy ranty nerds like me about a quarter of the time. Not more, not less.

What do you think is still missing in #Wayland?

I feel that the last rough edges have been ironed out in the last year. This includes #HDR, #TripleBuffering, #ColorManagement, #SessionRestore implementations, improved #Accessibility, etc.

What important pieces do you think are still missing in Wayland?

#XWayland #Mutter #KWin #Gnome #KDE #X11 #XOrg #Cosmic #Enlightenment #GTK4 #GTK #QT6 #Weston #Cinnamon #Xfce hyprland #niri #sway

Linux Display Managers/ Window Managers:

#Linux #DM #WM #SDDM #LightDM #Mutter #xfwm #xdm #kwin #gdm ....
lol

seriously though.
where does Mutter/ Budgie come from? it seems to be independent of the KDE/ Gnome universes.
I dunno. I feel like I see components from this or that, in that or this and it's keeping track. But does it matter.

I do know it matters when I'm messing around w/ the old #HDMI out on the #Funai #Magnavox thing from nineteen eighty 'fore.

Up top!

it was my birthday yesterday, and i already used up my once-yearly super powerful magic birthday wish. now that it's no longer my birthday, i can make regular, non-magical wishes, which are unfortunately far less likely to come true, but are not as rare.

my wish is that #KDE's #dolphin file manager handles "open XYZ folder in your file browser" requests by opening a new tab in the current window rather than opening a new window.

if anyone knows of a #kwin rule or something to do this automatically... i will send you a FREE copy of a king crimson meme i made several months ago

#KDE splittet #KWin #Compositor auf -

Auf der #KDE-Mailingliste erschien vor 2 Tagen ein Beitrag, der informierte, dass #KDEs #Fenstermanager und #Compositor #KWin in zwei Komponenten kwin_wayland und kwin_x11 aufgeteilt wurde. Der Code ist zwar getrennt, aber beide Komponenten können gemeinsam installiert werden, sodass ein Wechsel von Wayland zu X11 und zurück weiterhin gewährleistet bleibt, sofern die Distributionen beide Komponenten anbieten.

#KDE's #KWin Wayland & X11 Code Are Now Split, #KWin_X11 To Be Maintained Until #Plasma 7

https://www.phoronix.com/news/KWin-Wayland-X11-Split

'"The (basic) kwin split had been completed yesterday. […] Both kwin_x11 and kwin_wayland are co-installable […] lwin_x11 is expected to be maintained until Plasma 7, no new features are expected to be backported (to be fair, the feature freeze has been in place for quite a while already […]). New fixes should be landed in kwin_wayland first, then backported to kwin_x11."'

KDE Plasma 6.3.2 integriert animiertes WebP in Spectacle

Looks like this may be The Year of Fractional Scaling on Wayland (read: I've just started to use it and neither my eyes nor laptop fans begged me to disable it right away) #kwin #wayland

...A word of warning

If you encounter an issue with #KWin crashing after upgrading to #Plasma6 6.3, please do not report it to me, but to the KDE Devs on the Bug Reporter https://bugs.kde.org. It's a Plasma issue not a #XeroLinux one.

I cannot fix it. Temporary fix would be to press *F12* for *Yakuake* and type this `systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell.service` followed by enter key until issue is fixed

Thanks

Los amigos de #KWin son muy activos implementados diversos (y nuevos) protocolos de #Wayland.

Tip on editing #markdown files in #KDE - or rather, using KDE apps #kwrite and #okular + some #kwin shortcuts - see image.

Well, or just install the markdown kpart and edit in kate, I just learned. :)

Hi #Linux,

What do you primarily use for interacting with your systems?

Feel free to boost!

Tumbleweed now offers #Wayland support for #LXQt! Try it with #Labwc, #KWin, #Wayfire, #Hyprland & more. Experimental but exciting! #openSUSE #OpenSource https://9to5linux.com/opensuse-tumbleweed-now-offers-wayland-support-for-the-lxqt-desktop

Tal vez sirva para agilizar el desarrollo de #Mutter y #KWin.
