Click baity title aside. This is actually pretty much pretty true. What the vast majority of people want when they’re writing their own composers seems to be specifically the custom window management aspects.

And it is true that even with something like Wlroots or a Smithay, it is a lot of works right your own composer and have it be “competitive”. And he is right. There are a lot of composers out there that are just not usable for anything more than the basics. And there are tons more which are just toys that have been abandoned that aren’t really usable. That being said we saw a lot of that with window managers, But yes, writing a compositor is a lot more then writing a window manager.

I personally don’t use hyperland, but I can see the point he’s trying to make, and I think it’s a rather good point. I think if we had more compositors that focused on having a scriptable window management, then that would be for the better.

I don’t really see this as toxic either. I mean, if it’s toxic to call a composite or trash in one way or another, then I would argue that 90% of the Linux community is far more toxic than he is. It’s just a matter of truth. Wayland is a big complicated thing with a lot of protocols and some of it is poorly documented.

And of course, this is him shilling his own composter. It’s his own composter, and this is the blog about him making his own composter. Of course he’s gonna put a post on it, shilling his own compositor.

That being said, As I said earlier, I would like to see a more scriptable take for things like window management. I don’t think hyprland has to be unique in this aspect, but as it stands, it most definitely is.

pardon my weird language, its hard to use STT.

I have one in a box somewhere, I should pull it out again, but I can’t get over how little storage it has

Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.

what the fuck. I don’t like google, I run fully Foss, and only recently installed microG, but I don’t agree with this garbage.

It’s easy enough to install any third party appstore. I don’t agree with this at all.

Try it at the other day. Not gonna lie, it seems like a total downgrade versus K9. I’ll not be upgrading.

If they get dinit i’ll probably try it

at the very least, you can easily install some TV oriented apps.

Finally, a phone I can actually read!

I use it a lot, I keep a little dock with me and a small bluetooth mouse and keyboard, when I’m typing on the go, I can just plug in when I come home and everything is there.

exact same thing with my emulators. I can also chroot into arch and get a full blown desktop environment if needed

this would be… somewhat possible, you can’t really boot GSI images, however the folk at BlissOS do have an android generic project that makes porting custom roms to x86 a lot easier. By porting android images to generic x86, we can serve them as temporary VMs, just like https://distrosea.com/ (I’ve actually been thinking about doing something like this for bliss specifically but funding says no lol).

This is contingent on roms being ported to x86 though, off the top of my head there are images floating around for

• Bliss (Obviously)
• Lineage OS,
• Vanilla AOSP,

and specific verisons of

• Project sakura (A11 iirc)
• CarbonROM A10
• Bootleggers A10
• RessurectionRemix
• Pixel Experience
• Dirty Unicorns
• Tesla

I believe there are also images of LMODroid and Calyx floating around… somewhere
