The freedesktop gitlab is migrating. Now where will I lurk on MRs and discussions on a bunch of random projects? š„

@BrodieOnLinux Sad to see they got rid of the CPU heating feature

@karolherbst Perhaps, I'll look into it.

@karolherbst It looks like cosmic-settings requires a power-profiles-daemon implementation, and suggests tuned:https://pagure.io/fedora-cosmic/cosmic-packaging.gitMaybe you could swap for power-profiles-daemon? Or do you just want no power profile implementation

Dipping back into #cosmic development tonight, I've always been frustrated that for a bottom panel, the "Small" size feels too small, and the "Medium" size feels too big. I made a PR that would allow for custom panel sizes, to alleviate my frustrations.Finally, I can have my size 48 panel the way I like it, and as a bonus, my old contribution to allow for separate sizing for different sides on the panel comes in handy making the applets on the right smaller! :)https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-panel/pull/396

@BrodieOnLinux focus follows mouse is good for tilers. I canāt say the same for floating windows

@BrodieOnLinux my problem with this (besides the obvious political problems) is that the project has barely been around for a week or two, thereās no proof of its technical merits, besides a hope that itāll become something. We do not put out change proposals to replace a staple of a Linux desktop with something that has been around for a few weeks with no proof of it being better, or more stable, or well tested. Itās all complete hogwash in my personal view

@BrodieOnLinux I always was on Wayland ā I started using Linux late 2023. I had a brief start with mint before the Godot engine contributors chat led me to Fedora. The Godot engine had my first open source project contributions.

@BrodieOnLinux just read it.The section where they are stating what theyāre asking for kinda puts a hole into their whole āforced adoptionā and āx11 is technically betterā story.How did distributions, WM developers, most application developers, and the entire Linux graphics community all ācolludeā together on one protocol standard, choosing to abandon X11 entirely?Lord knows the Linux community canāt agree that hard on something. It HAS to be that the technical merits exist.

@audaciousfurry @BrodieOnLinux There's also the idea that Xlibre is proof that X11 lives on; however, we haven't yet had proof that it will manifest itself into something actually better than X11.

@BrodieOnLinux @fiore I too prefer the adwaita cursor. It just feels weird to set it in plasma though š On COSMIC, cursor theme setting is a little borked still, and on Fedora we just have the Adwaita cursor by default for the time being

Some loosely collected thoughts on ext-zones (thread):1. I'll start by saying I'm not personally a fan of the protocol. I think the potential for abuse is pretty high (in this case, abuse means using the protocol for more than the "intended" purpose).

2. I've noticed a lot of "this has been discussed ad-nauseum before" in the argumentation by proponents of the protocol. Oftentimes when I see valid concerns brought up, the initial response is "I don't think that would be the case" or "I don't think that will happen", and then when it's brought up again, the "ad-nauseum" response is used.Saying "I don't think that would be the case" is not a great response, and it's okay to ask the same question again given that response.

3. I do enjoy watching Brodie's content, but I think he got the reporting wrong on this one. The pitch seemed to be that a vast majority of stakeholders are pro-zones, and only a few holdouts (GNOME in particular) were holding it back.He only barely mentioned that Xaver, a member of KWin, is pretty staunchly against the protocol as it stands today. I think a lot of groups understand the problem is important to solve, but don't think zones is the answer.

4. I can say all this while also greatly respecting the work that matk has done on the issue, and recognizing that the issues are valid.I'm also of the mindset that with every new platform, you're expected to work with the constraints given to you. We should absolutely be providing a wayland-native API for initial positioning of windows, for example. I believe this is most likely to be the solution for 90% of ext-zones' use case. The remaining bit can be solved in other ways.

5. I work for a company that deals with embedded linux displays, and the common automotive solution for window placement is Weston with ivi-shell (https://wayland.pages.freedesktop.org/weston/toc/ivi-shell.html)This allows you to control window positions for applications, and applications themselves can tap into ivi-shell to control their own.We don't need ext-zones in order to control windows in the automotive space. This is a non-issue, unless you want to use a desktop compositor in the automotive space.

6. Another thing I should acknowledge is that I don't use any MDI applications or otherwise multi-window applications that claim they need this protocol in order to function on wayland. As a result, I'm inherently biased towards wanting to control my own windows 100% of the time. That's something to take into account, as everyone has their own lean based on how they use their desktop.I do think we can find a use-case based solution rather than a blanket everything-protocol.

@BrodieOnLinux Iām glad you mentioned the thread at all, because I feel like the thread did a good job of highlighting what the issues are, but I donāt feel like the video took counter arguments to zones seriously, and were just seen as āobstructionā. I feel like given the comments Iāve read thatās the takeaway people had despite the intentions of the video. Itās hard being a creator and managing what the video is meant to convey and what actually gets conveyed.
