    If anyone wants a good example of what happens when you put a bunch of engineers in the room without a leader just go look at the dumpster fire that is Linux desktop for the past 30 years.

      So, are you a business owner, or do you just like the taste of shoe leather?

      I mean, even Windows games that use proprietary Windows graphics APIs work pretty well on Linux for me. What are you having problems with?

          Gnome requiring extensions for some basic functionality and happily breaking them are deliberate design decisions from the Gnome devs. Compare that to the kernel’s long standing “we don’t break userspace” policy. I don’t use Gnome.

          Wayland has taken a long time to get where it is now, but on my laptop which only needs to deal with one 60 Hz normal DPI screen running a web browser it was ready years ago. There have been a lot of edge cases that needed to be chased down - I needed VRR in XWayland apps and the ability to turn off DPI scaling for XWayland before I could switch my desktop over.

        It’s amazing how you resort to ignorant personal attacks when you hear something you don’t like.

        For what it’s worth, I spent last week tuning some k8s pod affinities. It’s not that I can’t, do LDE, it’s that I’m not delusional enough to think 2fps in some games is worth fighting KDE and gnome and having every extension break every other upgrade.
