that explains a lot, thank you!

whats connected to that steamdeck that allows them to draw

Simple mobile tools has been sold to a company that buys apps to put ads and trackers in them. They likely wont be open source in the future either anymore. Consider changing the links out for the fossify versions, that’s a fork

instead of the simple mobile tools, consider changing them out for fossify versions. Simple mobile tools recently got sold to a company that buys up apps to put ads and trackers in them, Fossify is a fork

as long as software I use daily doesn’t work on it as transparently as it did to me as an end user on xorg then yes, to me as the enduser, Wayland does break things and no, Wayland is not ready

I am an enduser. I don’t care about the specifics, I expect things to work and not suddenly break.

For all the “year of the linux desktop” shouting, nobody wants to truly really think about or consider non-dev daily driver endusers who just want things to continue to work like they always have

omg quickpic

a blast from the past that I forgot about

this is useful and good to know, thank you

will help me decide what to go for

I wonder why it isn’t anymore, because it’s been downgraded to Non-showstoppers

its not listed as one is the weird thing, because it totally should be

imagine drawing and suddenly your compositor crashes leading to your program to crash and you to lose hours of progress, but other QT programs are fine

should’ve used krita because that’s QT except you cant replicate your workflow in that program because it misses features (and also you dont like it)

This is a real scenario I would have to worry about. That’s a showstopper for me

so Wayland is not ready to be a default yet

so in other words you need the sandbox if you want access to what microg would normally provide for you, with the caveat that an account is “optional” for things that “require” one, which in a normal google environment is almost everything and with mirog is pretty much nothing

sounds like microg is the better deal then, if I want to avoid google accounts and Google’s snooping

How is Wayland “ready” when critical things like idk, non QT apps quiting when the compositor crashes (and thus losing progress!) are called a “non showstopper”

I’m looking to buy a new phone soon, can you use GrapheneOS without a google account? because playservices is generally account locked right?
