Astral•4/28/24, 5:18 AM

Copr go brrr etc

gezelligOP•4/28/24, 5:19 AM

sorry I'm new to fedora

VagrantWinds•4/28/24, 5:19 AM

KDE's been doing work but Cosmic should also have HDR in beta when it releases

gezelligOP•4/28/24, 5:19 AM

I got enough beta shit goin on right now, I gotta reel it in a bit

VagrantWinds•4/28/24, 5:19 AM

Cosmic feels like a Gnome 4 without the bagage

gezelligOP•4/28/24, 5:20 AM

i will say I'm not a fan of the app launcher thing in whatever this is... gnome46

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:20 AM

We're really just missing HDR and VR leasing for GNOME Wayland now

VagrantWinds•4/28/24, 5:20 AM

Especially as System76 is willing to work with KDE, WLRoots, etc. towards common standards and protocols that help everyone

GGeechan We're really just missing HDR and VR leasing for GNOME Wayland now

Astral•4/28/24, 5:20 AM

pretty much

gezelligOP•4/28/24, 5:21 AM

if anybody has a suggestion that looks more like a macos or unity style persistent launcher I can install on bazzite easily lmk

Fedora LXDE Spin

LXDE, the "Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment", is an extremely fast, performant, and energy-saving desktop environment. It maintained by an international community of developers and comes with a beautiful interface, multi-language support, standard keyboard shortcuts and additional features like tabbed file browsing.

LXDE is not designed to b...

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:21 AM

I also pretty badly want HDR support on the desktop

VagrantWinds•4/28/24, 5:22 AM

Right at this moment Gamescope is the only full support of HDR

FennecTECH•4/28/24, 5:22 AM

AI HDR injection is something nvidia is working on

FennecTECH•4/28/24, 5:22 AM

So you can get HDR on SDR content

Astral•4/28/24, 5:22 AM

define "common standard protocols" in this situation because like... y know

VagrantWinds•4/28/24, 5:23 AM

wayland portals and implementations of things like color managment

FennecTECH•4/28/24, 5:24 AM

A modern fedora distro with lxde!

VagrantWinds•4/28/24, 5:24 AM

every wayland mailing list discussion is gnome never wanting to play with anyone else

VagrantWinds•4/28/24, 5:25 AM

gnome goes off and does their own thing while everyone else collaborates (vastly oversimplifying here)

FennecTECH•4/28/24, 5:25 AM

Can i run X86_64 OS on a 32 bit cpu with PAE?

Astral•4/28/24, 5:25 AM

is it? or is it more people are just kind of expecting gnome should change their approach on a dime when they've been working on stuff for a good hot minute in a manner that works for them?

VagrantWinds•4/28/24, 5:28 AM

people are allowed to like gnome. linux is freedom of choice. it's just that the way their dev team chooses to go about things they'll probably be the last DE to get every modern feature people have been waiting on.

VagrantWinds•4/28/24, 5:28 AM

and that's their right

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:29 AM

At the very least if there's ever some early patch work for HDR support in GNOME, I know it'll be implemented in Bazzite as VRR support was earlier

FennecTECH•4/28/24, 5:33 AM

Nvidia sucks

Astral•4/28/24, 5:33 AM

GNOME's approach has always been more "spending more time adding these features but the overall level of polish of these features when they do get added is quite high"

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:34 AM

That's basically it. They go at their own pace and prefer to implement the "best possible" solution to things, which causes a lot of conflict with those outside the gnome circle

GGeechan That's basically it. They go at their own pace and prefer to implement the "best...

Astral•4/28/24, 5:35 AM

mainly because it's a very different approach to how a lot of other linux projects do things with their more "bleeding edge" focus

Astral•4/28/24, 5:35 AM

but I think when your DE is designed to be the general face of modern desktop linux and is present at the front of most flagship distros atm that people new to linux will see when they look up "linux" that that's not inherently a bad approach

AAstral but I think when your DE is designed to be the general face of modern desktop li...

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:37 AM

I would have to agree. Gnome also has by far the most sponsorship money guided towards it, so that would also have influence on how structured they have to be. KDE has always been able to be more experimental

GGeechan I would have to agree. Gnome also has by far the most sponsorship money guided t...

Astral•4/28/24, 5:38 AM

mmm. And that's not a bad thing either. I think it's actually healthy that you have two big DE's tackling these two different major angles to things

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:38 AM

It's definitely two different approaches to a modern desktop

Geechan•4/28/24, 5:39 AM

Good thing we have the ability to choose what we prefer with Linux

Astral•4/28/24, 5:39 AM

exactly
