Linux community, post about an OpenBSD review... On DistroWatch, not DerivativeWatch (lol)

No, it's fun, I'm just amused. :D

If Google decides to, it can remove anything from AOSP, as it has done countless of times. Android is deeply controlled by Google.

Does that use pipewire-pulse while you are using pipewire? That occasionally has weird issues.

Try launching Pavucontrol and see if it has similar issues.

A tiling windows manager with workspaces IS a switcher.

Sway. Windows manager, switcher... all that. Fully keyboard controlled. You can change any key combination you don't like. :)

I really like GNOME, but I'm so used to my Sway/i3 keybindings I've been using for nine years without any change... I just cannot switch. I'd also miss tiling.

Meanwhile, the two things I dislike with Sway:

• the way window borders look
• nm-applet can't be clicked to open a list of wifis, so I rely on nmtui (although it works on i3)

But I use a lot of GNOME software, especially on my phone. :D

The OS itself is kinda nice, but having their own app format surely does not help.

They've waiting too long with open sourcing some components and have only just started open sourcing a bit more, I believe they're currently open sourcing the gallery app.

I test it occasionally, but there isn't even an XMPP client that supports OMEMO (although XMPP is built into the system), no KeePass compatible app, no Syncthing, no public transport app I could use for Germany, ...

I could use it with the Android app support, but that's proprietary and the goal would be to use Linux instead of Android, not an Android container on a Linux running on an old Android kernel.

On other distros, I can just use regular packages or Flatpak (for example pretty much everything from the GNOME project works on phones these days) and don't miss anything really.

Yes, that seems all like neat technology, but what is the use-case for that?

I was trying to find a summary of what it does, but couldn't. That's how far I've got.

Not sure what they complain about, but to me that self promotion is annoying.

We need to stop using legacy IP.

Exactly that. Also, I can define everything exactly the way I want. I have a shortcut for screenshots (that allows me selecting an area and saves it in /tmp and also let's me paste it, so I can use it in whatever way I want). It's the key combo that seemed most intuitive to me.

My config is simple and I understand what it does. I feel like I actually understand my setup, which is nice.
