TRULY modern OS

What does this even mean? So iOS, MacOS, Windows11, Linux aren’t modern?

a way better compositor than wayland (in fact, android has the best compositor in the world, compared to ANY OS)

Wayland is not a compositor, it’s a protocol. SurfaceFlinger can totally be made in Wayland. Saying SurfaceFlinger is better than Wayland is like saying words are better than English.

A properly modified desktop OS based on it (better than Samsung’s DeX for example), that is also able to run normal Linux apps, would be a huge winner.

Nobody will ever use this on Linux, unless it is implemented in Wayland. It is infinitely more likely for Android to rewrite its compositor for Wayland than SurfaceFlinger being adopted as Linux’s main compositor.

Do you really talk to your friends through email?

the proposal included a 5 year ban on any browsering

I guess 5 years is not too bad, but the judge would probably never agree to the ban.

Did you submit a bug report?

Given that even Mozilla (who has significantly less resources than Google) had the ability to create a second web engine and then abandon it, it would be dumb to think that Google doesn’t have at least 2 or 3 teams working on different browsers or engines for no reason.

Unless they’re prohibited from creating another web browser ever again (which would most likely be a bad idea), they can probably come up with a working browser in less than two years

I honestly cannot trust game reviewers after seeing some of the reviews for this exceptional game

I don’t understand your point. Do you want them to ignore the bugs and performance issues? Would you be happier if the reviews lied to you and said the game was perfect? If they took that route, I guarantee you’d be complaining about that as well.

where the fuck was that when Starfield came out?

“They didn’t complain about that game, so they shouldn’t complain about any game ever!”

Pointing out their hypocrisy will not help anybody. The best you can do is sit down and watch this comedy from the sidelines.

A Russian official has said that the game could face a total ban in Russia

The whole article is based off this unnamed “Russian official” btw.

I’m pretty sure that screenshot is Wayfire, not Weston.

What about the certificate installation on windows?

That’s simply bad software practice, which was fixed once pointed out. Fact is that if they had done this on purpose, they wouldn’t have changed it and instead, would’ve came up with an excuse to keep it the same way.

I never claimed it’s malware

I don’t keep track of who says what on this app. Many people in this thread have the idea that RustDesk is some sort of Chinese spyware that is secretly transmitting their files to the CCP. If that’s not your opinion, then I guess we are not in disagreement.

There’s no way for the user to know that clicking this button will edit their GDM config and disable Wayland

Yes, that’s the wrong way to do it, which is why they changed it. I’m not saying this is perfect software developed by experts, but the idea that RustDesk should be avoided at all cost is insane, specially when they have fixed every issue that was raised.

The only thing they are missing is a security audit done by a third party, which costs money and I doubt they care enough to pay for that just to stop all the finger pointing.

Bad coding practices is not malware, that just means the devs are not experts. Also, these were fixed when pointed out by the users, which is the whole point of being open source. The only reasonable issue is the direct modification of the GDM config, which required the user to click a button.

If you don’t want the NSA to spy on you, don’t use anything with a modem. Otherwise forget about it.

I didn’t even know it asked for an email for sign up. I just remember the recovery email.

I don’t think you are required to provide a secondary email, but you get less features without it.

Sounds like you made up your mind on RustDesk being malware, even though there is no proof. All of your replies are “could/can” without even a hint of factual information on RustDesk being some sort of Chinese backdoor, so I guess we can stop this discussion.

I doubt somebody running from a government is taking their tips from wired.com

They do store it and have provided it to authorities in the past. In their defense, modern laws require you to hand over any data you have or get shut down. But they already knew that, yet choose to ask for it anyways knowing that they have to give it away if asked to.

Steam client needs the XWayland translation layer to work on any modern DE, plus 32-bit libraries (which are not installed by default).

EGLStreams is not superior to GBM.

But I want to know what is AMD working on, specially if it has to do with the RT / HDR / color management areas.

HDR/Color Management is not really AMD’s job. That’s between the Wayland and Mesa guys (I guess you could say AMD belongs in the “Mesa guys” umbrella).

Also, I’m pretty sure AMD already supports ray tracing through Mesa, and is enabled by default since version 23.2 on the radv driver:

radv: Enable ray tracing pipelines by default
