Careful, Germans take it seriously.

As I indicated, please check (articles and the documentations of) font renderers at this point.

At this point I’m not expert enough to explain more details. You can check font renderers.

Below is what’s in my mind but it’s just a guess.

In typical PC architectures you have IO between the storage and the RAM, and then there’s the copying from the RAM to the VRAM, and editors maybe also want copying from the VRAM to RAM for decoration purposes etc.

AFAIK it’s the copy cost for the memory. GPU makes sense only when the hardware allows this copy to go away. Generally, desktop PCs don’t have such specialized hardware.

GPU-accelerated renderer.

There’s a reason why GUIs don’t render fonts in the GPU.

I can agree, but I MYSELF will pick a strong PW. So they better just fucking encrypt the thing, fucking please for the love of god.

by any process on the system

This IS bad. Btw they can ask the user to type the password rather than saving it in a plaintext. I can’t believe comments on this thread defend Signal…

Poor workflow. Switching applications is horrible if you have 4 windows open in one desktop. Even gnome is far better at that.

You write like one can do stuff on Linux with one command.

However, Linux enthusiasts simultaneously tell the user to spend time troubleshooting problems on their own, and say that’s a given.

It’s a double standard I see on the web.

Using Windows I can tolerate most of their shit. But their Administor stuff and security model in general…

Agreed. If flatpak can continue to gain more control around GUI and hardware, I would finally be able to hop on the wagon completely.

Kinoite shows the future of noob Linux I think, but it’s still new and has some rough edges. I installed it on an ARM and couldn’t make it wake up from sleep.

I prefer Fedora. I think Fedora lost the war on easy Linux branding to Ubuntu 15 years ago.

Ah, very good point! If we all had the dedication for UX like you do, Linux would be so so so perfect.

“Verified” doesn’t mean too much to privacy advocates. There have been incidents. I indeed want to check what my app is going to access before installing it.

As a professor I have to say… the site admin skipped the class that taught them to include always the color bar.

Remote desktops. I think the main complaints are the performance. To me the issue is that with x11vnc you could remote into an existing display, even the login screen. Recent Gnome finally seems to have it for wayland, but afaik KDE still doesn’t have it.

Agreed. And I do understand wayland is the future, having done studies around X11 a bit. The problem for long time users like me is that there are still expert apps and use cases that aren’t covered by wayland, at least for now. And because the current benefits of wayland are not obvious they will complain if their distros transition to wayland too soon.

The question now is, when will they remove it?
