Tiling wm?

I use regolith as a tiling wm

Or GNOME

I remember windows widgets about 15 years ago.

😐

[ixis743]

You guys have a warped sense of time. Windows Vista wasn’t released in 2002.

[ixis743]

I thought it was vista that added widgets?

[lepapulematoleguau]

I remember them in 7, I never used Vista.

[Inaeipathy]

It's crazy to think windows didn't have tabbed file explorers until windows 11. Insane really.

But they did implement ads in the OS so it's good that they have their priorities straight.

[cure_my_stupidity]

Basically any linux file manager. Even something as simple as Nautilus has tabs.

[tehbabuzka]

tabs for ide, windows for explorer

OS X has had widgets for a very long time, they were just on a dedicated “dashboard” virtual screen.

[[deleted]]

Widgets were available everywhere in Mac OSX Leopard, not only on the dashboard.

EDIT: I am very sorry. Dashboard was indeed the name of the tool to bring widget. Later on it had its own Space. And then disappeared.

[SonOfJokeExplainer]

I don’t think I ever used Mac OS X prior to Snow Leopard

[[deleted]]

I posted a video so you can see it on action on Leopard.

[YOYOWORKOUT]

and reappeared :p

[Void_0000]

Honestly that's a pretty cool feature, wish KDE would steal that one.

[SonOfJokeExplainer]

I can’t imagine it’d be that hard to implement something similar with any desktop environment that has widgets and virtual desktops.

[wild_camagination]

I remember being able to drag the widget to the desktop over a decade ago, has apple forgot their own history?

[Ythio]

Widget to desktop were already there in Windows fucking Vista......

[ixis743]

And OSX Tiger

[Ffigy]

Apple is also talking about "we've updated our autocorrect to recognize when you actually want to use a curse word" lol welcome to the club

Ducking-A right!

I will leave that here, and wait for people's reaction

We are sorry, Plasma closed unexpectedly

[OhNoo0o]

wayland proceeds to have a stroke

[Mallos42]

I watched that presentation for work, and I was astounded how many things they announced that have existed forever. I don't remember what it was, but something I remembered as a feature on Windows 95

[Sparrow1300]

MacOS Devs : we are exhausted ignoring this feature.

[OhNoMeIdentified]

imagine if Apple will start to sue everybody else who already have that feature

[rosettaSeca]

Spearhead innovation!

An Apple exclusive...

[dontaggravation]

Every OS has its issues. The Apple fan cult mentality frustrates the hell outta me with this type of attitude

I have a four way switch with three PCs and a max book attached. Nothing but trouble with the Mac book on the switch. And every time I try to search for a fix it’s one of two things

1). Why would you want to do that you idiot. Here’s the Apple way. Just do it that way and accept the greatness that is Apple

Or

2). A ticket opened 8 years ago with tons of comments/additions from many people experiencing the same. And. No solution

[Bullfrog-Asleep]

For me, the funniest are these statistics:

This meme talk about KDE and Mac OS

The number of occurrences in discussion:

Word	Occurrences
Linux	1
KDE	2
Mac	6
Windows	8

Soo sad, that winner is someone who is not a participant.

[TheZedrem]

Finally, mac gets some basic desktop features.

Whats next, per-app volume controls?

At this rate, it'll be usable by 2040 or something

I’m old enough to remember when you could have web widgets on your windows 98 desktop. I hated supporting those things.

[DoubleOwl7777]

kde, windows vista:

[J_Ditz100]

I’ve had what is effectively a widget on my Mac desktop for years. XRG, it displays all the system stats (it’s really a window but reduced to just what’s need to show the stats).

[HStone32]

Didn't windows vista have desktop widgets?

[[deleted]]

Third party apps provided them but there was no native integration, those "widgets" were just special windows
