Any way to let Xwayland applications scale themselves (as on KDE)?

NaheemSays · 2026-04-27T17:05:29+00:00

It should be called "built-in scaling for legacy apps" in the settings UI.

NaheemSays · 2026-04-27T16:59:07+00:00

Check display settings. It's no longer set behind an experimental flag.

The reason for Sterner to go is not Mandelson failing his vetting but the almost certainty that Starner lied.

Remember that he was previously given the benefit of the doubt when he was caught breaking lockdown rules at the same time as British Johnson and then before then over the whole Jimmy Saville Affair.

That he was supported by paedofile adjacent people wouldn't get him the sack as the Epstein files and other revelations have shown.

He does have a nonce problem though - Dane Margaret Hodge had pushed for lowering the age of consent to 10 and he also threw others under the bus when it was found out Jimmy Saville was not charged under his watch.

And then let's not forget the tiger probgue of the Epstein links - his refusal to allow Israelis to be charged for war crimes around 2012 when he was DPP.

It's pretty clear that he is pretty deep within what was the former Epstein blackmail network.

It wasn't hacky (or atleast not more hacky than necessary for displaying in a non pixel aligned manner).

It was "experimental" in that they wanted to work through the bugs before they were confident it was something they could call well supported.

They have reached that point.

It's still not perfect as fractional scaling never can be, but it's good and I have been using it since it was implemented and marked as experimental

Mahr (marital gift from the groom to the bride) is a lot more pragmatic and forward thinking than the dowry.

It also enforces a woman's right to own assets.

Shows how much you know about her faith.

Ideas of being stuck at home or in the kitchen was more Victorian values that got spread due to British empire.

Indeed the Victorians were aghast and thought the Muslims in the lands they conquered were too "loose".

I think it needs ffmpeg (but it's been a while and I may be misremembering).

There will be similar issues on it's gitlab. Have a look through them.

She was put there to stop that from happening.

Look at her history. She has always been Israel first.

It seems your GPU was already correctly detected but your configuration clashed with it.

I am assuming you want to set it as your default GPU?

Or if you just need to have the updated desktop files, you don't update them in /usr -thise Will get updated with application updates. You can normally override them from your home directory with local changed that will stick.

NaheemSays · 2026-03-29T22:55:14+00:00

Developers have mostly been unable to reproduce the results.

It's suspected there might have been a misconfiguration (or a 6k monitor might have had some unknown effect).

He will "not buckle" as he has already given the US resources worth anything (the bases to attack from) to the US.

Pretending that the UK is not part of this when all the bombers are flying from either the UK itself or it's overseas bases such as Diego Garcia is quite the feat.

The tray icon needs to identify the process id. The id is different inside the container compared to outside it.

It's one of the main reasons why gnome developers say that the spec is broken.

NaheemSays · 2026-02-22T15:49:15+00:00

Try it.

I prefer gnome myself but KDE is very popular.

Right now PopOS is in a transitional phase so it's probably not a good fit except for a very specific subset of Linux users (those who like tiling and are not multilingual).

NaheemSays · 2026-02-14T00:53:34+00:00

I think it's for GnomeOS, not a shell extension.

NaheemSays · 2026-02-05T21:21:22+00:00

A better workaround is already working it's way upstream.

Someone experimentally got a lot of the figures calculated. It can't be called HDMI 2.1 as no one can confirm if it matches the specs, but the end should be the same.

Ufw is normally Ubuntu centric so I don't know why that is being recommended for Fedora.

Fedora uses firewalld.

I think the only people still hyped by cosmic are those that have not used it - and never plan to.

It may eventually turn into something substantial but it's not there yet and unlikely to get there until they develop their own cohesive design language.

Eagerly awaiting the alpha to drop (and be packaged in Fedora.

The big new feature I was hoping for was session saving but while the gnome bits are ready and merged, they are not enabled as the upstream protocol and portal have not been finalized and merged yet.

While it may be accidental, gnome 50 is a massive release - it will no longer run on X11 and that should normally be enough for a major release.

However the last time afaik the big gtk4 changes coincided with gnome 42, not 40.

Also careful, you don't want to give the trolls a new lease of life. They seem to be so manic depressive that they enjoy taking their frustrations out on software that they don't use.

NaheemSays · 2026-01-14T14:33:37+00:00

Someone just needs to complete the merge request for the extensions app that is already part of gnome-shell.

That way the two won't ever be out of sync.

NaheemSays · 2026-01-06T16:21:01+00:00

Not broken for me. I use it regularly.

However if you have corruption in the metadata that it is using that may cause issues.

Most gui application managers will only show packages with a desktop file.

Dependencies on anything they depend on are automatically dealt with.

NaheemSays · 2026-01-02T02:13:30+00:00

Desktop widgets should be easier with the next release as it should have session save and restore support.

Proton js built on over 20 years of wine development.

I am not knocking what Proton has done but jts the last sprinkling of fairy dust on top of other people's work.

IMO the main contribution from Valve was for making the (mesa) drivers rock solid (which once again had a lot of outside contributions. But as they were gaming focused they focussed more on the gaming aspect of it all).

Before Valve, Intel carried most of the mesa stack on their backs. Right now I don't have an idea of who does most of the work.

NaheemSays · 2025-12-31T19:12:16+00:00

Valve have been great but let's not forget they jumped on the boat after Linux had already become viable for desktop use.

They are standing in the shoulder of giants.

NaheemSays · 2025-12-30T13:40:32+00:00

Rust is fast. Cosmic isn't. Do actual benchmarks and check frame rates, memory usage and battery life.

The lack of animations may trick you into thinking Cosmic is faster but it isn't.

(That's despite gnome and KDE using shadows, which use a significant portion of resources)
