Yeah just learned about Redot today.
Oh a fork of Godot? Neato! Surely for a major technical reason or implementation beef.
No, apparently Godot social media leaned into the accusation of “woke” and that was the split. So Redot is meant to be “non-political”. Yay.
Spite fork, I’m sure that will work out great.
I’m sure spite is a productive and long-lasting enough sentiment to guarantee the longevity of a project.
Probably Unity learning a trick from the CIA and funding splinter groups to fuck with their opposition
I just checked their GitHub, last commit 5 months ago, meanwhile Godot has updates like every two months, reactionaries keep losing
I remember a lib taking offense to being called comrade by a groyper over this thing last year.
Then they go and use NixOS and hyprland.
Is hyprland nazis!?
E: Oh dear
From what I’ve been told, the hyprland community has improved and the dev has started being proactive in banning transphobes. That’s second hand info though. I think it’s simpler to just say that Hyprland is not very good software anyway. The Wayland tiling ecosystem is diverse enough these days that you don’t need Hyprland for eye candy.
let’s not shit on people that use a particular distro. unless the “distro” in question is omarchy.
“Omarchy is an omakase distribution based on Arch Linux and the tiling window manager Hyprland. It ships with everything a modern software developer needs to be productive immediately from Neovim (btw) to Spotify, Chromium to Typora, and Alacritty to LibreOffice. Hell, even Zoom is there!”
Holy smokes, gee wiz, what dorks
GNU/Linux has been piercing the mainstream so much these past few months that we even have our own Linux grifters and grift economy (tiling window managers).
I… I- I love tiling window managers
my fav WM ive been using for half a decade is a mixed (manual+dynamic tiling, and floating) wm but i mainly use it as a manual tiling wm.Is the tiling wm thing that much of a grift? (Genuine question, im not plugged in to online culture very much)
because tiling wm people are smug little shits “heh, i bet YOUR desktop environment can’t… SPLIT SCREENS” when it’s been like a standard feature for over a decade… probably more
The tiling wm folks only really get away with it because they slander desktop environments. You can get tiling in GNOME or KDE while also not sacrificing the rest of the desktop or a design focus.
People using tiling wms are like ripping out the whole house just so they can fit one piece of furniture in rather than trying to make the furniture fit into the existing well furnished house.
The grift basically is that people portray tiling wms (things like sway) as DIY houses when in reality its like a DIY shed. If you dont use a desktop environment you shouldn’t be taken as seriously as someone who does on issues of the desktop. This is how we get things like GNOME being blamed for not adopting unstable protocols because KDE and then a bunch of randos somehow paint a picture of majority support.
GNOME and KDE are both incredibly powerful and flexible, you dont need to throw the baby out with the bath water to perfect your workflow.
Also yeah tiling wms people tend to be chuds because most of them are just 1-2 people.
Honestly, I’ve come around on this in recent years. I love sway (and tiling windows), but I can do everything it does in GNOME/KDE, and I have the bonus of a no-nonsense cohesive system fit for purpose where accessibility isn’t a complete joke. It helps that both GNOME & KDE as organizations are very cool, imo.
Arch users try not to make another Linux, Japan distro challenge failed miserably
NixOS too
I just want my laptop that was otherwise e-waste to be able to run old videogames and work as a media center
I’m getting a new laptop, and I wanted to install Arch +, as it turns out Hyprnaziland. Currently, I’m using Pop OS. Any recommendations? I’m working as a web developer.
Install fedora atomic desktop (GNOME or KDE is fine), and then do all your Dev setups through podman/docker and all your graphical apps through flatpak. Or just stick with POP!_OS if it already works for you.
Genuinely will be more productive than 99% of hyprnazi dorks.
For web dev, you’re probably fine anywhere. If you need special software they might only provide it for Ubuntu, and if you’re on another distro you would need to use distrobox to run it.
I use OpenSuSE, if you’re on Nvidia or don’t update often (like every week or two), then pick Leap, otherwise Tumbleweed is good
Thank you for the suggestions. I’m checking them right now.
Fedora crossed my mind, but I wanted to test Arch after so many years and see how much I’ve learned.
Pop is great, but of course I couldn’t wait and updated to Cosmic Desktop, which is great, blazing fast, but being in beta has a lot of bugs. I might go with Fedora this time. Because let’s be honest, more than any fireworks I want stability.
