| > It's probably terrible on unsupported hardware. Having used Linux-compatible hardware for a while now though, neither of these are an issue. Even on supported hardware there are often tons of snags. You either get a ‘blessed’ device (XPS, some Lenovos, System76, Framework) or trouble lurks. And note that many many more devices are considered ‘supported’! > ...because Spotify migrated it's shortcuts to the more technically-correct MPRIS implementation. If you want shortcuts, set them globally and Spotify will respect it. And yet most of the other shortcuts work fine. I also don’t want global player control, because it always ends up activating on the program I don’t want it to. I also don’t want to have to configure shortcuts manually. They should work out of the box. Imagine how laughable it would be if Davinci or Darktable or Krita asked you to set all shortcuts yourself. > Good thing all of those programs are natively packaged for most distros, then. And yet they nearly always have rough edges the other platforms don’t seem to have. See my Dropbox problem. Or Discord running on such an old Electron that it creates problems with Wayland. No, Webcord isn’t a solution as it is missing a bunch of features and in maintenance mode. > but it makes me sad listening to software developers level outdated complaints against the ecosystem I’m getting so irate because they’re not outdated problems. You’re plugging your ears and going
‘la la la la’ thinking that if you don’t acknowledge the problems a lot of others are having, they don’t exist. |
