Steam has always had a Linux Runtime for that exact reason.

What kind of functions do you write which you share between your scripts? Generally if I'm wanting to reuse a non-trivial function, I extend the functionality of the first script instead.

I used to use Strawberry, but my collection has grown enough that I can't just sync it everywhere, so I use Jellyfin now. I still use Strawberry's library management to move files into album artist/album/00 - track.ext though. Someday I'll dig into id3v2 to just write a script instead.

Hard agree. I've played exclusively with one group, and we've only ever played with Into the Odd-style combat. It's been plenty expressive for us.

I was curious about what they'd say next. Their argument is "most users don't need more than Xorg, so it's 'silly' to expect investment in Wayland".

I found some agreement in "as more people need Wayland features, investment will grow", especially with the Valve and KDE/wlroots/gamescope. Also Automotive Grade Linux embracing libweston.

14 years later the need is slowly growing so the support is slowly growing

Yes! I agree wholeheartedly. Adoption has been slow because Wayland did not meet the needs of most people more than Xorg did. Cinnamon isn't moving any time soon because the value-add isn't enough for the average desktop user.

But...

build something that people need

People have needed HDR and VRR for years. HDR is essential for professionals in video and image editing. They needed Wayland years ago, and it was being built with them in mind, not just the average desktop user in 2012.

Not every feature is used by every user of that software. I used X-forwarding over SSH once, ever. It did not add any value to me. SSH forwarding adds no value to the average user either. But it is essential to someone.

Not all communities I want to follow made the transition. I'm still on Reddit for HFY, and some smaller game communities.

But Lemmy has replaced a sizable chunk of my Reddit usage, especially around more technical topics.

That's because it was a regression from 1.5 to 1.6 that got fixed.

The 10x speedup is in linking builtins during startup, so it's only really seen for very small inputs.

xkb has been split off from Xorg, all Wayland compositors (that I know of) use it for mapping.

This is disgusting.

It's perfect!

I think I'm legally required to now.

Their work on Btrfs is also much appreciated.
