If it's some technical limitation then it may be overcome, if it's something psychological then situation is much harder.įor example a lot of guys present iPhone (or sometimes iPad) as reincarnation of Newton, and yes, the devices look similar. But before you'll try to resurrect some old concept you need to find out why it failed in the past. It's not unusual for other things to change that make something that used to not be reasonable now become reasonable. There are a lot of things that have been 'explicity rejected' by people in the past that are in common use today. Posted 23:12 UTC (Sat) by khim (subscriber, #9252) Today... there are just not enough people to do that: if you want to continue to create something new then you must be ready to weed out something old, too. It was not as troublesome 10, 20, or 100 years ago: markets grew, population grew, pool of knowledgeable workers grew, it was possible to keep both old and new things alive. Linux succeeded: it basically killed Unix and took it's niche, iPhone succeeded, too: it (along with Android) killed RIM and Symbian and took it's niche, webOS failed (and it's now time to write it off). If it becomes large enough then it gets enough resources to survive, if not then it's time to finish it. Any new creation starts from one user and grows from there. This is strange conclusion: we don't know if something will stick or not unless we'll try. By that logic Linux itself should never have been created, the iPhone should never have been created, nothing new should ever be created because everyone is perfectly happy with what they have. It really depends on the popularity of said things. Posted 17:47 UTC (Thu) by khim (subscriber, #9252)Īnd therefor (according to you) such choices should be eliminated so that NOBODY is able to use them. No mention was made of any expectation of interest or "pandering" by others. who said anything about providing support? The original comment was simply about developing alternatives to Weston. However, while we're on the subject of strawman arguments. > However, it doesn't mean that everyone around them has to care about it, and/or pander to their needs, requests, and demands of other projects. Sure, it's not literally _denying_ the freedom to work on alternatives-that was a bit of justifiable hyperbole on my part-but the original comment was clearly disparaging the idea of developers working on anything but the "1 good enough" solution, which, if consistently applied, would include anyone working on Linux.

Anyone who wants to work on an alternative desktop environment is more than free to do so no-one is denying them that right. > Yes, it would be if anyone had said that, but you're arguing against a strawman. I desperately wish this point was more widely appreciated. We don't need 20 window managers, just 1 good enough one. >.> If there is one thing I would like to happen, then that would be that nobody would replace Weston with anything else. Fortunately I was able to work around or find alternate solutions for the broken bits, and kde4 itself has improved dramatically since then, such that at least with semantic-desktop not only turned off but actually compiled out (gentoo, USE=-semantic-desktop), I can honestly say I'm enjoying kde4 as much if not more than I did late kde3, now. It sounds horrible I know, but there's a productive workflow there that I've grown to depend on, and I was VERY unhappy when an earlier version of it broke with my transfer from kde3 to supposedly ready but still in reality VERY early alpha quality kde4.

Combined with (sloppy) focus follows mouse, click-to-raise and with semi-transparent inactive, that lets me work with either the two side-by-side windows or with the almost-maxed and a half-maxed window concurrently, or with all three windows, the back half-maxed one viewable when focused (but not raised) thru the semi-transparent inactive almost-maxed window above it.

Reasonably current kwin is tiling capable, titlebar height (and lots more) is configurable, and as with any self-respecting kde app, all major triggerable functionality is mapped to configurable hotkeys.įWIW, my kde is highly customized as a sort-of hybrid tiling/floating mixture, with floating dominating, but various windows configured to specific sizes and/or locations, including two dominant themes of maxed-Y/half-maxed-X for side-by-side for things like browsers and terminal windows, and maxed-X/almost-maxed-Y, lacking only titlebar height (and sometimes no-border so I get full app height as if it had the titlebar anyway), for things like tri-pane mail, news and feed-reader clients. Of course that, or something very close to it, is already possible with kwin.
