I thought this was going to be something cool like building features around the vertical tab character (␋), but no, it’s just a tab-bar on the side of the window.

Open Office

Uhh, isn’t that old, like really really old?

I’m pretty sure the only reason Open Office exists is because of Oracle’s lawyers.

Everyone shifted from Open Office to the Libre Office fork back in 2010-2011-ish.

Have you been trying to use Open Office? lol

Disappointed at linux directly? No.

Disappointed at linux indirectly? Absolutely.

• Nvidia’s linux support: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYWzMvlj2RQ
• Ubuntu
  • Unity (at least it’s gone from main installs now)
  • Snaps
• KDE
  • Version 4 (at least it’s good now)
• Fedora
  • Forcing their own broken version of OBS that didn’t work (they finally removed it)
• Wayland
  • Not supporting screenshare (fixed with portals)
  • Not supporting global shortcuts (currently being investigated)
  • Accessibility (currently being investigated)
• Gnome
  • Not supporting system trays
    • Most people don’t want their background apps (discord, teams, docker/podman, OBS, etc…) to be filling up the foreground.
  • Not supporting server side decorations
    • Literally the stupidest decision ever made
    • Not supporting it forces all other developers to spend their time integrating their own client side decorations just so users can move/close a window in someone else’s desktop environment. (example: https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-408#%3A~%3Atext=Client-side+window+decorations)
    • Not supporting it means every developer has to deal with issues being reported to them that aren’t their fault.
    • Not supporting it means every developer now has less time to work on their own applications.
    • Not supporting it means that humanity has wasted a stupid amount of time reimplementing the same thing over and over again instead of just once.
    • Gnome saying that: “it’s not part of the standard”
      • Buddy, you’re the only one holding it back from being standardised.
        • Cosmic: Supported
        • Hyprland: Supported
        • KDE (Kwin): Supported
        • Unity (Mir): Supported
        • Niri: Supported
        • Sway: Supported
        • etc…: Supported
        • Gnome (Mutter, and those downstream like Muffin): Not Supported
        • It has… by all metrics… become… THE defacto standard.
      • “It’s not in the official wayland standard”
        • Buddy, wayland needs to support more than just the desktop metaphor. It also needs to support things like phones, handhelds, kiosk machines, car infotainment systems, etc… where having a window on a screen doesn’t make sense. You are a desktop environment using the desktop metaphor, you need to support the basic functionality of moving windows that pop up on the screen, and you are the only one failing, and not only failing but failing so hard you’re negatively affecting all those around you, and not only that but you’re also not being accountable to how your actions are negatively affecting others.
