Use case for logging out of a single-user system?

Every time I see someone clown on ebussy, he’s always in the right. Is that how he generates so much seethe?

The use case is switching back and forth between x11 and wayland because neither of them are fully functional

Tried it once. Fucking useless turd. It was great back with Dropline on Slackware but that replaced too many default files with its own crap. Fast forward to 2020s and it's some weird retard on a stick tripe.

>switching back and forth between x11 and wayland
Gnome dropped support for X11, therefore on single user systems with only one desktop session (GNOME Wayland,) the log out button "issue" occurs.
>>108755140
Yes. The secret is that GNOME is really a touchpad and keyboard focused DE. For example, when you use the keyboard to maximize windows, move them to different workspaces, and switch between them, the lack of dedicated minimize and maximize buttons and taskbar or dock is irrelevant. So then it becomes a polished DE that stays out the way, and not a restrictive straitjacket.

x has fractional scaling
do you have mismatched monitors or something?
>>
>>108755498
x does have, gtk doesn't (and never will)
wayland will not "fix" that problem either, so if you (or the guy you replied to) wants fractional scaling, his only option is to use an environment that uses Qt, not GTK

logging out of a single user/single session system is a way to close everything and lock the system, as opposed to locking which just locks the system.

kde until cosmic matures in about 2-3 years.
>>
>>108755140
I tried others, and I just go back to Gnome. It works fine for me for the most part. The thing I hate about other DEs is that so many of them "need" a start menu that mimics the windows start menu. That's waste of the start key. You press the start key and you get a dinky little menu. I press the start key on Gnome, and I get a view of all windows on my current workspace, a list of my workspaces, and I can just start typing to search for an app.

Gnome feels to me, I don't know how to describe it, more digitally ergonomic?
>>
>>108757348
kde would let you easily do that change if you were inclined to do so, you can remove the bar and rebind start/command
windows-like is the default everywhere because that's what 90% of people know
>>
Cosmic is ambitious; System76 decided to make their own DE after interacting with GNOME devs, and seeing their arrogant hard-headness, and zealously toward anti-customization and minimalism.

Besides customization, it will come with native auto-tiling toggle, native window stacking, and a native shader wallpaper engine. Though it will take a while before it stabilizes, and for its native apps to mature and get features.

---

On the KDE side, they are switching to a CSS-based theme engine called Union, which should allow consistency and even more customization. After the CSS version of Breeze will come in 6.7 (with plans for CSS versions of the revived Oxygen and Air as a test for the customizability of the Union engine). The Breeze style will be succeeded with Ocean as a new style, which has the art assets (including icons) ready, and will review and overhaul all aspects of the KDE design.

KDE is also working on Kapsule, which will make Distrobox obsolete; it is able to both create distro containers and virtual machines, and will have native integration with the KDE Konsole terminal. So you will be able to simulate various other distros and export apps from there.

so gtk reimplemented with qt? that's so fucking retarded. why can't they port qtcurve to newer qt versions instead?
>>
>>108757604
If Gnome imploded maybe, but I'm content with it now. I did try KDE for a little bit, but it's just janky and kinda ugly. I remember moving my mouse across the screen and seeing my cursor change sizes 4 times. These little things attract my eyes like a magnet and piss me off.

AY! HARAM!

>>108757664
The main goal was to create a single unified input for themeing. There are currently:

- Qt Widgets (C++ based, Dolphin and older apps)

- Qt Quick (QML based, newer apps and the basis behind Kirigami UI and Plasma mobile)

- Plasma Shell (SVG based)

For someone to be able to create a consistent theme, they will have to be proficient in C++ coding, QML coding, and drawing SVG image assets. This is a massive undertaking, which is why the SVG based Kvantum engine became popular.

Qtcurve will need a rewrite C++ code for Qt6, and then a way to make it work with QML. The current industry trend is going toward CSS, and being portable to GTK is an advantage and solves an other problem.

>>108757749
KDE has an overview similar to GNOME where you can search through an applist or your opened windows. The default in KDE is start button + W, but you can reconfigure it to just Start Button or any other button really.

Also the mouse increasing in size after shaking it is a feature that can turned off in the settings. Not only is it a fun easteregg, but it allows you to more easily find your mouse in a widescreen or a multi-monitor setup.

With Union you will need to draw less SVG assets (if at all), and when updating/modifying a theme, you only need to change CSS variables, instead of trying to manually sync together C++/QML/SVG.

Kuvantum is an unofficial community theme engine, similar to Qtcurve.

I hate this comic so fucking much. Yeah maybe some things are redundant, but often enough people just whip it out anytime someone wants to make a better version of something that already exists.

Less and less. I was surprised to learn that it's user base is actually quite significantly lower than KDE. Even Hyprland, a relative newcomer, beats it pretty squarely, though these are Arch package stats so there's probably a lean towards Hyprland because of that.

Aren't most package managers specific to kde/gnome focused distro groups?
So... then... ofc the package manager yum or w/e would show KDE as most popular and apt or w/e would show gnome...
>>
>>108760210
Those are stats for Arch though, which officially supports Gnome, KDE and a few others, but has no default. Those are the packages people chose when they had the choice of which DE/WM to go with rather than receiving a default based on their distribution.
>>
>>108760262
Once you include the Ubuntu installs, GNOME will look very tall.
>>
>>108760311
That's true. I'm not really sure whether to interpret that as a point in favor of GNOME though.
It's like saying "the majority goes with GNOME only when they don't have a choice", but then again they did choose Ubuntu, so perhaps that can be considered them indirectly choosing GNOME.
It would be easier as well if we knew how many people used which distro, but I couldn't find good numbers for that quickly. Ubuntu is probably the biggest, but by how much? I've seen estimate for Arch ranging from 0.1% to nearly 20%, neither of those extremes seeming particularly likely.
I would be interested to see the figures for Debian too, which last I checked makes it pretty simple to start out with whatever DE you want (of the big ones). Maybe if any Debian users know what the equivalent of pkgstats is for Debian, they will post the numbers.
