Square Singer ( @squaresinger@feddit.de ) 31•8 months agoA consistent system settings app that actually handles all configs without requireing manual editing of config files.
falsem ( @falsem@kbin.social ) 17•8 months agoWhich DE? With KDE I don’t think I’ve ever had to edit a config file. I do recall that being an issue with Gnome; it’s been years since I’ve used it though.
Square Singer ( @squaresinger@feddit.de ) 11•8 months agoXFCE is really bad with this. KDE is much better, but still when setting up something a bit more complicated, you are quickly back to reading man pages. And man pages really aren’t great.
ddkman ( @ddkman@lemm.ee ) 29•8 months agoBasically competent support for hardware for laptops newer than 2014. Proper thunderbolt, displaylink, trackpad, fingerprint reader, facial rec support.
Senseless ( @Senseless@feddit.de ) 11•8 months agotbf more often than not displaylink just sucks, no matter the OS.
ddkman ( @ddkman@lemm.ee ) 4•8 months agoYes however on windows and mac displaylink “sucks” on linux it is practically unusable. I do agree Dlink sucks, but modern laptops have no alternatives to speak of.
intelisense ( @intelisense@lemm.ee ) 4•8 months agoMy company insists on buying these shitty Dell DisplayLink docking stations. They suck so hard they are just a stupid expensive 90W charger. Even OS X users hate them. The frustrating thing is, these things were supposed to allow us to plug our laptop in anywhere and get two working screens, keyboard and charging. The only bit that works reliably is the keyboard and mouse.
intelisense ( @intelisense@lemm.ee ) 5•8 months agoThere is a driver for it, but it bricks my OpenSuSE and stresses the CPU so much on OS X that it’s literally unusable.
lud ( @lud@lemm.ee ) 1•8 months agoI wonder why Displaylink still gets used when DP alt mode has existed for many years now.
We used Dell WD19 docks and they worked well enough. A bit buggy sometimes but a firmware update usually fixed it.
taanegl ( @taanegl@beehaw.org ) 1•8 months agoYou want open firmware, so this is not a DE problem.

danielton ( @danielton@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz ) 1•8 months agoI wish Wayland had support for multi-finger gestures. I know my System76 laptop’s trackpad supports them on Windows, but Windows is trash. I use them all the time on my Mac, but I just use a mouse on Linux.
voxel ( @vox@sopuli.xyz ) 1•8 months agowdym, gnome and kde have 1:1 3/4 finger gestures and smooth scrolling OOTB.
And it works GREAT!! much better then on win10!
ONLY under Wayland though…
if you’re using x11, you won’t get the gestures. danielton ( @danielton@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz ) 1•8 months agoI’m using the latest Plasma on Wayland on Arch and NONE of those gestures work!!
I am NOT using x11!!

thy work perfectly on both my 8 year old asus laptop and a new dell model from 2021 danielton ( @danielton@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz ) 3•8 months agoI have a System76 Kudu from 2018. I won’t buy anything from them again, honestly. It was overpriced for what it was, and the screen is awful. And it still has features that only work on Windows 10. Not at all what I expected from a company that claims to be Linux-first.
voxel ( @vox@sopuli.xyz ) 1•8 months agoafaik tuxedo laptops are great… but I don’t own any (and don’t need a new laptop rn) so idk
also maybe you need a legacy driver for your touchpad like xf86 synaptics

IverCoder ( @IverCoder@lemm.ee ) English19•8 months agoI just hope GNOME’s developers would stop being so insufferable. Lots of Wayland extensions and FreeDesktop portals unimplemented on GNOME because of the developers’ stubbornness. These also adversely affect to other DEs and WMs and Wayland’s evolution itself because other DEs would have less reasons to support a standard if one of the largest DEs themselves don’t support it.
I really love GNOME because it’s polished, but if KDE would be just as polished I will immediately switch. I know KDE works really hard to make the DE and the apps in general as polished and modern as possible, but I can’t still help but feel better at GNOME.
One example is the color scheming protocol by FreeDesktop. You can now make your apps look greenish or purplish or whatever color you want regardless of the toolkit they’re made with. Right? Well no, because the insufferable GNOME developers keep blocking the proposal because they want the colors to be hardcoded by the DE. They were offered a compromise where a DE can just offer a limited, curated color picker to the user when they go to the theming settings and allow any arbitrary color hidden behind commands, but the insufferable GNOME developers said no. And the proposal, last time I heard, is still stalled because of GNOME.
jmbmkn ( @jmbmkn@beehaw.org ) 8•8 months agoI think the reason Gnome is good is the same thing that makes them insufferable. They believe there is a right way to do things, sometimes those are things you like, sometimes they aren’t.
krash ( @krash@lemmy.ml ) 18•8 months agoI really want to have better tiling and window management in Gnome. Ubuntu has an add-on released with 23.10 that I haven’t got around to test yet. And I know that Gnome has that feature in the works, but it annoys me that Windows 11 has better management of windows with window-snapping than my DE of choice.
sapo ( @sapo@beehaw.org ) 8•8 months agoI’m not a Gnome user, but I’m geniunely hyped for the new tiling feature. If KDE doesn’t get something similar soon I might change DE just for that.
morrowind ( @morrowind@lemmy.ml ) 5•8 months agoWhich new tiling feature?
sapo ( @sapo@beehaw.org ) 18•8 months agoThe one the Gnome team is working on right now, as described here.
The basic premise of rearranging windows at an optimal size, without stretching them out to fill fractions of the screen, seems like the perfect medium between floating and tiling.
ILikeBoobies ( @ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca ) 1•8 months agoLike Material shell?
h3ndrik ( @h3ndrik@feddit.de ) 17•8 months agoTTS & STT, tightly integrated. And perhaps language translation.
andruid ( @andruid@lemmy.ml ) 6•8 months agoOh man I was playing with Mycroft and Mozzilla’s Deepspeach back in the day just for this. Though honestly a free desktop supported API that apps could integrate still seems like the best way for this. The next one would be getting Voice User Interface (VUI) support into major frameworks so it’s just native to apps built with major frame works. The latter makes more sense AFTER the desktop API starts getting standardized.

Gnome right now feels like they are polishing a door knob forever, getting all the icons and the views exactly right and clean. But not much innovation.

Ramin Honary ( @Ramin_HAL9001@lemmy.ml ) 12•8 months agoBetter Wayland support across the board, but also more Wayland compositors and window managers from which to choose. I’d make my own but I know so very little about Wayland right now and it would take me a while to learn.
Also, I have always wanted desktop environments to be more like Emacs, i.e. to be fully programmable in a Lisp language like Common Lisp or Scheme, where you can just whip-up a GUI app for anything you want in a few minutes with a few lines of code. Operating systems like that existed back in the 1970s and 80s, but went extinct when Windows and Macintosh took over everything, which were never designed to be programmable by end users. It sucks because there hasn’t been anything like it ever since.
To see what I am talking about, check out the historical preservation projects for Lisp Machines like the InterLisp Medley desktop environment or the CADR ZMacs editor.
andruid ( @andruid@lemmy.ml ) 3•8 months agoA better “desktop as an IDE” experience would be killer to me too. Even if it’s not for everyone, I think as an accelerator for FOSS designers of Linux desktop apps it would be cool
visnudeva ( @visnudeva@lemmy.ml ) 11•8 months agoI want a tiling WM like hyprland to become a full DE with all the softwares installed together at once, some presets and settings instead of config files, so I don’t loose any more time tweaking it forever.
zap_cat ( @zap_cat@kbin.social ) 5•8 months ago@visnudeva perhaps look into the EndeavorOS Sway community edition. It’s pretty sweet!
visnudeva ( @visnudeva@lemmy.ml ) 1•8 months agoWill do, i used archcraft, great distro too.
slowbyrne ( @slowbyrne@beehaw.org ) English4•8 months agoKeep an eye on Pop’s Cosmic desktop. Even the current customized gnome version is a nice tiling DE.
visnudeva ( @visnudeva@lemmy.ml ) 3•8 months agoYeah, it is gnome with tiling, it is not the same as a tiling manager.
ReakDuck ( @ReakDuck@lemmy.ml ) 3•8 months agoYeah, I tried Hyprland but never really felt alright coming from KDE because I don’t have the skill learning all config apps like eww or wayfire Panel etc.
A community workshop thing like KDE does would be even more awesome.
visnudeva ( @visnudeva@lemmy.ml ) 2•8 months agoI used hyprland for a year or so, made config files (which are on GitHub) and I loved it but it takes so much time and effort. So now I am on KDE and it is alright.
