#FOSDEM: While efficient video playback has long been possible in the embedded #Linux world, desktop applications have been lagging behind. Here's a look at the state of video offloading on the Linux desktop, by Robert Mader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMCMZwAiw2w&list=PLZjq3una5SrCAdJiHl9FyE6GLpekJ66Mx&index=2 #GStreamer #GTK #Chromium

@fedora Gosh that's sweet. Our posting is as slow as our release cycle, but here's a belated poem:

Roses are red
Fedoras are blue
We couldn't exist
Without all that you do

You're the best, really.

"Wayland and X.org are both part of freedesktop. Whatever maintenance is still happening on X.org is mostly being done by people who primarily work on Wayland. There isn't some kind of holy war going on between The Wayland Developers who want to kill X.org, and The X.org Developers who believe it is great and want to keep it. They're nearly all the same people, and they all want X.org to die."

Last Friday, I attended the OpenJDK Committers' Workshop (https://openjdk.org/workshop) and I liked it. So many smart developers talking about how to make OpenJDK even better. Without knowing, it would be hard to guess who works for what company. Very different from meetings where company product marketing is always present. I love the passion the OpenJDK devs put in their work. Probably one of the reasons why Java is still so great. Cut the crap/hype and make things better.

My new favorite correction.

If you have one of the 240,000,000 PCs destined to be e-waste¹ by the superficial requirements for Windows 11, give Endless OS a try!

Endless OS is the free, user-friendly PC OS packed with educational tools, games, self-guided learning resources, and more—and it all works offline.

It has a growing ecosystem of thousands of indie and big-name apps thanks to Flathub²

A very long-term Flathub initiative @razze and I have been working on is finally starting to ship! As of today, developers can log into Flathub and see the metadata quality ratings for their apps.

Soon we'll start rolling out curated banners for the home page, as the first part of actual app curation on Flathub! Exciting times ✨️

My personal vision with all of this is to see #wayland desktop technologies not only catching up with what other OSs offer, but becoming leading players - just like what other FLOSS projects already archived (or are in the process of becoming) in their areas. I'm thinking of #mesa, #pipewire, #gstreamer, #systemd, the kernel of course, and many others.
