No, apps are free to use client side cursor decorations if they want to. Games typically do for their custom cursors. Gnome may want to do this, I don’t know.

Also, this protocol is currently only supported in GTK4. Wayland clients using GTK3 don’t have access to it. Chromium uses GTK3 but they added support for it outside of GTK. I don’t think Firefox supports it.

This protocol lets Wayland client to ask the compositor to draw the cursor rather than the Wayland client drawing the cursor itself.

Seems like Mutter merged this support a week ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3668

GTK3->GTK4 should be easier than GTK2->GTK3.

Outreachy does internships for open source stuff. It seems like this redesigned page was an internship and this project is being hosted on a subdomain of debian until it's finalized.

This blog post is also on Planet Debian: https://dev.to/0xfaker/re-styling-debians-download-page-3lmm

This is part of that endeavor. Rather than doing their tiling stuff at app launch time, they want to handle the tiling more dynamically.

This is so much nicer.

Before I had so much difficulty trying to find the exact ISO I wanted.

I prefer centered because it’s more consistent. Before the window even appears, I center my mouse so that I can move it where I want it.

The frog color management protocol is based on the upstream protocol. They used an experimental version to bring the feature to Steam Deck faster.

Though Frog did do a good job with pushing FIFO forward.

Apple has decided to eliminate the crease at all costs, regardless of price

Apple Vision Pro V2

The display crease has been one of the biggest challenges in foldable technology

My understanding is that the crease is basically a non issue. You can only see it if you look at your phone in a specific way. And for most applications, you’re not running your finger over it.

Are you sure about that? KDE has a feature that lets Xwayland apps snoop if certain keys are pressed, but Gnome does not.

Apps need to add support for the new portal system. Chromium is adding (or added?) support, so Discord may implement it once they use an Electron version with support.

If you’re using KDE, you can tell Discord to use X11 and use KDE’s feature to let X11 apps snoop on key presses.

Already merged there some time ago.

Yes, it was granted a freeze exemption.
