Does anybody know how to set a window always on bottom in rust gtk4? set_type_hint() does not exist.
Linux gives users the freedom to keep using x11 :p
They are even free to thanklessly maintain X11 for all the other contrarian fossils, because the developers sure aren't doing it anymore.
There's nothing contrarian in using software that works and and fulfills all your needs.
Wayland doesn't work for me, I rely on a tablet in lieu of a mouse and under Wayland it's unusable. I tried hard
Under an X session it behaves flawlessly
Did you try it that with Gnome? I heard that some input methods suffered with the wayland transition because mutter makes some weird choices. From my personal experience, libinput works great with a wacom tablet, so I'm assuming you ran into an issue with a specific DE.
Indeed it works almost flawlessly with Gnome. I am keeping this for now thanks
To be fair… XLibre is doing that.
Quote from their readme:
It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies.
Together we'll make X great again!
I'll pass.
Likewise, but claiming no-one has forked Xorg is dishonest, IMO.
Missing feature != Inability to customize
missing feature that used to be there but has been removed in the name of protecting me from myself, is an inability to customize.
You could just use X11
"these new cars have a teeny tiny fuel tank with a tiny range! They used to have a bigger tank!"
"Drive an old car"
In this case the new car is objectively inferior, and I can't buy a new old car anymore.
When something complains about very real problems due to missing functionality, the proper answer isn't "fuck you, use the old stuff, or stop yearning for the functionality that te intentionally crippled"
Wayland is still too new for a lot of complex functionality. It works well enough for the vast majority of use cases, but X11 is still superior in terms of functionality. But like many systems, control means higher learning curve due to various quirks and complex configurations.
You'll have to look into GTK's Layer Shell implementation.
Look at the source of Eww. It's written in Rust, it uses GTK (or GDK?), and it has a config option that opens the windows in the bottom layer.
I see this as a feature honestly. Screw apps who try to be different with their special little windows
I know this is pedantic but Linux does give users the free to do this. They just need to add a patch to their desktop and patch their app to make it so.
Can't you still script it with wmctrl and xdotool?
Hint: :q!
