I am most intrigued by this concept of frustrated users crowdfunding pledges for bug bounties that bother them

New hardware manufacturer quality metric: Number of frustrated user pledges per time since market introduction.

Would a lot of people wanting to use the hardware but the drivers sucking be indicative of a good company or a bad company?

[-] Tempy@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

A bad company. Because they should be delivering a holistic product. But their hardware side knows their shit at least.

Idk it sets a dangerous precedent for manufacturers

This is not a new phenomenon.

Nice.

Maybe I should start one so that Rustdesk / anydesk connections from Debian 12 don't scroll uncontrollably for a second after I remove my two fingers or edge scroll finger from my track pad.

Trying various things like turning off acceleration, inertia, fiddling with xinput etc, to no avail.

Is it a Wayland issue?

[-] BagOfHeavyStones@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago

I don't think so. I'm running Gnome / X11 I think. Wayland doesn't pass the hotkeys to the guests so I don't use it.

It would be better to support Hoptodesk instead then
