#GNOME 51 will include support for custom pointer input acceleration profiles!
This was done in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/4296 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettings-desktop-schemas/-/merge_requests/99
There is currently no plan (at least for me) to expose it in Settings, mostly due to there not currently being design mockups, but anyone is free to implement it in a separate app and submit it to Flathub if they want to do so (submit it to @TheEvilSkeleton's Refine!) :)

Here's something meant as a bit of fun:
See video attached, or:
In this very short (~20 seconds) video, I'm showing new command(s) which allows one to select some windows with the mouse (as indicated by the orange border) and then perform some operation on all of them.
This hooks into the DSL CoW already has, so it's possible to then do something like:
script {
for w in (windows where w.selected) {
winops -t #{w.id} -i
}
}Which would iconify all those windows.
This can be simplified:
winops -F 'self.selected' -i
In the video though, I'm using window-move to move the windows around. Note how the windows in the group retain their relative positions when being moved.
I'm still working on this, so not yet committed, but some version of this will likely be in 0.4
How useful this will be is still questionable...

Oh man, what did #wayland designers think when they decided that there is no way to control position of your app's windows? There are now supposed to be extensions and whatnot, but this feature should be out of the box, I have yet to see it working.

It's the first time I've installed Slackware on a laptop, I went directly to current.
With elementary OS on the other laptop, I think I can take a step back from the current #OhMyGodNotYou distro situation.

#Clav is now able to decrypt secrets and copy them to the clipboard!
Clav is a #passwordmanager compatible with #passage focused on making the use of security keys simple and secure.
Clav is free software and works on both #Wayland and #Android.Things I would to address before the first release: automatic sync, import from #passwordstore (or #gopass).

Управление окнами в Linux через libx11(X11/Xlib.h) + Утилита для управления окнами в Linux дистрибутивах X11 и wayland
В статье показана структура запросов к окнам Linux, позволяющая управлять уже запущенными окнами. Изначально утилита xdotool_xseticon была создана для динамического изменения значка окна в Astra Linux. Затем функционал утилиты был расширен для полного управления окнами и получения всей информации об окне Linux. Утилита xdotool_xseticon была протестирована в средах Wayland и X11 в Ubuntu 24.04 (KDE), в X11 Ubuntu 22.04 (KDE) и Astra Linux 1.8. Размер утилиты - 1000 строк.

Messing around with Waydog Trixie in a VM.
First impressions are positive. I like the initial welcome greeter that asks some questions about start up.

Got a #Nvidia #RTX5060Ti egpu to be able to run some local #AI inference from my laptop. Yeah, Intel's Lunar Lake NPU support is crap.
Turns out getting it to work on Linux is a pain, got it working (well nvidia-smi anyway) in the terminal but immediatly when logging in to #Wayland everything crashes and reboots. No error messages. On the latest 595 driver.
Oh well, no surprise really. Better wait for the next nvidia driver update. Things don't change 😅

Настоящие HDR фото — от съемки до просмотра
Всем привет! Это моя первая статья на Хабре. Я постарался максимально понятно изложить проблематику получения HDR изображений на современных мониторах и операционных системах. Давайте сразу проясним, что подразумевается под HDR фото, а что нет. В начале двухтысячных было модное занятие сначала фоткать высококонтрастный объект с разными экспозициями, проводить так называемый брекетинг экспозиции, а затем с помощью софта склеивать все в одно изображение. Изначальный огромный перепад яркостей сужался до обычного JPG и демонстрировался как достижение. Да, достижение было в виде сохранённых деталей в светах и тенях, но минимальный и, что самое важное, максимальный уровень яркости был далек от натуры. К тому же неизбежным следствием являлось падение общего контраста. Так вот, это не HDR. Это, назовем его, прокрустово ложе, куда надо впихнуть невпихуемое, и на выходе получить псевдо-HDR. Данная статья просвещена получению настоящего HDR, где узость диапазона уже не мешает делать высококонтрастные снимки. И не только делать, но и увидеть.

GNOME et Firefox veulent tuer le copier-coller au clic molette

Oh, great! This morning (after a #Slowroll update), @kde has finally reached feature parity between #Wayland and #X11 for me: When I try to log in, I get only black screen in both cases.
EDIT: My apologies to #KDE. This was a hanging
ssh-addprocess waiting for a password on an apparently random terminal (definitely not visible on screen). It was started bykeychain, which I added to my bash profile to work around missingssh-agentsupport in Wayland sessions. After I killed it using SSH from another computer, my desktop environment is now back to #SNAFU (freezing and crashing) behaviour. -
So far my main desktop running #KDE on #Wayland is highly unstable under #Debian #Trixie. There were always glitches under Bookworm but things are less stable than before. I suspect that the box which started life on #Jessie may have reached the end of the upgrade cycle. Just too many old things lying about, and a clean install and fresh user profile may be in order.
Systems started Bookworm and hardly used upgraded perfectly.
I will be buying a new desktop next year anyway...

More follow up on the #OrangePiRV2:
1) Standard #Cinnamon DE (#Wayland session) runs snappier than the provided #Gnome DE from Orange Pi. The provided #Chromium runs better on Cinnamon too.
2) #SuperTuxKart is very playable with some tweaks. I found that all levels play well with the graphic effects level at 2 and render resolution at 100%. For less intensive levels/tracks, bumping up the graphic levels to 6 (max) is doable if render resolution is dropped to 70%; if bumped up higher the game gets sluggish.
3) Temps ran decent under load. At the hottest I got the lil board up to 60 degrees Celsius; granted this was with a small heat sink and fan that came with an AliExpress case. Also I don’t know how accurate the software sensors are so take it with a grain of salt.
Overall things are looking up for this lil #riscv board. -
Currently playing around with two thingies at the moment:
1) Playing around with the #Cinnamon DE (plain Cinnamon, not the Ubuntu altered version) on the #OrangePiRV2. So far things are looking good AND Chromium works (at least on the #Wayland session; have not tested the #Xorg session).
2) I found a spare external ssd drive that I am testing out #GnomeOS with my main PC. It looks interesting; some decisions they made seem a bit odd...
Oh here is a cursory screenshot of the Orange Pi running Cinnamon. Also, this was written on the Orange Pi too! (see if you can spot the typos in my screenshot)

That's exactly the issue I'm having with Avorion. Great game, though. Works fine through XWayland, I'm just being weird.
