  • Xx-zones dbus_annotation and ext-tray get merged and implemented into kde and global shortcuts stop sucking and I’ll call it.

      I have no idea what any of those words mean and that makes me want to stick to Windows.

      • xx-zones allows windows to place themselves

        dbus_annotations allows menu items (like file, edit, etc) to be searchable by other apps

        ext-tray allows tray icons to display things other than text in their menus (like sliders or whatever)

          I feel like most people dont know and dont care what that is and i definetly dont think its stopping people from using linux.

          • xx-zones in particular is a huge deal for many very important usecases

            dbus_annotations is huge for me, but ext-tray fair enough.

            global shortcuts is also huge, plenty of people consider that mandatory.

      • Luckily you don’t need to. I didn’t know either until I read their next comment. And I’ve been using various Linux Distros for 15 years or so.

      • You absolutely don’t need to know what that means, and you don’t have to wait for it either. Those are specific things some users want on one desktop environment/window manager, and not necessary to run Linux.

        Jumping if you want to and experience it for yourself. I’ve been happily gaming on Linux for 3 years now.
