<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recently I hit an unexpected roadblock to use Wayland session in KDE. Some of us have to use some Time Tracking software to "snap" our "work" (hint to the software name) and it turned out it heavily relies on different X-related command-line tools to track keypresses, active windows and stuff. I know there is an "Legacy X11 App Support" page in System Settings but it doesn't allow to expose mouse movement to such applications. And as a result I get almost zero "activity score" there. I heard this works in GNOME Wayland session (a colleague reported this works on latest Ubuntu) but I don't have any desire to poke GNOME and I am afraid Plasma X11 session will degrade up to being completely unusable in the future. I used an "xinput test-xi2 --root" (a command the software uses) to verify that it can't see mouse movements outside of any X11/XWayland apps. Is there any possibility we can receive mouse movements setting to allow X11 apps to see that everywhere?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...
<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As an avid Windows user, I feel a bit skeptical about news like this because it feels like the technical details and configurations aren't sufficiently described in order to properly evaluate the comparisons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For example, are both Windows and SteamOS using Modern Standby (https://learn.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby) when assessing battery life? If not, how does Windows fare on this gaming handheld if configured to use classic standby, assuming it is available (run "powercfg /availablesleepstates" in the CLI)? Furthermore, the ArchWiki suggests that the implementation of Modern Standby on Linux isn't as thorough as those of Windows and also macOS.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Then there are other features that only Windows has like fast startup: https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/power/system-power-states</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm not trying to diminish your efforts and those of KDE as a whole, they're extremely positive, especially since KDE has helped Wayland mature and enhance the Linux desktop UX, but I just feel disappointed in the lack of information when it comes to this stuff.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->...
