Semperverus

I was gonna say the same thing. Everything on this plate is extremely common in restrictive autism diets. Its just missing french fries.

EDIT: This meme kind of explains it perfectly (and it applies to adults too):

That’s the thing though, there are alternatives now. They just take more discovery and setup time than most are used to.

If it’s not insisting, it’s demanding, which is worse.

There are many tools now that replace X11 behavior. If Wayland doesn’t “do what they need”, at this point there’s a strong chance they have not put in any effort into making it work for them.

For desktop forwarding there’s waypipe.

For tablet users, KDE (And probably gnome) have pretty good tablet support at this point.

For artists, KDE JUST got much better color calibration and HDR support.

For gamers, WINE now has an experimental Wayland-native mode, and barring that we have Gamescope to make it behave semi-native (so this one is more of a future-ish solution that you can use now).

Screen recording mostly just works with pipewire and almost everything supports it now including Discord.

Etc.

Those users can stick with the last version of KDE or GNOME that supports X11. They’re insisting on using unmaintained software already, so it shouldn’t be much of a leap to do the same with the DE.

It’s really not fair to demand that people building your DE for free maintain two vastly different rendering stacks when they clearly don’t want to.

You can say it in as many posts as you like, that doesn’t make you right.

73% of plasma 6 installs with telemetry enabled are using Wayland

I think that the fantasy of X11 sticking around forever is sweet, but the writing is on the wall.

On what?

How do you get it to do discord and other random apps?

Are you using Pipelines in either github or another upstream source management platform? I don’t know if they have a free build plan or not, but you can have an entire pipeline that just spits out an executable for one or more platforms every time you commit to your main branch, depending on how you have compilation set up (you can have it use both a Linux and a Windows VM for different steps in the pipeline too). It can even handle publishing them to a website if youre handy with bash and/or powershell scripts (or python or JS or whatever you can call from the pipeline).

I use the Azure DevOps version at work and its amazingly useful, but very confusing to learn at first.

Looking forward to seeing your work - it’s always good to have competitors, and gpt4all is also very crashy. If you have a lead in stability, I’d definitely use yours over theirs.

Some other areas you could probably look into if you want to differentiate are:

• Getting Started experience - recommend some high quality models and update the list as time goes on. Maybe include a good default one as part of the package.

• Convenience - include a way to do what the modern chat interfaces do where asking it to do something other than text will call a different AI model built for that purpose and return the result (image generation, etc)

• Voice conversations - Can we actually talk to the dang thing?

• Assistant module - piggybacking off of the last one, can we invoke it with a wake-word or a button press and have it “always available” (similar to HomeAssistant with a Whisper plugin, but on-device).

Anyway, I wish you well in your endeavor and will keep an eye out.

EDIT: looks like the conversational bits are on your roadmap, and you do have some basic suggestions on startup.

As for voice, the OpenWhisper module might fit your project’s theme a bit closer than elevenlabs.

Bro this is Gpt4All

Its just whatever is built into copilot.

You can do a quick and dirty test by opening copilot chat and asking it something like “outline the vulnerabilities found in the following code, with the vulnerabilities listed underneath it. Outline any other issues you notice that are not listed here.” and then paste the code and the discovered vulns.

I did this recently, scared the shit out of them and they quickly found a spot to turn off and park. I think they thought I was trying to do some kind of pit maneuver to get behind them or something, when I just wanted them off my ass.

That seems to be the direction the industry is headed in. GHAzDO and competitors all seem to be converging on using AI as a force-multiplier on top of the existing solutions, and it works surprisingly well.

Having actually worked with AI in this context alongside github/azure devops advanced security, I can tell you that this is wrong. As much as we hate AI, and as much as people like to (validly) point out issues with hallucinations, overall it’s been very on-point.

I prefer the soyjak original

I wasn’t trolling, but okay. I probably should stop arguing with a bot designed to astro turf for big corporate data ownership.

Getting a little touchy are we? Try deep breaths, it helps with the anger issues 😉

Ahh there it is, I knew you’d do that.

I abide by my own lectures, I am actively putting effort into it and am 99% of the way there, which is 100% more than you.
