I mean it's totally possible in theory. Do you just mean nobody has actually written something that does this?

You have to launch an app, log in twice and then you get an annoying VNC-style remote desktop, not native windows. Also it doesn't run at all on Wayland. Apart from that it works pretty well - fast, and stuff like copy/paste works. I would just like something that is as convenient as remote X, but not dog slow.

See my edit to the post. I probably should have clarified that.

Pretty unclear if this has any actual teeth - if you don't pay it says "don't create issues" etc. but is anyone going to stop you?

But let's assume that it did stop you. I'm going to give a dissenting opinion - I don't think it's a necessarily bad idea. Phabricator had that business model for years; without paying you got zero support. No ability to open issues, etc.

My company ended up paying for support... so that we could get support. There's absolutely no way they would have paid if it was a standard license and you could just open a GitHub issue, even if the issues were ignored.

Annoying for non-corporate users though I guess.

Don't tease gossip? Either say "I'm quitting due to personal reasons" or give actual details "I'm quitting because I received ongoing abuse about being trans on X from several users and I'm fed up with it" (or whatever the reason was; I just guessed that).

Normally when I merge a PR I put the long PR message (if there is one) in the merge commit (again if there is one), rather than shitty Merge PR from patch1 that people seem to use.

You can actually change the behaviour on GitHub to be sane: https://blog.mergify.com/how-to-change-the-default-commit-message-on-github/amp/

If I'm not keeping the branch (usually PRs are not big enough to make preserving multiple commits useful) then I squash & merge which gives you the chance to edit the commit message and copy details from the PR message in.

Sorry rootless in this context means it doesn't have a big window showing the whole remote desktop, instead each remote window shows up as if it were a local window. Nothing to do with the root account. Kind of confusing, sorry!

Not rootless as far as I can tell.

VNC is horribly slow. Also hilariously insecure! I forgot about that...

But both horribly slow.

I mean, yeah probably makes sense at this point. Nobody is seriously running desktop Linux on RISC-V.

On the other hand nobody is seriously running desktop Linux on PowerPC either. Why do they support that?

Probably going to be 5 years or so until RISC-V gets to the point that you might actually want to use it for "normal" stuff.

Seems like one of the areas where Rust is least pressing, but I guess if uutils does become dominant it will be a lot easier to work on the code and add new features & tools.
