Ask them, don't ask us. They have a public interface, you can ask them to change the name to something unique.

The Start menu is React Native, but Outlook is now an Electron app.

The GNU v3 licenses all cover software patents too, and parts of FFmpeg are under those licenses too (though I guess not the code copied and subject to this takedown, which is LGPLv2.1+).

It definitely does have precedent in multiple jurisdictions. Heck, SFC just won against Vizio enforcing the GPL's terms in the US, and there have been previous wins in France and Germany.

The `-X` and `-Y` options were a mistake to integrate into `ssh(1)`, it makes an assumption that everybody uses an Athena/X11 type system. That said, you can combine waypipe with ssh to do the same thing (ie. `waypipe ssh` will give you the same effect as `ssh -X`).

Until those options are integrated into OpenSSH itself, Wayland remains in the minority.

I'm not sure this statement makes any sense.

No, it remained relevant because Ubuntu based every stack for their desktop on GNOME technologies (except the aborted Unity 8).

Over the last couple of decades, Red Hat has been their single largest supporter both in terms of providing cash and employing people to work on GNOME. Their annual reports don’t make it clear, but has this changed?

Being a major player in the Linux desktop community is what drives success for these sorts of things. And he's not there right now.

For the most part, there's a large ecosystem split between tiling window managers and everything else, and the former is super-tiny in terms of desktop developer reach.


More hardware platforms that can be supported. The potential of a brand new OpenWrt/DDWRT like project for TVs is attractive, especially for Vizio TVs (which are extremely common and their factory software is terrible).


The context here is that (1) Linux allows proprietary drivers so even if they release all the code they're required to release it probably won't include drivers that TVs need and (2) code released by embedded vendors is very low quality so you'd have to spend years cleaning it up.


Linux does not allow proprietary drivers. The fact that people do it anyway is a separate issue.


I don’t know how Linux can function on modern hardware. It requires modules in some cases like Broadcom WiFi that are proprietary.


That's firmware blobs not drivers in that case.


It is possible to start it on-demand via the command-line. That is how krdp is developed and tested. You will need to pre-authorize krdp to the portal system, though.

That's documented here: https://develop.kde.org/docs/administration/portal-permissio...


Hah, that actually works, thanks!

Is it possible to do the permission-set remotely?


If you can shell in, I don't see why not? It's a command-line thing. It's intended to also be usable for things like Ansible. If it doesn't work, please file bug reports!


KDE Plasma offers two options:

1. KRdp (preferred): a RDP server for KDE Plasma.

2. KRfb: a VNC server for KDE Plasma.

Both should be able to be configured to support your use-case. If they can't, please file bugs!
