They deleted their mailing list so that it’s not easy to track the orphaned Fedora packages anymore or watch discussions about it.

Now they admit that they’re not particularly worried about the Corporate Desktop anymore and don’t think that business software even matters. They were ahead of their time in having a desktop-oriented Linux distribution that had an easy installer and a partitioning tool that made sense, and when you installed it you were greeted by help wizards and documentation and KDE at a time when Red Hat Linux was pretty rough stuff. In fact, their refusal to prioritize the desktop experience was basically the only reason Mandrake Linux came about. I’d say that a lot of the attitude of Red Hat just goes back to the roots of the company and hasn’t gotten any better or less toxic under IBM.

Maybe that’s why it tends to work and “needs replaced”. Since I haven’t seen any indicators that Wine will work on Wayland natively soon, there’s nothing for me to even experiment with now. It’s hard to hijack it, rewrite history, and flame people who use it. X11 was pretty much defined, written, hashed out, and developed in the time before the Red Hat “Good Old Boys” club came about. It’s there to muzzle people who came to make very reasonable requests.

The Code of Conduct isn’t there to protect people from corporate hostility, gaslighting, hate speech, and troll squads. It’s sad to see that this is a problem 20 years later, and the problem is mostly in GNOME, and distributions are even still shipping GNOME despite the toxicity from the developer side. This is juvenile and it’s exactly the difficult personality types new users would run into 20 years ago and decide that maybe Linux just wasn’t for them. They say things like “If you don’t like Fedora, just get a refund for the money you paid!”. They make you feel guilty for even asking questions. I wouldn’t mind it if they would just say “You’re not paying us and this isn’t a problem for us, so we don’t care.” but they troll you. I’ve noticed an awful lot of cases with KDE on X11 in openSUSE Leap where I’m like “How did I tolerate Fedora, GNOME, Wayland, and the rest of this forever?” This is why GNOME, GTK, and Wayland should just die already. If you’re not going to implement a feature, can you at least not attempt to rewrite history and come up with completely disingenuous lies?)

(As you can see, this behavior from Red Hat predates IBM and was toxic, completely unprofessional, and unacceptable even in 2015. There’s simply too many problems with Wayland and GNOME to cover up, so the developers resort to trolling and hate speech, and CoC threats against users and developers who come there wanting them to do stuff. And I’m sure that I’m not the only person who ran into something like this, or the problems with Fallout 4. This is another case of Wayland causing problems with actual work where no problem actually existed before under X11. So good luck getting help for this with anyone in that line of people.īut when you run foobar2000 on X11, it works. The GNOME, GTK, and Wayland people are all IBM Red Hat types who defame people who report bugs, threaten them with the CoC, and then accuse them of being on meth and cover up their own CoC violations with network bans. The author of foobar2000 doesn’t care what happens when you use Wine. Something about foobar2000 running on XWayland in GNOME causes these bugs.

When I posted my criticisms of Wayland yesterday, I didn’t include this one, simply alluding to the fact that Wayland has problems even with GNOME. Sometimes you go to drag files from Nautilus (GNOME Files) into foobar2000, and it simply crashes foobar2000. Sometimes it starts up with a black screen and you have to shut down the program and know which database file got corrupt and delete it.

It doesn’t do well at 128k and lower VBR bitrates, and it will never do as well as Opus.įoobar2000 is one of the few Windows programs I haven’t given up.īut under GNOME and Wayland, it’s quite unpredictable. About the only reliable destination format in SoundConverter is MP3, which uses LAME.īut MP3 is an aging format. One thing I’ve never liked about Linux transcoding programs, is that while we do have them, authors of software like SoundConverter (which is meant for GNOME and uses GTK) tend to use things like GStreamer, which was not intended to encode and has a rather bogus Opus encoder of its own that I do not like.

#SOUNDCONVERTER OPENSUSE INSTALL#

You can install the Free Encoder Pack, and if you want to use later binaries for the encoder, you can just grab the Windows x86-64 binary of the official encoder and stomp the. It can play, organize, but also batch transcode just about anything to just about anything else.
