Sta per uscire #Cosmic desktop di #PopOS, oggi dovrebbe arrivare la beta

Due to a recent but crippling addiction to buying old Macbook Airs, my son's 'new' laptop is an 11" 2014 model, running the #PopOS / #Cosmic alpha. Some mean Python is going to be written in this bad boy, I just know it.

Dream come true yesterday!

I got to talk to a packed room of normal (non technical people) at the local library about how important it is to upcycle computers, and how Linux can save the world in this respect.

Thanks to all the people who showed up, supported, donated laptops and listened. We even gave away 9 free laptops at the event.

Library said it was the most well attended event they've had! So will be many more of these in the future. :)

I didn’t plan to write about Wayland yet. But Xorg is dying — not eventually, but now. GNOME’s dropping X11 support. RHEL already removed it. Ubuntu and Fedora are next. And if you rely on accessibility, you don’t get to wait this one out.
So here’s Post 4 of I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back.
I’m using Wayland now. Primarily. Not because I love it. Because the fallback is disappearing, and I want to be there helping fix what comes next. GNOME with Orca actually works. KDE and COSMIC are making progress. I’ve talked to the people involved. They care.
But a lot is broken.
MATE — the desktop most blind users preferred — isn’t on Wayland.
ocrdesktop doesn’t work. xdotool is gone.
wlroots compositors still don’t reliably support Orca’s keybindings, especially on laptops.
This isn’t GNOME’s fault. They’re the only reason accessibility on Wayland works at all.
But the old excuses are gone. “Just use Xorg” isn’t going to be an option much longer.
So yeah. I’m a Wayland shill now. Because I’m using it. Because I have to.
And I want to make sure we’re not excluded from what comes next.
