I see. I wonder, does any of this have issues on Wayland? I try to use it wherever I can for its security benefits, though I know it’s not as flexible as X11 in some cases.
Also, I don’t know where that downvote came from, but it wasn’t me. I gave you an updoot to bring you back above 0.
Is it theoretically possible for an on-screen keyboard to not need raw device access?
I’ve been wanting a better on-screen keyboard for my TV gaming box. The Steam on-screen keyboard gets cut off at the edges of the screen when I run KDE at 1.25x DPI scale.
Is there any chance that this would work as a Flatpak? The machine I want to use this on runs Bazzite, though it’d be helpful for running it on other distros too.
“The beauty of the AUR is that you stop waiting for developers to ‘support’ your OS. If the community wants it to work, it works. Period.”
I take issue with this statement. The AUR can be very useful, but the packages in it are maintained by volunteers, so the onus ultimately falls on those volunteers to make sure those packages keep functioning. It’s not uncommon for packages to fall out of date with upstream, and sometimes packages even end up being abandoned.
Arch is a fast-moving system, so packages for it need to be actively maintained to remain installable and functional. Flatpak packages are often volunteer efforts as well, but Flatpak at least allows packages to use specific versions of different libraries so that they can keep functioning.
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Old Slashdot term.
