All is well 🙏

mata_aimasho,

@markybuns did you have fun?

@mata_aimasho It was a ride, just made me appreciate kde even more (and hate gnome even more)

mata_aimasho,

@markybuns Yeah, old gnome was cool. current day gnome is not.

Maybe you should try Cinnamon instead though. That's the main GTK desktop that's actually doable for me.

@mata_aimasho I tried to like cinnamon but I just can't, it just feels like a slightly better xfce with unsatisfying window animations

mata_aimasho,

@markybuns The sounds kinda enhance them for me, but they don't come enabled (of course).

Still, all window animations are unsatisfying here because my old integrated Intel GPU cannot render them quick enough to give me a full framerate. If I make them too quick it can't catch up and I get one or two frames.

So I wouldn't know. I've no idea what the animations should look like.

@mata_aimasho Yeah I've only ever used integrated graphics and it always feels sluggish to me, the animations are either unoptimised or it's just what they look like. I don't have this problem at all in Plasma nor did I have in gnome

mata_aimasho,

@markybuns Oh, well I did say old. Drivers for this thing have no Vulkan support.

@mata_aimasho You could give plasma or lxqt with wayfire a try, I think in the world of Linux there's no such thing as old/weak hardware

mata_aimasho,

@markybuns Well yeah, but my requirement is a GPU that can run graphics from today.

And I'm actually running Plasma, it runs fine.

The bottleneck is, ironically, me abusing my disk I/O. When a demanding task starts, Plasma hangs up until I SSH into the system and kill the offending processes (or until they finish up their task). Even KWin hangs up.

And about Wayfire: When an app hangs up on Wayland it is killed after waiting only a few seconds. Wayland developers are extremely insistent that this is not going to change. Someone who has this kind of I/O and GPU bottleneck can NOT run heavy apps on Wayland.

When I do try to run Wayland, usually I end up getting my apps killed, and often the whole session got killed. Wayland asks devs to remake their app so that the UI runs in another process, but it doesn't help when it's a bottleneck causing it as the UI will freeze anyway.

I actually cannot fix this until my PC gets a couple of expensive upgrades I currently can't afford, so my PC is effectively too obsolete for Wayland.

@RustyCrab @mischievoustomato @markybuns @mata_aimasho Wayland works on my Thinkpad and kde funny enough but it's not a novideo gpu
