Until any vulnerability comes along that allows someone to escalate privileges...


But then that would be the vulnerability that needs to be fixed, not this one. That's like saying it's a vulnerability that root can make systemwide changes, since there could be another vulnerability that lets users escalate to root.


Is there a reason for the use of system() here? https://github.com/pyston/pyston/blob/69b190003f14dfd2f6d276...

Seems easier to use the C functions to do this, rather than rely on system commands.


That is definitely unportable code that is not intended for anyone but developers to use.


I'm running Kubuntu on my laptop, does anyone else have the issue where KDE doesn't save grouping preferences? Every time I unplug and replug my monitors at work, I have to set my taskbar panels to not group again.


This is the main problem with KDE - it's buggy. I always have bugs with KDE popping up after weeks or months. With Gnome, I have zero bugs (except one time where I had a memory leak and it kept eating my memory).


That is why i run fvwm. They didn't implement the memory leak yet.


Have a look at Microsoft's PowerToys Display zones. It allows you to split up your monitors into zones which you can then drag windows into to make them snap. I have a few zones configured for 3 windows and 2 windows and swap between them when appropriate.


Thanks for the suggestion, however I tried them all (screen zoning /tiling apps), and found every solution wanting. I can’t remember what my particular issue was with PoewrToys, but I know I gave it a try.

The solution I have is perfect for me, so that’s not something I’m looking to resolve.

My single biggest issue are apps that consider the middle of the screen an ‘edge’. Still, the benefits outweigh the pain points for me.


Fancyzone tiling is awesome, you can override win + arrow to each zone and save the position, You can even expand the zone if you drop the window in the middle of zone which makes another layer of combination easily. It has pretty extensive fine tuning options.

I'm using it with 3 monitors with different size and dpi/scaling and can't really imagine go back to the days without it.


Have you tried the Monitor Splitting functionality from DisplayFusion (1)? I do not know of any other software capable of this. If anyone does know an alternative for this functionality let us know.

Using something like Parcel means it's usually as easy as adding parcel serve or parcel build to package.json and it handles the transpile, module resolution, bundling, tree shaking and hot reload for development.


I can imagine if they implemented something like this, you'd end up with a lot of games shipping untested Linux builds just to get reduced tax.

It'd be awesome if Valve could reward those who develop for Linux and properly support it, but it seems unlikely. At least Proton is improving regularly and is making it better in one way at least.


Good point, but still i want to believe in developers, after all if things doesn't work, they can be sanctioned, just like they get sanctioned already if they release buggy games (they get removed from the store)
