They're doing the code and releasing the patches, and they largely capitulated on whatever the EGLStreams issue was supposed to be about, they are leading in what everyone involved seems to agree is "the right direction" and the linux community still can't find their way to "yes". At some point you have to start looking at it as not being entirely NVIDIA's fault - "fuck you, NVIDIA" is no longer an expression of how difficult they are to work with, but rather a generalized expression of hostility from the linux community over perceived historical slights etc.

Like, if there's some big history of warfare between IBM and the kernel team, are you just going to reject any patch coming from IBM because you don't like the company, even when it's generally agreed that the patch is generally right and going in the consensus direction, just because you don't like the name on the signoff? That seems to be where the linux community is at these days.

The whole "fuck you, nvidia!" thing has always been noxious, that's an example of linus's personal toxicity that a certain segment of the linux community has eagerly celebrated. At best it is a thought-terminating cliche that contributes nothing and drags down the debate, and at worst it's given covering-fire for that segment to act out in their own immature, negative ways, to the detriment of the users.

It's not a good look, it's just immature, and at this point it's practically expected from the kernel team. Look who's in charge. And it's not just linus, Greg KH seems pretty bad too, from a casual observer every time I see his name come up it's some childish troublemaking like the symbols-relicensing warfare thing. He's personally made my life worse on multiple occasions, breaking shit that is working for reasons I don't really care about. And I know people think it's for a good cause, but at the end of the day users don't really care about that shit.

The BSD/Unix community is generally a lot more adult and mature, and tbh avoiding linux hi-jinx is a great reason to go with a macbook these days. It doesn't have to be this way, the personality-driven shit doesn't exist in most other spaces and they are better for it. The Linux kernel team is almost uniquely bad about this, and it's largely due to poor leadership and toxic individuals at the top that then bleeds into these adjacent spaces and venues. The wayland people feel empowered to act out when the head honcho publically tells a major partner to go fuck themselves, and so on.

It kinda is what it is - as long as there are children at the helm, there are gonna be issues in linux-land.

- open a new Chrome window

- snap the new window to fill half the screen by dragging it to either left or right edge of the screen

- result: solitaire-like window glitches

- if I resize the window a bit before snapping it, it works.

I haven't seen this glitch on any other app.
