oskenso··on Desktop compositing latency is real
Gnome 3 is the worst at this, especially in wayland. Moving your mouse while the compositor is busy causes input to be lost as well
oskenso··on Dell’s gamble on Linux laptops has paid off
I bought an XPS 13 9360 and immediately installed linux on it and it's been running flawlessly. After shopping around for a good linux-compatible laptop, I found that nothing beat the dell in terms of support. I couldn't be happier! I love what Dell has done with their premium laptops and I hope to replace this machine with a future XPS when the time comes. (I bought the windows version because it was $50 less than the developer edition for some reason.)
oskenso··on Keyboard latency
So.. I noticed the huge latency difference between (Alt+Ctrl+F1) tty1 and Gnome with X11. After some tests using "Is it snappy?" app and my das keyboard I decided to check if Wayland had similar latency problems. After switching to Wayland I cut 40ms off my keyboard latency.. hmm. I don't know why that is but I assume there's some sort of frame buffer latency. The only thing I miss now is Plank :[
oskenso··on Inventing the Future
Some of us that deal with vision problems on a daily basis can find AR to be a useful accessibility feature. I wish more effort would be invested in accesibility like zoom and captioning.
