If anyone wants a good example of what happens when you put a bunch of engineers in the room without a leader just go look at the dumpster fire that is Linux desktop for the past 30 years.
Gnome requiring extensions for some basic functionality and happily breaking them are deliberate design decisions from the Gnome devs. Compare that to the kernel’s long standing “we don’t break userspace” policy. I don’t use Gnome.
Wayland has taken a long time to get where it is now, but on my laptop which only needs to deal with one 60 Hz normal DPI screen running a web browser it was ready years ago. There have been a lot of edge cases that needed to be chased down - I needed VRR in XWayland apps and the ability to turn off DPI scaling for XWayland before I could switch my desktop over.
It’s amazing how you resort to ignorant personal attacks when you hear something you don’t like.
For what it’s worth, I spent last week tuning some k8s pod affinities. It’s not that I can’t, do LDE, it’s that I’m not delusional enough to think 2fps in some games is worth fighting KDE and gnome and having every extension break every other upgrade.
The best managers, leaders, and mentors I’ve ever had started as engineers and could hold their own in a technical capacity. The second best are non technical, but value their team members and provide air cover for them to do their best work.
The worst are career middle managers that overcompensate their lack of knowledge and usefulness by spewing bullshit like this to get over their well deserved imposter syndrome.
If you’re a “leader” I can promise that your team despises you and you absolutely crush their productivity. They aren’t successful because of you, they’re successful in spite of you.
And don’t even get me started on Six Sigma Babysitters.
Sorry to burst your bubble around that imaginative story but I do k8, tf, and run a platform team for 100 or so developers. Not to say it’s Google but I can certainly hold my own.
Yeah actually, working as a senior staff eng at great job at a company I love with awesome people that pays very, very well and I didn’t even have to become a narcissistic dick slurping middle manager! Hbu?

So, are you a business owner, or do you just like the taste of shoe leather?
I mean, even Windows games that use proprietary Windows graphics APIs work pretty well on Linux for me. What are you having problems with?
Issues such as these are numerous https://lemmy.world/post/6788864
Don’t even get me started on gnome extensions breaking and wayland being half baked for a stupid long time.

Holy uninformed opinions Batman
Sure, whatever you say.

Lol anyone can be a button pusher and fail their way into management. Get over yourself my guy.
Cope.

👌👍
Lmao, you really can’t. But keep bullshitting for internet clout it’s funny.
👌 hunny
Exactly. Engineers without a businessman create the most highly detailed, open source gifts to society.
Shhh you are ruining our envy disguised as a class struggle.
I’m not envious, I want the world to be better. I want to be able to do my best work without it being wasted.
