A bit of necromancy is always appreciated. I second handed some learning about Android APIs and especially rumble. It’s really scattered and for a very specific vibration you have to basically go very low and code it yourself.
Which might be why Heliboard isn’t as polished as Google Board. They might be using simpler API and Google might be using its engineering for a perfect feeling.
I hope they continue learning lessons from other OSes.
I’m feeling like you are wrong about them outright copying. Some good things can be taken from macOS and Windows. But a lot of bad things too, which is why they are thinking it through.
Please do not reduce the community effort to “cloning macOS”. It’s insulting to the people working on it… Apple doesn’t own modals or modal design.
Here there are not 20 ways of putting 3 buttons in a modal. They just happen to choose a way that will also work on mobile I guess.
Kudos for noticing this extra space which could enhance these kind of modals though.
I don’t like everything Gnome has been doing, especially with the lack of customization or the status bar. But Gnome has been my go to for 7+ years and I like where it is going. Extensions are pretty fly too 👌
You literally posted a link that shows “Read changelog here”…
Heliboard also has weird bugs such as scrubbing through text with the space not working sometimes, even duplicating letters at times. But overall it works great.
To answer your question with another question: Heliboard isn’t the same code base as GBoard, isn’t it? Which means that it might have some kinks to iron out to feel more responsive.
You can “unplug” your unique/dedicated GPU to plug it into the VM upon VM startup. But it’s a bit harder to manage. It’s an option though 👌
And much better gaming specs such as VRR, near complete HDR capabilities, … Multi monitors are better supported, more customization (albeit it’s harder to configure and get to the point you want sometimes).
It’s not just color variants of the main interface 😇
I’m thinking about switching as well for those reasons but I’m disappointed on the NixOS support of KDE. Gnome is configurable through dconf at least for a kinda NixOS way.
They ditched Coreboot?
