ShadowHawk posted:It's me, I'm the guy who saved XEmbed tray icon support in Unity (to make Wine apps work since some Windows programs rely on their systray for core functionality). I'm actually curious: are system tray icons in Windows just the exact same thing? A window you can draw onto by receiving WM_PAINT messages and such? Because if so, yeah, we need to figure out what to do with Wine, because XEmbed is the only way you can emulate something like that.

Suspicious Dish posted:the whose whats now? the little notification thing that pops up when selinux breaks something that says "We notice selinux broke that thing you're trying to do. if you're sure you want to do it anyway here's the selinux rule you need to set so it doesnt break in the future"

Ah yes the "please run this magic command in a scary text box as root" notification. Yes that's one of the great user interface design decisions to make your computer more friendly and approachable than ever. People are mad because we flat out stole it from iOS.

If you're curious that notification / sealert was invented by a different team. They don't listen to a drat thing we tell them in terms of user interface design. We wrote up like a 30 page Google Doc with detailed user experience studies showing them why their UI sucks, and suggestions to improve. Their response was that they shouldn't make it more user-friendly: idiots who don't know what the terminal is shouldn't be running Linux in the first place.

Because if so, yeah, we need to figure out what to do with Wine, because XEmbed is the only way you can emulate something like that. 1) Behave differently on left and right click 2) Draw something that's not a menu 3) Draw non-standard (or even non-rectangular) bits of interface on the screen without bringing up an actual window 4) Be a service launched at login 5) Be the only way to quit (or sometimes interact with at all) a running application 6) Have their own color and theming scheme independent of the system So, yeah, you need XEmbed "legacy" support for Wine. And maybe lovely Java apps.

Which is of course why we enable it by default on desktop machines. The SELinux team thinks that 1) it should be enabled everywhere, 2) everybody should learn to use it, and if you can't, you're a loving grandma who doesn't deserve to use Linux. Instead, she buys a Chromebook or an Android machine.

Suspicious Dish posted:That was an actual thing that a coworker said to my face. In Ubuntu we don't strictly have "the UX guys" or "the Security guys". Especially when that's tied to employment, you end up with people believing that they have their own little silo to protect. Worse, sometimes people think that something within another silo is somebody else's problem -- even benignly not wanting to step on other's toes. Instead, everyone with upload rights is just a developer and can upload any package to Universe or to Main+Universe. Sure, there are people who work on particular things (eg me and Wine), and there are people who even get paid to work on certain particular things (eg most Canonical staff), but part of our process and organization makes everything feel like a shared burden.

We'd love security and usability to be things everybody should be thinking of. Keep in mind, we aren't UX experts or a UX team in general. All of us are engineers who work closely with designers, and we taught ourselves to be thinking about usability all the time. Keep in mind, our team has been pushing hard to have the Fedora, Developer Experience, and Core Desktop teams merged. We even made a bit of progress towards that. My former boss quit in an attempt to reorg the whole group of Platform Engineering. Unfortunately, right at the same time my boss quit, his boss quit. It didn't go off as planned.

just installed Fedora on a laptop I had laying around that was usually running win7/8 (poorly). the installation was fast and smooth, sound works out of the box, mouse gestures work out of the box, FN-shortcuts on my keyboard work out of the box i am amazed. also, it's way faster on this than in windows.

Think of a typical Linux engineer. Opinionated, has a long beard, loves using "Crapple" and "Micro$oft". "GREEN IS MY PEPPER" is the best joke the world has ever heard. Now build a company out of 5,000 of them. It's surprising how well the dnf project is going.
