Does anybody know how to set a window always on bottom in rust gtk4? set_type_hint() does not exist.

    Any time you point out any flaw in linux the fanboys come out to have a screech and tell you how its all your fault actually. I’ve learned you just gotta ignore them.

      If’s FOSS, don’t cry about it, implement the feature the way you think is best; just like every one else.

        it will be refused in the name of security. Which is notreally a good argument. “it rather involved being on the other side of that airtight hatchway” type of thing

          That’s how FOSS works. Good ideas get adopted, bad ideas lose adoption. Even I dropped Gnome because of their bike shedding. This is the way.

              “Everybody’s adopting other solutions. Our idea must be bad. Let’s consider other other solutions and decide if we want to continue with our current implementation.” /FTFY

                everyone’s adopting it because they’re forced to. And shut up with your “but you can use X”, some distros literally plan to drop support for it entirely.

        It is a design decision to have it implemented by each compositor. which means each one will implement it differently. Currently, the gtk4 layer shell supports some, like sway and hyperland, but not others, like gnome

            Obviously, I can’t create the entire universe by my own, adding features in the way I see fit depends also on what others create. In this case, the app won’t be cross-platform, and users will complain when it doesn’t work properly on their distro. So I don’t see the issue with me complaining a bit as well.

          You got me. Average FOSS user here. Be the change you want to see or make the changes you want to see. Stop whining and complaining. Pretty simple.

          You have the opportunity to be the change you want to see or make the change you want to see. Whining and crying about it doesn’t help anybody. It’s time you learned that.
