Hi all, I'm considering moving Fedora Jam from KDE Plasma to GNOME. There are multiple reasons for this, and I think part of it would be beneficial to the overall GNOME and Fedora communities as it would be a way to be helping improve the situation in GNOME that exist as the biggest objections from the community of musicians and Linux audio enthusiasts in the overall community. The biggest objections are resource usage, since the more resources that are in use, the more it tends to interfere with real-time audio processes, causing buffer overruns and/or underruns. These overruns and underruns are known as Xruns. The fewer Xruns, the better, as Xruns cause pops during recording. When doing real-time audio work, you want to have as low of latency as possible which requires as small of a buffer as possible. The goal is to have a small buffer to get minimal latency while avoiding Xruns. Unfortunately, GNOME has, since 3.0, traditionally interfered with these processes and caused Xruns. My goal, by moving Fedora Jam from Plasma to GNOME, is to help GNOME improve this situation. The other reason for switching away from Plasma is the overall negative attitude I see from Fedora KDE users and former Fedora KDE contributors. It seems to be an attitude against the progress of improving the Linux desktop for the better, and simply complaining. I know some of this attitude comes from Red Hat dropping KDE from being a desktop in REHL, among other changes. That attitude is regressive, and does nothing to help the community if all you do is complain. I could name names, but for the sake of the "Friends" foundation, I will not. Anyhow, I'd love to see a discussion about this as well as any guidance toward making this change. I know there would have to be a new kickstart along with Koji pointing toward said kickstart. I could make the kickstart, but I think I'd need Koji to look for it. Thanks and best regards, Erich ---- Erich Eickmeyer Fedora Jam _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
