I am most intrigued by this concept of frustrated users crowdfunding pledges for bug bounties that bother them

New hardware manufacturer quality metric: Number of frustrated user pledges per time since market introduction.
Would a lot of people wanting to use the hardware but the drivers sucking be indicative of a good company or a bad company?
A bad company. Because they should be delivering a holistic product. But their hardware side knows their shit at least.
As a quality metric, "bad company". If you can differentiate between hardware product and drivers, you can separate those metrics. But usually, and for most people, using the product also means using their drivers.
Idk it sets a dangerous precedent for manufacturers
This is not a new phenomenon.
Nice.
Maybe I should start one so that Rustdesk / anydesk connections from Debian 12 don't scroll uncontrollably for a second after I remove my two fingers or edge scroll finger from my track pad.
Trying various things like turning off acceleration, inertia, fiddling with xinput etc, to no avail.
It would be better to support Hoptodesk instead then
Is it a Wayland issue?
I don't think so. I'm running Gnome / X11 I think. Wayland doesn't pass the hotkeys to the guests so I don't use it.
