I think the real problem is wayslop not discord itself

As per this post https://forum.signalrgb.com/t/linux-support-for-signal-rgb/9445/10 SignalRgb shared a sneak peek into their upcoming linux client. While they are not committing to a timeline yet it still feels great news.

I know OpenRGB exists, but for me it felt clumsy and it just made my stuff act weird.

After hitting a peak of 5%, the percentage of computers using Linux appears to have decreased to 4.5%, a 0.81% drop from the previous month. Windows 11 also saw a surge of 0.89% in usage.

This may indicate that a significant percentage of users who jumped to Linux after the end of Windows 10 support decided to migrate to Windows 11 rather than continue on Linux. Furthermore, we had a surge of users on Windows 10, which may show that another percentage of these users decided to revert to 10.

The next few months will tell if Linux can maintain this market share it carved for itself or even increase it,

Hey everyone,

I’ve been diving deep into the early days of Linux and decided to implement a functional (albeit primitive) GUI on top of Linux 0.11. My main goal was to understand the interaction between kernel interrupts and framebuffer rendering in a vintage environment.

Technical Implementation:

VGA Driver: Developed a custom driver to handle 640x480 resolution (16-color mode) by writing directly to VGA registers.

Window Manager: Built a lightweight windowing system that supports basic movement and stacking logic.

Event Handling: Integrated PS/2 mouse support and keyboard interrupts. The GUI processes these events through a custom event loop integrated into the kernel.

Graphics Library: Implemented a primitive rendering engine for drawing pixels, lines, and rectangles directly to the frame buffer.

The Choice of 0.11:

I chose version 0.11 because its codebase is compact enough to be fully understood, yet it provides a "real" Unix-like environment. Managing memory and task switching while pushing pixels has been an incredible low-level engineering challenge.

Current Roadmap:

Optimization: Improving the redraw logic to eliminate flickering (implementing a back-buffer).

Applications: Porting a basic text editor to run within the window manager.

Kernel Stability: Refining interrupt handling for smoother mouse movement.

Note: This is an ongoing project focused on OS development and learning the fundamentals of early Linux architecture

Lol loonix devs waste their time fixing drivers for shitty old hardware that nobody uses instead of making a better nvidia gpu driver that people actually need.
