Maybe because that actually stopped getting updated, and a fork continuing it exists?

I use Newpipe

Flatpak is definitely a possible solution. We will see how it will be managed in the future

To allow modern windows to run legacy applications a lot of caution is given to updating libraries or fully new ones are given while keeping the older ones. Also static builds are more common on Windows, or come bundled with a copy of the required libraries as .dll files.

  • Let's say an application requires libexample1. It works, the library is available too.
  • Eventually the application gets abandoned, but still works.
  • But eventually a libexample2 gets released that drastically changes how the library works. The program doesn't work on this version. The older release of the library then get's abandoned.
  • Distributions now start removing the package from the repositories as the older library is slowly requiring no longer supported releases of its own dependency.
  • Now application is borked

Aplication could have still worked if it came bundled with its own copy of libexample1 and of its dependencies, or was statically linked.

An example of this is Nero, a software kit for managing CD/DVD disc media. They made a build of some of their tools for Linux, meant to run on Debian 7. This builds were an experiment and got abandoned because of the very few users it had. Yet, these tools still work perfectly fine on Debian 12 despite being based on ancient libraries because it bundles all its requirements as a copy in its own proprietary blob.

I talked about caution on updating libraries on Windows. You can find many deprecated methods in any native Windows library that will likely never be removed from the library binaries, as many applications require it. The new, better and more feature rich method is given a different name instead, and is pointed out in the documentation for the older method.

Projects like FUSE are very nice for this, where an AppImave bundle of prebuilt binaries is given and can potencially not only be ran everywhere that can run FUSE but also in the future too.

On the Chinese only servers they forbsure don't allow it

We have the same choices

Internet political terminology confuses me greatly. There are so many conflicting arguments over the meaning that I have lost all understand of what I am supposed to be. In the politics of the country I live in we refer political thinking into just left or right and nothing else, so adapting is made much more complex.

This AI tools that attempt to be made "Unbiased" in the end are just fancy circlejerk machines. The likes of OpenAI 3.5 and 4 base services will likely still be the default for all people that actually use AI for anything non political.

Nobody sent a request to remove them

I tought it was a global thing.

It's very hard to find it mentioned online outside of the Italian McDonald's branch. There is a chance it might be local to my country.

Whenever I am using an X11 session or a XWayland window, there is a chance the keyboard will stop working (globally for X11, only in XWayland windows if session is Wayland) until the session is restarted.

Nothing gets written in any log, the keyboard just stops getting registered in X11/Xwayland contexts. It will happen usually after heavy operations of the keyboard (like holding a shift key, or multiple buttons get pressed repeatedly or too quickly). It happens almost every time I play videogames, and happened only once during normal typing.

Attaching an external keyboard doesn't matter, as it will have the same synthoms.

This is the only proper mention of my issue online https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=274456

I am using a ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 N580VD laptop. Running Debian 12 and KDE Plasma. This is not a faulty keyboard, as doesn't happen on Windows and in strict Wayland contexts.

EXTRA info:

I want to further add that the only keyboard that remains working in a full X11 environment is the Super key, that in KDE Plasma opens the application list (like Microsoft Windows).

If it is known, here is a not full list of applications I was using when this was happening and what are they based on:

Minecraft, Project Zomboid (Java GLFW)

League of Legends, Palworld (Windows applications under Wine/Proton)

Victoria 3, Crusader Kings 3 (Native Vulkan applications under, X11, they use XWayland on Wayland contexts)

Libreoffice, CodeBlocks (Native WxWidgets applications)

I have noticed playing Minecraft that the keyboard will stop working after releasing the key at the time it "decides to break".
