I would argue that the pacing of a Dota match is one of the many things that makes it better than League.

I find league is insanely repetitive and has very little room for player creativity or expression beyond "I can hit my skill shots". It's just rote exercise that you can map out to the minute. Dota gives heroes and players space to breathe and flexibility to play in multiple ways, not to mention having a balance team that actually wants to balance the game, not just sell the latest champions.

Dota has always been a drastically better game, I see this as an absolute win for Linux. League is cancer.

Foot if you're on Wayland, alacritty if you're not.

Does it suck? KDE also has screenshotting implemented. It makes sense that your window manager should manage your windows, which includes being in charge of what can see what. Letting any app screenshot your entire monitor is not secure.

It seems very well specified to me, just developers have leaned on X's insecurity for years to let them just reach across application boundaries freely. That's addressed by Wayland, but it's obviously a breaking change that requires new ways of transferring information between apps with oversight from the system, instead of X where all apps could just freely spy on each other. Things breaking and being complex to reimplement is the cost of doing it right.

Ironic that your main complaint about vim would have been solved by switching to Neovim -- the weaknesses of vimscript are one of the main reasons Neovim was created, I believe, and it supports Lua as an alternate config language.

I appreciate KDE for being a comprehensive toolbox that will let just about anyone craft the mouse-driven GUI of their dreams given enough time and effort. I appreciate GNOME for its bold and unified vision, which isn't afraid to cull features or embrace innovation.

In what sense do you mean "faster" though? If you mean more performant, I haven't experienced that -- both desktops are extremely responsive.

I don't think there is another agreed upon name? Regardless the idea shouldn't be attacked because it's poorly named.

?

It wasn't pseudoscience, it was just given a colonial-centric name that reinforces the view of uncontacted or even just aboriginal peoples as "savage" or "uncivilized". The described phenomenon is a real thing.
