 K900 | I'm still wondering if it makes more sense to just yeet GLX | 17:33:32 |
 Randy Eckenrode | Especially if we drop Apple GLX or move it somewhere else. | 17:33:38 |
| K900 | There's like actually nothing left that depends on it | 17:33:40 |
| K900 | That anyone even remotely cares about | 17:33:51 |
| K900 | Then you can get the kosmickrisp build to be absolutely tiny | 17:34:22 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Maybe someone was using XQuartz to run glxgears to overheat their computer to warm the room. | 17:34:22 |
 emily | that breaks the build of the actual X server, right? that's a bit sad imo | 17:34:33 |
| K900 | Not necessarily | 17:34:42 |
| K900 | We can build X without libglx | 17:34:45 |
| K900 | It just won't have glx | 17:34:51 |
| emily | well… | 17:34:58 |
| emily | that's not very useful | 17:35:00 |
| K900 | I think it might even have egl? | 17:35:05 |
| K900 | Not sure | 17:35:07 |
| emily | no, no EGL on macOS. | 17:35:13 |
| Randy Eckenrode | No, just Apple GLX. | 17:35:20 |
| K900 | But also like, there's like five things that depend on it | 17:35:24 |
| K900 | In all of nixpkgs | 17:35:27 |
| K900 | Why do we even care at this point | 17:35:36 |
| Randy Eckenrode | There does seem to be some desire to get Zink working on Darwin. | 17:35:59 |
| emily | I have actually used XQuartz to run something as recently as the past couple years. admittedly I did not use the Nixpkgs version | 17:36:00 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Maybe we could build that eventually. | 17:36:08 |
| K900 | I mean zink on kosmickrisp is valuable even without GLX | 17:36:34 |
| Randy Eckenrode | I ran XQuartz several years ago to run the file manager they used in Jurassic Park. | 17:36:34 |
| emily | admittedly the last time I had to do remoting of Linux GUI apps I used xpra | 17:36:40 |
| K900 | Because it's better GL support than Apple has | 17:36:41 |
| emily | though xpra on macOS is kind of crap too | 17:36:45 |
| K900 | But that's a VERY DIFFERENT THING | 17:36:46 |
| emily | I suppose once GTK and Qt drop X11 support the remoting use case will disappear 🤪 | 17:37:18 |
| emily | maybe we'll just get waypipe working on macOS. | 17:37:29 |
