Haha this is also the classic Linux experience. Any complaints about stuff not working properly get met with “It works for me” and “You’re doing it wrong”. Oh and don’t forget “did you submit a bug report?” and “if you don’t like it, fork it!”.

Ha yeah ASCII Nethack.

Good.

Don’t be an idiot.

That’s definitely better, but still not as good as Windows. If you click on an area that isn’t a drag source it should be raised on button down. I presume it doesn’t do that?

So, Windows has fully optimal behaviour here:

If you click on an area of the window that cannot be dragged from, it raises it on mouse-down.

If you click on an area of the window that can be dragged on, it doesn’t raise if you start a drag, otherwise it raises it on mouse-up.

That’s the desired behaviour. I agree people didn’t really explain that clearly.

I haven’t looked into it for over 20 years but as I recall it is impossible to do this with X11. I have no idea if Wayland added some kind of support for this, but I would be quite surprised given how long it took them to do screenshots.

Part of the difficulty is that you need to somehow query an app on mouse-down if it might start a drag. I have no idea how Windows does that… but… they solved it decades ago.

I wonder if they’ll ever fix this 24 year old bug…

(Note they closed it but it doesn’t sound like they actually did fix it.)

Impressive. I would imagine it is very difficult to get native performance without ISA extensions like Apple had to do for TSO and other awkward x86isms.

I would guess someone will make a RISC-V extension for that stuff eventually, though I haven’t seen anyone propose one yet.

But Wine could handle the case insensitivity though? NTFS is case sensitive.

Damn straight. I thought bcachefs was a modern filesystem? Why is it case insensitive? Huge red flag.
