Status of elementrary 7 for Raspberry Pi?
Cool. My goal in asking is to find out if there's anything I should know before trying to update the build script myself.. This is my first time trying to build an OS, so if I'm getting in way over my head, I'd definitely like to know that in advance.

Elementary OS 7
From what I understand, OSTree-based images[0] are in progress and will remediate this.

can I resell Raspberry Pi's with eOS on them?
elementaryOS is licensed under GPLv3. You may absolutely sell hardware that comes with it pre-installed, so long as any modifications you have made to the software are also released under GPLv3. There are non-commercial licenses, but they are not free and open source.

Can't get 2020 MacBook Pro to boot ElementaryOS from an etched usb drive. Getting stuck after the kernel initializes but before the OS launches.
Sounds like it's probably a bug that you'll wanna report to the eOS developers. They prefer getting those on their GitHub Issues page if you have a GitHub account

Pipewire and elementary 7
I really hope it does. I have a discussion open here: https://github.com/elementary/os/discussions/552

What is the possibility of an OSTREE type image
with elementary OS working on an OSTREE image what is the possibility of linux mint also joining in and also working on an OSTREE image for their distro?

Jólnir installer fails to load, kicks to login prompt. I haven't installed it or set a password yet...
I’m not sure tbh. I generally stay away from Nvidia because of issues like this. It’s probably worth opening a new issue report and maybe someone else has access to this hardware https://github.com/elementary/os

Elementary OS 6.1
Surprising enough (expectations set by decades of Debian/Ubuntu) that I had to look it up, but it's true https://github.com/elementary/os/wiki/Release-Upgrades#perfo...

Show HN: Chrome Reaper
While I believe Memory Saver was a great improvement, it only works if the tab is hidden or the window minimized. I recently learned the required state is not triggered if the tab is open but on another virtual desktop. At least this is the case with many of not all Linux window managers. Some of the many discussion threads on the topic:

Firefox 121 defaults to Wayland on Linux
> This is very true, and unfortunately there are very few people working on linux accessibility (including not me! I am part of the problem!).
Accessibility work itself ironically suffers from an accessibility problem. I brought up i3wm above, the issue for that is pretty illuminating: https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/3393
It's not that the devs are saying "this doesn't matter", the devs behind one of the most popular tiling window managers in the X11 ecosystem are saying, "this does matter, but we don't know how to fix it. We don't know what changes we'd need to make to get Orca working."
It's a really fundamental breakdown that's kind of a tragedy because I honestly believe that if accessibility communities were more heavily baked into testing and development in Linux and if this wasn't treated like two separate worlds, it would be better for everyone -- fixing accessibility concerns very often improves interfaces across the board and makes them more powerful.
But... how do you bridge that gap? I don't really know, I tried looking into Orca to see what would need to happen here and bounced off of it pretty hard, it's not a very approachable tech stack and there aren't tutorials or getting started guides. And on the other side of the issue I can preach about needing accessibility input during interface design, but I'm not in a position to give specific advice because I don't use screenreaders or alternate control schemes and I don't know what the biggest problems are.
The people who need to be involved in that process can't get involved because there's a tech barrier in place even for technically inclined people, and because the underlying software locks them out from the start. i3wm isn't ever going to get someone who's intimately familiar with Orca to jump into the conversation because the people who need to use Orca can't use i3wm. So that leaves the people who can address that tech barrier, but they don't know what to do or how to approach the problem because of the lack of involvement and because the communities are isolated from each other. So it's a chicken-and-egg problem and I don't know how to solve it.

"We understand" ;)
This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

what machines have you used for development, and what do you prefer?
I use MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) with Manjaro as OS using i3 as a window manager. It isn't perfect, but I'm thrilled with it. I have been a Mac OS user for the last 15 years and wouldn't change what I have now for a Mac OS because I don't need more than what I'm using for development.

The future of /r/i3wm
Even though, we have moved the official i3 support channel to GitHub discussions, i3's biggest community is still on reddit and if things continue like that there is going to be a lot of helpful content on an increasingly closed platform.
