    I really tried to use PyInstaller and Nuitka to deploy a Python command line [1] to Windows, Mac, and Linux users. We couldn't get around some system dependencies like OpenSSL needing to be available and not broken on user machines. We ended up re-writing the whole program from Python into Go [2].

    Using Go solved so many long-tail bugs for us and just simplified the whole process of shipping code to user machines.

    The conflict probably stems from the Asahi leader having caught a bad case of Wayland Derangement Syndrome[0]. This case is particularly bad because his distro aims to give Apple hardware users FREEDOM to use an open source distro. Yet he has nothing but contempt and anger for anyone that wants freedom to use Linux the way they want, they way it was intented. E.g. allowing software to control other software, rather than being sandboxed into discreet, tightly controlled "apps". God forbid, anyone should need cross-application monitoring or time-tracking.

    Btw I just found this thread, which mentions the wlr-foreign-toplevel-management protocol I meant in my previous comment and also that they found some Gnome-specific solution. I could imagine they’d just write a Gnome extensions which provides all the data they want.
