maruos VS WPF

It seems it is possible to connect a docking bar to the PinePhone but I cannot find what happens next? Is it possible to show on a screen what is displayed on my phone or is it dual screen or can I choose? I love the concepts behind maruOs but I think the project is dead.

>> So what exactly are “consumers” clamoring for that are not currently being delivered?

Until other choices are available, people tend to accept the default or keep on doing what was done in the past.

There is a segment of consumers that would like choices beyond Apple and Google mobile operating systems:

Personally, I would like to see more "convergence" devices that let the little computer I carry around with me be anything I want it to be: a programmable general purpose computer, a streaming media server, or whatever else I want.

There are some projects that offer such functionality, but most require expert knowledge to setup or are not very widely-adopted or not very mature:

Walled gardens are not where innovation happens because the gardeners uproot whatever does not meet their vision.

Depending on what the model is, you could try Maru https://maruos.com/

I just found MaruOS. It appears to be exactly what I was looking for. They are a little small apparently. They support only Nexus and Pixel phones and one Samsung's device. Hopefully they'll have a bright future.

So someone in this subreddit told me about Maru OS and that really got me dreaming about using my phone as a desktop computer when connected to a monitor. The Astro Slide with its dual boot capabilities and its two USB-C ports would be ideal for that I think.

My next phone will definitely be supported by https://maruos.com/ :)

MaruOS was a project that tried this for a bunch of phones.

Gear up, folks, and test drive this fresh-off-the-lab feature. And should you stumble upon any glitches along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. Got a bug to report or feedback to give? Send them directly to our dotnet/wpf repository. We’re eager to hear from you, because together, we’re only going to make the experience even better!

I did some research and did not find any proof of the EOL on WPF. In fact, Microsoft just updated the roadmap on WPF 2 months ago.

There’s still room for improvement though. I should add, WPF on .NET Core consumes a lot of memory, due to a memory leak. It was logged by our COO as one of our users was doing a comparison.

have you tried this?

WPF: Licencia MIT.

Some added context: It's a side effect of how variable rendering works in UI library we use. There's currently sadly no way how to disable VRR compatibility, which causes the issue you describe unless you tell your GPU to not treat Playnite as VRR compatible. Some more info here.

WPF is definitely not dead. It may not be the latest shiny thing, but it works, it is maintained (judging by https://github.com/dotnet/wpf or https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/wpf-on-dotnet-7/), and it is fully and officially supported on the modern .NET platform.

This article only sights a video stream. I think part of the problem with the glacial pace of development is reliance on manual testing. See this comment:

> Our primary goal is to ensure reduced turn-around-times for new PRs as well as clear the pending backlog of existing PRs. To that end, we are working on putting appropriate automation in place to reduce the dependency on manual testing as much as we can.

If you look at the history of this file you can over the years tests have been always been in the backlog.

As for “where projects go to die”, they have 3 features planned for this year: Windows 11 Theming, a new type of folder browser, and null ability annotations. And they say they don’t think they can do them all. Maybe I’m underestimating, but that’s not a lot.
