Some observations on OpenMjusic Pre-Release 8.0-b.1 on LInux

OpenMusic

Hi,

I am on Fedora 42, and I have observed some behaviours on Gnome DM. I premise that my computer is a little old, ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. PRIME B360-PLUS, Intel® Core™ i3-8100 × 4, 8,0 GiB.
Using Wayland as window manager the keep listener in front option does not run, and selecting a cable into a patch it does not change its aspect. If I do the same on X Org everything runs.
Instead the Preferences window can not be resized in both WMs (but I don’t remember if it occurred also before).
I hope this can be somehow useful.

Ciao

Fabio

Dear Fabio,

Some answers here:
But let me start with a question:
Which version are we talking about?

  • By experience, the i3 chip is a little bit limit in performance.

  • I don’t use wayland but still on X11 and I avoid gnome. I would prefer something like xfce which is lighter on resources but all this are personal choices. In fact personally i use 3wm and very happy with it.

  • The Om preference window doesn’t resize. It was always meant to stay that way. However, as the preferences are growing, i am implementing an extra scroller.

However the i am curious to know more about the connection issue. But this also depends on the Om version you are using. Because i fixed this already in the next 8.0 version to com out very soon.

Please don’t hesitate to specify all this
