I was again reading a discussion of how evil #systemd is this morning. I guess it’s better than reading the mainstream news, but I’ve been using #linux since 1999 and systemd since Arch migrated to it, and it’s just really meh for me.
The same thing with #wayland, there’s no week without sometimes even heated discussion. I’ve been using a Wayland desktop since forever now, and it’s faster, leaner and works much better than X11 right now.
I think these heated discussions are a cycle we can’t be without in the OSS community.
@icedquinn Outside Nvidia, it really is pretty working desktop in 2024. At least with Plasma 6. Nvidia needs to get their open source drivers somehow to a reasonable state. I wish also now when they opened up their drivers, the effort with nouveau and nvk brings us a mainlined open stack, so you can just install any distro and wayland together with games will just work.
@pimeys i occasionally run it and do a speedrun to see how fast until i break it. last time it was because OBS couldn't record the screen/windows.
i'm told they figured that out but then it only worked in KDE, and maybe it works in both now. i might try it after the reinstall since i plan on installing KDE
