That's exactly what you want. DXVK is the "new" DirectX to Vulkan translation layer (that's where the name comes from), and if you disable it you will be using the DirectX translation layer from Wine which uses OpenGL
Minor nitpick: I'm pretty sure USB Video Class is not an alt mode, just a standardized interface for sending video over USB (like HID for keyboards and mice or mass storage for flash drives). Alt modes completely dump USB (except the USB 2 link which is always available) and repurpose most of USB-C's pins for a different protocol.
And there will likely be many distros that compile this server as a kernel module and package it separately, so even inclusion in the kernel doesn't necessarily save you from defaults that don't fit you well.
JavaScript. Your browser downloads and runs it automatically and the vast majority of people either don't consider it a problem at all or just accept that they can't choose what software they run on their computer. This person apparently wants to avoid websites with proprietary JavaScript if possible.
They would have to sign another contract for another 24 months to get it, nobody was getting an upgrade on the existing contract because it's just a bundle of Google services (One, YT Premium etc.) and financing on the phone. And if you don't care about the services, Google's two year financing is cheaper than this bundle.
Also looks like it's removing an important visual affordance (i.e., which areas you can click to drag the window), unless I'm misinterpreting it
The top bar has been full of buttons with no whitespace for a year or more now, that's not new (you can still drag the window using the whole bar, but it's definitely not intuitive and made me subconsciously do Win+drag to be safe many times).
This seems to be a relatively minor visual update to have the left sidebar fill the whole window - maybe they want more space for shortcuts at a given window height? No clue.
Edit: never mind, checked again and it's literally just a tiny visual update with no change to the actual content of the sidebar, but it takes some space away from the top bar.
It is well known that systemd's service management is built around cgroups, which is a Linux-only concept for now. Other OSs have their own ways to accomplish similar things, but adapting to that would require huge changes in systemd.
Am I able to run system-journal without any other systemd components running?
No, the only part of systemd project that doesn't depend on systemd core is systemd-boot. And there's also elogind, which is an independent project to lift systemd-logind out of systemd.
But honestly, I don't see the issue here. You can't use systemd's components elsewhere, but your previous complaint was the opposite - that systemd is everywhere, as if you were forced to use networkd, resolved (which pretty much no distro uses AFAIK because it's way worse than other DNS resolvers), homed, timedated etc. when you use systemd as init.
Also, I have a correction for my previous comment: systemd-journald is not an optional dependency, as it's used as a fallback if the configured log daemon fails. I've only learned after writing that comment.
I know it's hard to tell from the photo, but it's way too narrow for that. It is a part of a bike path now, and there's actually a sign on both sides of the underpass instructing cyclists to dismount because there's barely enough space for two bicycles going opposite directions to pass. So I doubt it was ever meant for anything other than pedestrians.
From this point of view is systemd disaster because it is almost everywhere in the system - boot, network, logs, dns, user/home management…
That's almost like complaining that GNU coreutils is a disaster from KISS point of view because it includes too many things in a single project - cat, grep, dd, chown, touch, sync, base64, date, env... Not quite, because coreutils is actually a single package unlike systemd.
The core systemd is big (IMHO it needs to be in order to provide good service management, and service management is a reasonable thing to include in systemd), but everything you listed are optional components. If your distro bundles them into one package, that's on them.
A lot of it is actually already required. I can't find any comprehensive list, but each new release since Android 10 (when modular components / Mainline became a thing) adds new components and makes some older ones mandatory for Google Play devices.
Nothing wrong with someone picking a non-FOSS license for their work. And it's a direct port of an existing closed-source client for Reddit, so there was never any reason to expect a different license.
It's just another option with its own pros and cons. I wouldn't pick a proprietary app if there's a FOSS one that works for me, but I'm happy others have the option to decide for themselves what they value.
I'm not defending Sync (I don't even use it, I'm more of a Slide/Infinity guy; I'm just here to see how other Reddit app ports are doing), but Lemmy is not "months old". It's been a thing since early 2019, the recent Reddit drama just gave it a massive push bringing its userbase from negligible to tiny.
It generally tries to avoid updating apps while the phone isn't charging, connected over WiFi and currently idle - I myself only charge the phone when it's running low and I pretty much never get automatic updates (I have AppNotifier installed so I do know when it happens).
From time to time I let the phone charge overnight (with an alarm set so that the adaptive charging turns on) and it always updates all the apps during the night. I'm pretty sure the two hours it takes for normal charging is just too short to reliably trigger updates.
