And Wayland

I wonder when the year of people shut up about systemd will be

I meant what I wrote, but couldn't think of a better way to word it 😅

I'm focusing more on the community building and advancing software parts of the work they did/do. Some products are in a pretty good state, but that's not the case for others.

I don't have concerns about shipping, more about the community building and support aspect of their products.

If you're happy with a product's current state then fine, but if not you're pretty much on your own.

I wouldn't; perfectly placed mistake?

Certainly feels like it and I personally wouldn't buy anything from them at the moment.

Edit: would -> wouldn't

Just installing applications is pretty easy though.

 yaml

    
---
- hosts: localhost
  become: yes
  tasks:
    - name: Install required software
      dnf:
        state: latest
        name:
          - firefox
          - telegram
          - calibre

  

ansible-playbook install.yml

Something like that (untested)

Various mildly understandable to braindead reasons

• "it doesn't work"
• "breaks my workflow"
• "Xorg is better"
• "Nvidia"
• "no reason to use it"
• "being pushed by IBM"
• "no SSH forwarding"
• "has taken too long to get to current state"
• "when I last tried it 5 years ago it didn't work"

Anytime I see a Phoronix article (very loosely) about systemd or Wayland I fill my insults bingo card.

It takes effort and knowledge to make good contributions, this app is just a tool to do that.

I can only say I myself try to make valuable contributions, some other people might care less.

I successfully used Every Door during my holidays to contribute

They promised one years ago, but never delivered. My main reason for supporting Steam even over GOG.

Boox doesn't share kernel sources for their devices, so it's basically impossible to get Android updates when they stop supporting it.

As the news says, it's a breaking change for users of local repo with specific setups.

Please make sure to implement democracy first, we have enough issues with dictatorships and oligopolies already.

BYOA - Bring your own Adventure

I'm not a kernel dev, but I've read often enough that there are some places where "everything is a file" somewhat breaks down on Unix. (I think /proc and some /dev)

For an "absolutely everything is a file" system have a look at plan9, it was the intended successor to Unix, but then that got popular while plan9 stayed a research project.

Are you sure you want pipewire and pulseaudio installed and trying to run?

Maybe replace pulseaudio with pipewire-pulse, unless I'm missing something from your post.

Arch Linux Mint is a great example of the Linux desktop ecosystem that is a very good example of the Linux ecosystem that is a very good example of the Linux ecosystem...
