   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.

     @pimeys i kind of like wayland i just wish the people who work on it were less political and cared more about just getting a working desktop.

     @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

     @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.

     Until that, I’m sticking with AMD.
