GNU/Linux is changing drastically

Me neither for years and years. Is this really a problem?


So it isn't? I don't know shit about wayland, I don't keep up with new stuff.

The BSDs wouldn't be able to use Wayland if it depended on systemd.

Of course not, but it's on the list that shills have, like image previews in the file picker.


Wayland is cancer of its own type and breaks everything. I've seen no proof that it's pozzed botnet shitware but I am betting we will find out it is.

As have I. It doesn't make much of a difference to me overall. I just find it interesting because the basic ifconfig, route, and arp commands have been used for so long, and are now being replaced.
Indeed. Thankfully even though that will reduce options, there will still be plenty to choose from. You have GNOME, KDE, and Sway right now basically, and more will come later (I hear LXQT may be in the works?). I guess this ends up being the least harmful way to reduce fragmentation. We may not have the DOZENS of tiling WMs we had on X, but we'll have Sway and probably others. We'll also have our usual DEs. It's fragmentation-reduction without it getting to the point of the "GNOME as the only Linux GUI" conspiracy.
What DE? I hear it's pretty noticeable on XFCE if you don't use compton.
Pretty much same, although my general attitude towards it is positive. It sounds like they have admirable goals.
Not brainlet-friendly enough. Unless compiling can be made into a double click, that's not gonna happen.
I don't think these will be things that completely replace package managers. these I hear will be secondary options.
I'll look into it

It's not by itself an EEE scheme but with steam building up on loonix so the software community are going to be overwhelmed by something worse than normalfags (gamers).
Btw can somebody post the pic of the initial community invaded by external people ?
It's going to be used outrageously since a lot of repositories won't/can't integrate directly there shit into the distribution, of course there's the exception of manjaro who went full retard already.

You should also try out DragonFly if you want something innovative/new. The design really is something to behold; if there were as many users of it as CorporateBSD, we'd really get somewhere.

Honestly when it comes to innovative and new ideas, as in COMPLETELY revolutionary designs, I look more to microkernel OSes. There's nothing practical still, but with promising projects like Genode/seL4, I'm optimistic. There's also the memes that are Redox and Fuchsia

Ok, and what's this talk about it being "secure?" I feel old and confused and have no idea what these kids are talking about.

Yes, and?

I feel that some arguments are best discarded after the most cursory glance. There is an effort to replace old, tried and true, established code and especially protocols with new, opaque, enormous and ever growing shitware which will be impossible to ever comprehend, see systemd.

I don't need to locate and file new bug reports in order to "prove" to the various shills that Poetteringware isn't secure and is in fact questionable at best. The record stands for itself.

There is an obvious ongoing conspiracy to take away our precious Free software and replace it with newly-developed shitware, and in the future I see new versions of that shitware going to more and more closed models. Even if it doesn't the sheer rate of change in the code precludes any useful checkpoint and audit procedure. If the new giant software like Firefox or systemd is on a more or less rolling release cycle how can it ever be trusted?

Bring back major, yearly or less frequent releases.
