Vaush, a youtuber like Hasan. It’s commentary mostly. Often sarcastic. Sometimes he will go in depth on certain things or topics. But this is certainly wishful commentary. Not news worthy.

A combination. The hardware was woefully out of date before it launched. But for every one of us that would tolerate buggy software to tinker with it. There are thousands that can’t or won’t. Thousands NEEDED to support a project like this.

Mobile/touch interfaces under general *nix right now are 10 to 15 years behind. KDE touch is good generally. I hear decent things about GNOME too. But not to the point of early android or iOS. It will get there but there’s still a lot of pain ahead.

What I’d really like beyond the software to make use of it. Is a small compact interface for network and interaction. That you could just drop and swap compute modules in. A CM5 is still underpowered. But if it was just a drop in replacement. Where you could change out the SOC or use the SOC in a new interface package i’d be set.

Yep. The United States was one of the bigest inspirations for Nazi Germany. It goes back to the countries founding unfortunately.

Yep back in the 1930s.

Oh I have no issues with it being relevant in the same sense the Z80 68k or 6502 still being relevant. Just not part of a controlling duopoly.

Or, what if it just became irrelevant. It’s had a great run. But honestly ARM has shown plenty of versatility and power. While being licensable unlike x86. And things like riscv have similar of not better potential.

Upon better reading it absolutely was. Disregard me.

They exist yes. Go ask the average person on the street the name more than one of them. At best some might know system 76. But can they buy them at the local best buy, apple store, or micro center? Lots of places don’t have a micro center. Micro center at least sells Linux and BSD media. I haven’t been in 8 months. But for the last 30 years they haven’t sold a pre installed system. Much less best buy or apple store.

Politics are about control. When fascists are in charge. Everything is politics

I will have to see if they’re upon max or whatever it’s called now. I no longer have a cable subscription or any way to watch it like that.

I haven’t seen any of the episodes in the years. But considering the creator of the show is French. If there ever was going to be one, it would be his lol.

That and conservatives abhor thinking. They need someone or something to defer to. And LLMs can give them all sorts of moderately intelligent bullshit they’ve come to expect . From their leaders and politicians. But better and faster. With possibly even less accuracy.

More for sure if you include Darwin. Linux and BSD were largely similar for a long time. The divergence only really started the last 15-20 years.

It’s interesting to imagine where BSD would be today without all the litigation on the 90s. Would BSD be where Linux is today? Or would it still be in a similar situation due to it’s reluctance to break with system V traditions.

X11 is a display server. Wayland is a presentation layer. Different goals. I have run graphical multi-seat systems using x11. Something like that will never be possible in the same way for Wayland because it is out of the design scope

Oh absolutely. I said as much an earlier post they will coexist even if Wayland will be the default for most distros.

I’m sure there’s a little column A and a little column b. The recent update to blender with Vulcan was amazing for instance. Though I don’t think under wine / proton Vulcan is the default yet. But one thing I know Wayland absolutely did help with was tearing under a few applications.

100% a system D like issue. And I get it. People tend to hate change. The old init scripts work okay back in the day. And if you’re familiar with them I can see why you wouldn’t want it to change. But system D really has brought something to the game. It’s so much easier to enable disable services. No having to dig through init scripts trying to find the one you’re looking for which might be called through a script of a script of a script.

And while I hate to see fragmentation between the Linux and BSD space. Part of that is on the BSD space. Reluctance to do anything different than the way it was always done can and will hold you back. Not that BSD has ever been fragment free on its own.

Yes for many it’s not. Lots of those issues, while actual issues. Are niche issues. Issues I’ve personally had brushes with in many cases. As someone who’s used Linux and BSD since the early 90s. I know I’m not the average user these days. And I know X had it’s own similar issues over the years. Still does. For the average person using a single screen who doesn’t steam Etc. Wayland provides a very good experience. All the edge issues will be addressed individually as they were with X.

While I would like to see BSD support as well. Part of that is on the BSD devs and community. Many who are against it. There’s lots of areas BSD is unfortunately falling behind in. But that’s not everyone else’s problem. I would love to be able to run a BSD desktop. But it simply doesn’t have the software or support I look for. And that’s okay

Respectfully, disagree. A lot of the new modern users are into gaming. Something which Wayland specifically does better. I’m not just speaking from personal experience. Yes you could game under X11 before. But it wasn’t as smooth or without issue. I 100% have seen performance increases and stability increases after switching to Wayland with regards to gaming workloads.

We’ll get there. Honestly I think in the long run Wayland will be easier to troubleshoot and maintain. But then that may just be memories of troubleshooting XFree86 back in the 90s. I still have flashbacks.
