@siina the nice part with #systemD is that you have the flexibility to add or remove things.

It's closer to a "suite" rather than one fat binary (unlike #emacs!).
- Obviously the partsbdo integrate well with each other…

But #systemd, like #Steam, didn't win because they are excellent, but because competition either doesn't exist or is kinda incompetent to a degree…

Same with #Xorg: #Wayland is the most mature option and #Xlibre is run by some absolutely abrasive person destroying any goodwill and legitimate argument the once had with their words and actions.

Neste vídeo, eu mostro o Fobia – St. Dinfna Hotel rodando em Full HD, travado em 30 FPS, na RX 550 de 4 GB, comparando o desempenho entre Debian 13 e Linux Mint 22.3, lado a lado.

O teste foi feito usando o mesmo hardware e as mesmas configurações dentro do jogo.

XLibre 4d ago

Another user switched to #XLibre: "Finally took the dive and just installed on my desktop running #VoidLinux a few hours ago. Love it so far! … #Xorg had some glitchy problem with my old GPU, which seems to be liberated now."

It seems to me the the bit about #Plasma #KDE in the #FreeBSD #Handbook Chapter 8. Desktop Environments could use some better phrasing:

To install the Plasma desktop with a basic set of KDE Applications, execute: pkg install kde
Additional KDE Applications are tagged with the kde-applications category.
To install a minimal Plasma desktop, execute: pkg install plasma6-plasma.
This installation is really minimal. The Konsole terminal emulator must be installed separately executing: pkg install konsole.
One would suspect that the plasma6-plasma option should be the minimal desktop session for the desktop environment. However, when I try it in a VM running 15.0-RELEASE-p4 with base #Xorg and #CWM installed, the pkg instak kde reported 541 new packages were to be downloaded and installed, while pkg install plasma6-plasma reported 572.

@passthejoe was your use of sysutils/desktop-installer for X.Org, or for Wayland?

FreshPorts -- sysutils/desktop-installer: Quickly configure a FreeBSD desktop system

Desktop-installer is a post-install script to assist in setting up a FreeBSD desktop system using any of the mainstream desktop systems. It automatically installs essential software and configures subsystems such as dbus, CUPS, etc. for typical use.

hot take, I feel xorg is here to stay despite its supposed technical flaws. i don't buy the propoganda that FDO is trying to "kill" it. they still maintain it, albeit with no new features, plenty of projects such as xenocara work with them and upstream fixes as need be. also, x11 is pretty dang featureful as it is tbh. besides, that enrico weigelt guy is certainly not "saving" anything considering his development track record.
