@modal @openalt would you be so kind and boost this into your bubble? 🫂

@modal the Unix philosophy is about mixing-and-matching components. The combination "GNOME, Flatpak, systemd, Freedesktop, Pipewire, ModemManager, etc." imho violates that idea. It's monoculture. It would be well invested time to make sure that none of these components have subtle dependencies on each other/unduly favor each other.

@modal In other words, make sure to run a non-Gtk desktop environment for a while, run BSD for a while (not Linux), run another init system for a while (not systemd) , run XLibre (not Wayland) for a while, and so on. Everything needs to work with everything. Make sure things work well. Otherwise it is Red Hat centric spaghetti architecture.

@probono we only have a limited amount of energy and resources. If we spend of all of our effort chasing a massive amount of combinations of everything then we have not really moved in a direction that brings real benefits for the user. We are deeply admiring of the Unix philosophy and we appreciate your input and enthusiasm, but we will likely take a more focused approach.

@zoeyTheWitch @probono @modal secret combination between fossbro and chud … amazing discovery…

@[email protected] @probono @modal @zoeyTheWitch Why? Maybe we should just stop taking systemd for granted

@nyovaya @probono @zoeyTheWitch @modal why would that be what i am implying .

@[email protected] @probono @zoeyTheWitch @modal Because it sounded like you tried to say that @probono is completely wrong

@nyovaya @probono @zoeyTheWitch @modal he does not have the right reasons for disliking systemd and he is a fascist . so yea he is more than completely wrong

@rexo @[email protected] @zoeyTheWitch @modal @probono Oh I didnt notice that, but thats why I think "not completely wrong"

@[email protected] @probono @zoeyTheWitch @modal Is he well-known or did I miss something outside this thread?
