I love how well received pipewire was/is compared to the drama systemd and Wayland got.

That's because all the audio drama focused on PulseAudio.
systemd is a FANTASTIC set of tools, well integrated into the environment, and allows powerful configurations to be set very easily. Anybody arguing for the "old ways" has never had to set up a complex network environment using an interfaces file and a million other configuration tools.
I have tried several times to find a convincing answer as to why systemd bad hur dur, but I could never find one that says precisely why. I'd love it if someone could ELI5 it for me.
What ive heard is the "linux philosophy" argument. Its just doing too many things.
this comment shows how the word of mouth actually distorted the argument
its not the linux philosophy but one sentence of the unix philosophy (linux is not unix)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy
Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features"
besides being over 40 years old at this point
Ah sorry, unix not linux. I didnt think of that before, it seems so obvious that linux kernel isnt doing one thing well, it does everything ever, kind of well.
because it's not 90's shell script thus it's bloar. What is your difficulty with understanding it? /s
I had that attitude for a while but as I got used to it yeah, it's easily superior. I wouldn't go back.
Don't even mention anything about Nvidia. Basically it's just a call for an infinite flamewar between everyone and one guy
Who in the Linux community would say anything positive about NVIDIA?
Hardware is pretty awesome. Everything else, no so much.
Yeah because they refuse to work with the open source community lol. Don’t care how great their stuff is if they’re borderline openly hostile towards Linux.
CUDA is great.
Wayland + Nvidia = 💥
I can't tell if you're saying Wayland + Nvidia is da bomb, or Wayland + Nvidia will fuck your system up.
From my experience with Nvidia, it's both.
Weirdly enough, I've never been happier with Linux since I discovered Wayland with Fedora. I'm one year on my Linux journey at this point, my desktop never felt so polished. It actually feels like a competitor to Windows and MacOS now (at least for me) and yes, I use NVIDIA under Wayland
But Linus said something funny ten years ago, that means it's 100% true for everyone forever!
Basically every tech publication. In Germany heise.de is the largest publication, usually with very interesting and balanced, but the comments are deliberately hidden away. They are a place where the worst of the internet lives apparently.
