I hope I can finally stop hearing about 
now, I'm tired of hearing about an old man making old man mistakes.
Now how do I block news about 
?
I'm not really interested in the whole American election carnival tbh... (yes I know that it will impact things on an international level, still it just floods every fucking feed I see online 
)
matrix? but that is more of a discord or telegram alternative, session and tox also look interesting for chatting
Not gonna lie, watching the Americans slowly making their country collapse is entertaining. Tho I feel for the comrades and friends who will be put in dire straights because of it. Here in Europe there has (maybe? my bubble is pretty small) been a slow realization in the liberals that relying on America is kinda a shitty idea in the long term. How much do you guys think that America will change its geopolitics when trump takes over?
I haven't really been (actively) following American domestic politics the last few years, its too much of a drama fest.
boyboy and Ididathing, tho they are on both
no emoji 
I haven't seen much of a problem from any of their users
Yeah, didn't know it was a thing but that would make sense
Momentum, support and compatibility.
There are also other OS'es like FreeBSD and openBSD that are relatively widely used and a whole host of vendor OSes like IBM's IAX or Z/OS or the open solaris derivative illumos (all unix based), not to mention the embedded real time OSes that you find in a lot of cameras and such.
The common thing among most still in use is that they are old, well tested, stable, have a lot of software developed for them + they are in most cases compatible with a lot of different hardware, these things need time and money to achieve and people aren't going to develop software for an OS that isn't going to be used because it lacks those features.
That's not to say people aren't still writing new operating systems, they definitely are, it's just that they'll never get as generally used or well known as the mentioned 3.
I've been using wayland almost exclusively since 2020 because x-org doesn't support multi refresh rate setups and it was driving me nuts to have everything run at 60hz. It's been pretty smooth sailing because I use an AMD gpu. I have to admit that steam is indeed a lot buggier under wayland, I try to use gamescope for every game as that fixes most problems I have with them. My hope is that proton will use wayland for most games by the end of this or next year.
Debian's wiki states that "Wayland is used by default in Debian 10 and newer" (on gnome, It's also the the default for plasma 6 but that'll take some time to get into debian as you say)
