Now THIS is a duct tape solution!

I really needed to run a compositor from an arch chroot and systemd's udev is straight up broken in chroot, so I used libudev-zero and made sure that every time systemd updated I would delete the libudev .so file and plunk libudev-zero ontop of it, no i've moved on to greener pastures (Artix) but hey, it did work.

I have been looking a LONG time for a consistently stable distro, ill let you know when I find one in approx 20 years

I mean, It's already faster for me as well as being more reliable. I would already put it in the "better then gnome" category.

system76 backed themselves into a corner by criticizing gnome

what does this even mean? S76 had been supporting gnome for a long time, and gnome never because anything actually good. Gnome is still a complete mess the second you try to do tweaking, it still has horrible performance, and the devs are still a pain to interact with.

It's not like S76 just one day started having issues with gnome, S76 had been investing both development time and financially to the gnome project for years. PopOS was always going to eventually migrate away from gnome, because gnome is simply not a good DE for a paid product, and Gnome devs seem to have zero interesting in making it one.

It has a LOT of issues still, it has potential, but things like subscriptions rarely actually work for me, and when it does, it takes ages for it to work. Portrait videos don't work.

I do like how it syncs my watch history, allows me to watch membership content. I wish it allowed me to comment natively as well as like dislikes. However the page button allows you to open the webview for the video giving access to those, not superb, but for sure not bad.

this doesn't apply here. hyprland has announced that "all your wlroots programs will still work". so they are keeping support for wlr protcols

is another big factor, and probably the one that finally tipped the scales

means that it is not the sole motivating factor.

which means even if they are literally adolf hitler, I shouldn’t care, as long as they don’t post about gassing people on my server

Literally means that if they go around spewing crap, they get dealt with. This is not condoning hateful trolling at all. He is on the free speech side of things, but that doesn't mean he condones it at all. If you start posting bad crap, you get dealt with. Minor slights, are as the name implies, minor. Those are allowed but within strict limitations, if you start going full blown idiot, you get dealt with.

the blog post inside the linked blog post goes over some points. each point is copy and pasted more or less.

• like for example the multiple times I've spent dozens of hours debugging a single issue only for it to turn out a small typo or a careless mistake that any language would catch at compile time, except for C
• Memory safety issues arising from the absolute lack of any documentation whatsoever of wlroots have also been quite the annoyance
• The development of a display server is very complicated, as they are very broad and complex pieces of software. Mixing a C library with 0 documentation is basically asking for trouble.
• new wayland features that require changes in wlroots tend to take ages to get merged into wlroots, like for example tearing, where a basically ready MR took 9 months to merge
• explicit sync still not being a thing, despite KDE and Gnome having implementations already (I believe it is now, but not at the time of the blog post)

Wlroots has a slow development time for features hyprland wants, as well as hyprland having a different release cycle then sway, often causing packaging nightmares.

violated their code of conduct in places where the code of conduct explicitly does not apply is extremely important here. He never once violated code of conduct anywhere that it did apply, and in public spaces was quite respectful, You could for sure find faults with him, but you could find way more faults with most other developers who still actively contribute to projects hosted on FDO.
