  • Plasma and Gentoo user here.

    The transition has been so uneventful and simple that I didn’t even noticed. I run some 15 desktops with different mixed hardware setups and use VNC / RDP sometimes too.

    One day I started noticing on some desktops Wayland was now in use, by chance. Then I started taking notice.

    I can say the ones moved to Wayland are smoother, but might be aneddotical. Beside that, cannot care less about X11 or Wayland, they both work just fine for all my use cases.

    For the sake of future, welcome Wayland!

    /smallrant Sorry for X11, have to say I have been in the business since kernel version 2 and I DO NOT miss losing X11, its a bunch of half assed half baked spaghetti tech that has done its own time and would not have kept up with life. /rantover.







  • No thank you. Just leeching content from reddit will never get Lemmy anywhere.

    I blocked all content reposted from Lemmy (there was an instance dedicated to that iirc).

    First of all, posts without comments are pointless. Interaction and comments is what grows Lemmy. Second, bot posts are not well received by most here I think.

    I can see it useful only as a “reddit backup” of kind, in case the platform goes offline for good and all that is lost.

    I would worry for the level of moderation required to filter shitty / ai / bots etc.







  • I really don’t like this dangerous trend of condemning actions of people based on wether we agree with them or disagree with them.

    Because this behavior is at the base for intolerance and strong polarization.

    First of all, I want to judge your actions for what they are, not for what your political views are. So Lemmy is good and I like that full stop. There will be better alternatives (maybe already are) and I will judge them without agreeing with their creators political views.

    Second, I prefer to discuss and interact with people who have different views and political ideas than me, because that’s where I grow my ideas and enforce or dispute them. Enough of the echo chamber where the “algorithm” already places us in every social fucking media.

    Kids, it’s by enforcing and supporting even the ideas contrary to yours that you grow up. Yes this is annoying and can cause serious brain engagement, but yeah, that’s how we progress.

    Even fascists or communist ideas. Zionist or pro-Palestine, pro gender or anti woke, if we start judging peoples actions only for their ideas we become fascists.

    I was also tought that what you do is more significant than what you say. Judge by actions, not words.

    So I don’t dislike technology because the guy behind it is a fascist or a communist.

    Said so, if anybody thinks that can do a better Lemmy by forking it, go ahead and let me judged by the actions.





  • Gentoo user since forever.

    The most consistent and long time solid distro, IMHO.

    I use it everywhere I can, from servers to laptops. It’s so flexible and predictable that I simply love it.

    Nowadays emerging stuff is so fast that I wonder why bother with binary packages at all. Once, when compiling Firefox took DAYS well… But in today’s hardware, meh.
