The article you posted is outdated. The last change was in 2022 and most sections are even older. Plasma 6 has full Wayland support.

How is it relying on XWayland? I don’t know of any KDE Plasma components that require X11. The apps you install might need XWayland but that is separate from the Plasma desktop.

What is your threat model? If you don’t want to give any data to these companies you simply can’t interact with them at all. Where do you draw the line? Once you have figured that out you can come up with a plan.

One thing you probably should always do is separating your business devices from your personal devices. Then create the accounts you need for your business and only use them with your work laptop or phone. If you want, you can invent a sockpuppet persona that acts as your social media manager. This should insulate your personal life from most tracking as long as you don’t use your work laptop for things unrelated to work. I wouldn’t fuss around too much with privacy preserving apps for a business accounts outside of ad-blocking and regularly cleaning up cookies.

Editorializing the title and putting nothing but polemics into the description paints you in a worse light than it does the systemd devs.

Nostr is made by a nazi removed.

I would prefer purple.

I am using Kinoite for quite a while now and not once did layering break anything. The only thing I notice is that the mesa drivers from rpmfusion occasionally go out of sync with the fedora repos and I have to wait a few days for an update. I think ublue would fix that but I am not bothered enough by that to make the switch. What where you trying to achieve that you managed to break Kinoite?

In case you haven’t tried that yet, maybe you could run it in a systemd enabled distrobox container.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they introduce another subscription tier at some point that features Ads or worse. Then, at a later date, they will gradually raise prices across the board so the new subscription tier becomes as expensive as the current one.

I guess Roll20s subscriber numbers plateaued and they are now feeling the pressure from dnd beyond. Buying a competitor is probably the fastest way to bolster their customer count.

Have you tried plaintextaccounting? I am using hledger, it works very well for me.

How do your Python problems relate to a sudo/run0 discussion?

I really don’t care about the command I use to get elevated privileges. On my Debian servers I use su and maybe in future, if Fedora decides to make the switch, I will use run0.

Sounds like you never upgraded from Fedora 38. Have you tried a manual upgrade using the commandline? Here are the instructions.

If the cosmic devs start to behave like the gnome devs, that hate is well deserved. Also, if gnome just abused their own users nobody outside of their userbase would care. Breaking something and then expecting everybody else to clean up the mess is what people hate about gnome. It is a pitty because it sullies the name of gnome as a whole. There are a lot of people doing great work at gnome that now get lumped in with these sad excuses for software developers. For example, I think the gnome UX on a small form factor laptop is unrivaled. My surface tablet never worked better; but I still don’t recommend it to anyone else because I know who the devs are and how they conduct themselves.

Now contrast this with how the COSMIC devs interact with KDE. I don’t know. Is being a massive removed a requirement if you want to be a GNOME developer?

I love to see the progress Fedora Atomic Desktops is making. I switched to Fedora Kinoite from Windows and it has been the most stable Linux experience I have ever had. Updating to Fedora 40 was as easy as checking out another git branch. When I installed Linux I wasn’t expecting to stay with it for very long because I had some bad experiences with it in the past. As of now, I haven’t had the need to boot into Windows since switching to Fedora five months ago.

I am using Wayland and the only issue that is a bit annoying is that I can’t use fractional scaling because it breaks FreeRDP clients. Both Remmina and FreeRDP have issues when scaling is active. For now I just increased the font size in KDE its not perfect but good enough until this is hopefully fixed.

For streaming there is Wayland to X11 bridge. I have been using it regularly with MS Teams and it works great.
