  • I think it kills the community. Making a Wayland window manager is so much harder to do than an X one. This monolithic solution solves the problems of Gnome, and KDE developers but less people want to be involved in windowing systems. I’m just being sad for X11, because, although it had nonsense features, it made linux desktop applications compatible with every desktop and we had huge variety of wms, compositors, desktop environments. Personally I’m still on X because of bspwm, but eventually there will be wayland-only features which will slowly kill X.

    I use rust only if we need performance, for small services. The industry does the same. People use node for backend but e.g. redis is in rust. It’s a good tool if you use it for the right stuff.

    EDIT: redis is not in rust, but e.g. aws writes many services in rust

    Vertical integration and progressive company are good for Apple but for the consumer they are irrelevant I think.

    Security is ok, privacy must be a joke, siri is listening, just like google. You have to be logged in to install an app from the store etc…

    Pretty limited ui. Some might like it, some may don’t, but they can’t change nothing.
