The main reason is that Dbus is not available during early stages of boot. There are many others.

Varlink seems to be better or the same compared to dbus in all except two things:

  • json doesn't handle 64bit integers, it handles 52bit (or 54bit?) (size of mantissa for floats)
  • you cannot (yet) list all things connected to the bus

There are some really nice designs here. I really hope that KDE finally gets to pay attention to this. I love simplification of it.

One thing I don't like here is the login screen. There is too much stuff on it. I think gnome's login screen, as it is now, is fantastic.

And one more thing, proposal for mindset change: not everything has to be a widget. Some things (like shell) could have layouts: layout as current plasma/windows, layout as gnome, layout as Mac, layout as Win8... If things get well thought out, you can integrate this and switch layouts and not di*k around with widgets. Less moving parts, less problems.

Didn't they discover them years ago at the garbage dump in Japan?

It's probably a discussion for allowing Ukraine to do what they want with long range weapons.

Russia has made pretty direct statements about what happens then - they will consider NATO to be in direct war with Russia.

I think this number is overblown. Production useful doesn't have to mean 1:1.

Running it without all graphics drivers would be fine for server use. Also, not all filesystems need to be ported: basic ones should be enough for start. But not only servers, home routers run Linux kernel...

If every OEM starts contributing their drivers in rust, this could move quickly...

Who was the guy that had a lot of pauses with mmmmmm when talking?

Depends on the timeline.

X crashed way more for me on kde than Wayland on gnome. 'Never' is quite the statement.

Right. And I'm interested if there are some legitimate needs for you to run x until it stops working.

Or is this just a revolt?
