It works. You simply need the kde portal and pipewire installed

Valve’s custom wayland compositor used on steam os

Pop os uses systemd boot ootb

While you raise valid points I don’t really have a preference actually. I self host many services that all depend on a postgres db and it would be overkill to create an extra database just for seafile it’s also really easy to manage with a nice interface like pgadmin and i found it overall reliable and it can easily scale up and down according to my needs .

However the main reason i didn’t chose MySQL in the first place is simply because i don’t trust oracle for keeping MySQL open-source (i’m actually surprised it stayed open source for so long) postgres has been independent for decades so i know they’re not gonna give me up

I gave up on using it when they dropped postgres support

Isn’t pipewire the wayland of pulseaudio ? (Like pipewire is supposed to modernize pulseaudio just like wayland and x11)

Yep you’re right. Mesa covers almost anything. But streaming and recording, photo and video editing, 3d rendering ai training etc aren’t “specific compute tasks” they represent the vast majority of the market with billions of dollars in revenue. And no the solution isn’t to use another gpu. It’s for AMD to make their software stack actually usable

For gaming AMD is as good as NVIDIA or even better. For anything else tho it’s a dumpster fire. Amf still isn’t on par with nvenc, rocm is pure garbage and they are basically useless for any compute task

I have the exact same setup. NVIDIA card with dual monitors with different refresh rates. I could try wayland but it’ll be a risky bet or i will be stuck with two 90hz instead of one 144hz and one 90hz. Because of this i was actually kinda forced to go back to windows. If anyone has a solution i’ll be happy to hear it because i would like to switch back to linux

It’s not just Microsoft tho. Redhat, oracle, facebook, Google, intel, AMD, they all contribute to linux. Removing their contribution would effectively make the kernel unusable

First the powershell is a very good terminal and some even consider it better than bash. And if you’re talking about the actual terminal emulator it also became really good with the new windows terminal(which is also open source) it bas many good features and customization options. Also wsl2 IS a VM running on hyper-v. It simply uses a custom kernel optimised for it and the cherry on top of the sunday : you can run gui apps natively (windows 11) with WSLg which uses wayland/xwayland

Well if you want to make a completely independent distro you could try linux from scratch and package the distro as an ISO with the packages you want and maybe try to add a package manager if you can. However i doubt that would be worth it as linux from scratch takes a lot of time and efforts to build and will rarely be better than just building a custom arch or debian ISO
