Thank you for the response and information. Unfortunately I’m my advancing years I’ve found I actually kinda like KDE now… so I’ve been using that. But that is certainly something I can play with to see if I can get it working.

I agree with everyone here, if you want learn stuff than LFS is amazing, I encourage everyone to go through it at least once. But it’s not a daily driver, if you want a daily driver stick go with Gentoo or stick with Arch.

I am SO with you! Wayland is just not feature complete at all and everyone is acting like it is.

I just updated my steamdeck to the most recent version which switched to wayland by default and guess what? Remote play was busted in desktop mode, which I use all the time, awesome. Thankfully they still let you switch back to X11 for desktop mode.

OBS window capture does not work for certain window types in wayland, I tried every method available, this bit me to so hard to had to do an emergency rollback to an out of life version of an OS on my OBS machine because it was a majorly breaking change.

You can’t ssh in and run something on the desktop, like I tried to ssh into my desktop and start moonlight (because there are no good remote desktop solutions still) but apparently there is NO WAY AT ALL to run something as my user, on my desktop, from an external SSH session, nothing like setting your DISPLAY variable and allowing access via xhost. I had to walk over to my desktop and manually start it, it felt like going back to the stone age. What if I wasn’t home? I would be unable to access my desktop UI at all without driving to my house and manually touching physical things, this is a wild regression to me.

The lack of good remote desktop is still an issue, but to be fair that’s plagued linux for a while, it just mostly seems wildly inconsistent now with what will or will not work.

I guess X11 forwarding has been band-aided with waypipe, which is good, though I’ve not used it much yet so I don’t know how well or not it actually works in real world use.

Someone please tell me I’m wrong about this and explain what I don’t know, but every time I’ve asked about this stuff in various places I get radio silence.

Paper Luigi

This has always been my head cannon as well. Even if there is some randomness to it, it will still be so much the same every time that eventually you will get bored with it. Compare that to the wild variation you would get with real ingredients and a messy human throwing various things in with the wrong amounts maybe leaving things out or adding in something else that normally wouldn’t be there, a wildly different take on the dish.

Maybe something will finally get done to plug that gap.

Ansible is all well and good for managing servers and patching and stuff, but desktops and users and group policy to secure user workstations is the gap I have yet to see filled. Active Directory is just LDAP at it’s core, and LDAP existed in unix land far before windows, but the suite of management and policy tools seems missing.

Is there any enterprise grade central management software for Linux yet? I’ve looked before but not found anything good, I feel like it’s a real gap in the market right now.

C’est bien!

Fox News has some serious competition

That is shockingly likely to be true

You claim he’s not AI yet I can clearly see his satellite dish.

Good news!

It’s good that they don’t realize it’s satire, the satire is doing it’s job in getting people to realize how laws need to change around AI code.

Gotta catch them all.

It’s dead due to costing too much and producing such crap

Words of wisdom right here.

Bingo.

There are at least two services I know of off the top of my head that rely on us-east-1, so even if you are using them in another region if us-east-1 goes down, so does that service in all regions (and so does your app)

The reality is that these multi region “clouds” are not nearly as resilient as they seem, and applications that have built on top of then even less so.
