    Well this is bound to be controversial, to say the least. GNOME and systemd are two pieces of software that attract very polarized opinions.

    I’m interested to see how this evolves. The planned session restore feature sounds nice. With the Wayland changes coming too, GNOME 50 should be a big deal, one way or another.

      Ubuntu + Snap + GNOME + Wayland + Systemd

      Holy moly, there is a lot of stuff for haters to talk about. Each of these parts are very polarizing on its own, but combined, phew.

          Are there rust haters? I guess there must be, but I don’t think I’ve run across that so much as the “everything ever made must be rewritten in rust” crowd, and then everyone else who doesn’t much care what language is used as long as it works.

      Yes, systemd is a very good and very well written piece of software while GNOME is a pile questionable decisions that uses web tech to create themes and takes about half a second to load up any window. Also the same pile where you’ve to use 3 different network management UIs to get stuff done. And… where you can’t have desktop icons because they were too hard to get done properly OR where you can’t have a “disable animations” toggle on the settings to actually disable ALL animations instead of just some stuff while leaving others arounds.

        GNOME - misses basic functionality every other DE provides, still uses the most resources even before you add extensions

    Finally, because nobody needs to manage system like it’s the 2000’s nor have duplicate daemons around to do stuff that systemd does in 1/4 of the resources and with less bugs.

    There are only 2 types of people. Who hate systemd and those who don’t know what systemd is. \s
