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.

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?

Why would someone stay with x even though it's deprecated, architecturally broken and unmaintainable

Until I cannot run software on X11, I won't switch over knowingly.

Please explain

Maybe check how long it is already going, so it can give you some confidence. Forgejo is a fork of gitea, which is a fork of gogs.

Also, codeberg, a nonprofit from Germany, is supporting development.

https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/

The codebase history of Forgejo and its predecessors predates Codeberg. However, since 2022, Codeberg is backing the development of Forgejo as an umbrella organization.
