    I’ve been running it for over 10 years now across a few different PCs and stability-wise has been a mixed bag for me.

    First PC was unsurprisingly flaky. Nvidia optimus laptop where the optimus drivers were still being figured out for linux. So I was running the testing repo to get SOME semblance of usability. Plus a whole host of other issues.

    Second PC was perfect, never had a single issue with stability the 7 or 8 years i used it. Still functions, but the graphics card was starting to struggle in games. So now it sits silent.

    Latest one was perfect for a few years, but in the last few months has been getting weird. Some graphics driver/kernel issues (known bugs, now resolved). Plus other weirdness I thought was related but isn’t. Some applications just wouldn’t launch, or launched if I started them immediately after logging in, but not if i did anything else first. The plasma 6 update messed up a lot of stuff for me too. So just yesterday I reinstalled Arch to another SSD and symlinked some stuff and that has solved most of my issues. The thing is, it’s a bleeding edge rolling release distro. Sometimes things do break for me, but most of the time it’s fixed a few days later. What happened to me recently hasn’t been an issue since the old crappy laptop, and I am running a LOT of stuff from the AUR. So to summarise my essay, generally pretty stable lol.




  • I think he is claiming that Hashicorp is a small company and that open source foundations are a ploy by big companies (like Amazon, I guess) to keep code available to them. That way they can benefit from the innovation of others. Then this will put off companies from developing open source since they don’t want these big companies to profit off their hard work.

    This is of course all total bollocks and he is just a greedy C-suite douchebag who is butthurt that the open source community wants to continue using the open source software that they helped create.



  • My work uses slack. The screenshare doesn’t work with Wayland. Steam link/remote play doesn’t work with a Wayland host (at least it hasn’t every time i have tried it). For my gaming pc i only switch to X when i want to use the steam link and use Wayland the other 99.99% of the time because in general it is better. For work i exclusively run X. I started with Wayland, but then there were several occasions where i had to logout then login again switching to X just so i could share my screen which was a massive pain. I love Wayland, but i can totally understand people not wanting to switch until the tools they are used to (or are required to use) work properly under Wayland.
