Yes there is, it’s called the compositor.
In Wayland, the compositor is functionally both a display server and compositor.

Yes, but not on Gnome Wayland and that’s the problem. Their decision to do CSD only on Wayland is a problem for the entire ecosystem.

Server Side Decorations merge when?

Yeah, OP should probably add “Rust-based” or specific Epoch to avoid confusion.

like 5 years or more

They’re really good & extremely dedicated devs with lots of experience working on it, so I think that’s a little bit of an underestimation, I think it’s within the possibly of getting there within 5 years, maybe not exactly 1:1 ofc. However, they’ve really put in a lot of thought into base of the project, and in my experience having a strong well designed base can propell future development forward much faster than initial estimates. Even now, they’ve been smashing mile stones much faster than expected and if they keep their current trajectory at a steady rate I believe it’s possible the meet some level of parody within a 5 year goal. Ofc, anything can happen so only time will tell. Also, considering the fact that they’re not having to deal with the X11 tech debt…

That’s not Linux… Here’s hoping your post doesn’t get removed.

Linux isn’t as fragmented as you think.

He’s literally using sarcasm to mock the idea of fully switching from GNU/Linux to SystemD/Linux. The “/s” at the end indicates the statement is sarcastic, meaning he does not actually believe this switch will happen, but is sarcastically suggesting it will.

Literally just say out loud to yourself with a sarcastic tone :

So when are we going to fully switch from GNU/Linux to SystemD/Linux?

He’s not literally asking when this switch will occur, but rather mocking the notion in a sarcastic tone. Sarcasm involves using words in a mocking or ironic way, often to criticize or make a humorous point, rather than stating the opposite of what one means in a literal sense as a rule of thumb, the sarcastic tone is the key. The implied meaning is the opposite of the implied statement within the sarcastic question, rather than stating the opposite directly. I believe you’re confused because he’s framing it as a question to obfuscate the meaning and make the sarcasm more subtle.

You forgot /s

Sudo isn’t GNU tho.

Sudo is for getting the necessary perms to write the data to the location after the > operator. Cat is just super fast, faster than dd infact as it’s not actually intended to write to disks, only to stout. We want as much speed as possible to do as much damage as possible by increasing our chances of trigging bugs.

/dev/urandom provides an unlimited stream of random data, the output is based on truly random data and doesn’t block regardless if the entropy pool is depleted.
It’s not the same as /dev/random which only returns random numbers from the entropy pool at a limited rate and can block if the entropy pool is deplete.

By using /dev/urandom and cat we’re blasting random data at much faster speeds then what /dev/random & dd are capable of which increases our chances of triggering a bug by quite a bit.

It blasts all virtual device files that directly represent the hardware of the system; from disks to audio devices and so on; with extremely random data potentially causing irreversible damage.

sudo cat /dev/urandom > /dev/*
Or
sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=4k conv=notrunc,noerror

P.s. sudo cat /dev/urandom > /dev/* can cause physical damage to all hardware components, not just destroy your drives data.

sudo cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sda*

You don’t seem to understand

Fedora Workstation & OpenSUSE use BTRFS by default and it’s not really problematic theses days.

The reason it runs so bad is because it enables a shit load of resource heavy graphical effects and background processes by default that simply aren’t enabled on other distributions.

I’m not sure if its the scheduler settings, or something with the zram settings

Last I knew they used the zen kernel so it shouldn’t be the scheduler.

I tried Garuda quite some time ago and even barebones was a performance nightmare.

Running an LTS distro. Might as well just use Debian.
