Hard synths vs soft synths. Hard synth purists scoff at soft synths because they are not "authentic" and merely simulations. Soft synth snobs scoff at hard synth users because they are old timers who can't move on to the future. Both are fine, do what you want. At the end of the day, what matters is if the music you produce is actually good.

    systemd but now that the "debate" is effectively iver it seems like Wayland will be the next big one.

  • The debate is already over. xorg is on life support, the XLibre fork is run by a guy with weird political views (so a lot of people don't want to work with him) and Nvidia also said they will not support it.

    Wayland still lacks some features (e.g. good RDP support), but it will mature and get adopted even more.

  • I don't think it's over. Some distros are reluctant to ship it by default because its user base also strongly thinks so. Gentoo, Void, Alpine, and Devuan, to name a few. It's pointless to "persuade" other people to do the same, so we just use what we feel right.

    Gnome vs KDE, just use whichever one suits your flow. Or not, grab Cinnamon or Hyprland if that floats your boat. Options are good!

  • If it comes to using the DE of your choice, I totally agree. But there have been numerous instances where Gnome developers act like entitled bitches, because the rest of the open-source community doesn't want to adhere to their standards.

    When the Gnome devs say we don't need a system tray, it's law! (even though an extension for it has been downloaded over 700.000 times so far. Fuck the actual users, I guess.)
