The thing with journalctl is that it is a database. Thus means that searching and finding things can be fast and easy in high complexity cases but it can also stall in cases with very high resource usage.

IDK, ask them. There are some in this thread. I'm addressing the strawman argument that people against it are luddites set in their ways over their beloved cron jobs.

or inetd!

Like trying to destroy people's lives so they can make a few dollars.

I'll preface this by saying that I'm a Wayland user (Hyprland, then KDE Plasma, and I'll be giving Cosmic a fair shot), and don't see myself returning to X and having to choose between massive screen tearing and massive input lag.

Wayland is missing many features that are required for some people or some applications. There's no way for a multi-window application to tell the compositor where to place the windows, for example to have one window snap to and follow the other. Color profiles were implemented very recently. Wayland's isolation of applications, while a significant improvement to security, has made remote input software and xdotool-like programs highly dependent on third-party interoperability solutions (specifically dbus and XDG Desktop Portal). The same isolation broke most accessibility tools like screen readers. Dockable windows, like the toolbars in QT Creator or QOwnNotes, are often difficult or impossible to dock back into the main window.

Because Wayland compositors have to implement all protocols (as opposed to deferring to the X.Org server; which is why wlroots is such a big deal) or rely on XDG Desktop Portal (which has never worked right for me), feature parity between compositors is never guaranteed, and especially problematic with GNOME dragging its heels.

Wayland is nowhere near feature parity with X11 today, and that is a legitimate prohibitive issue for many people. Wayland will never reach total feature parity with X11 in some areas, and that will always be prohibitive for some people.

But the worst (in my opinion) is the development process of the Wayland protocols. The proposal discussion threads read like the best and/or worst sitcom you've ever seen. It took them several months of back-and-forth just short of ad hominem attacks to decide how a window should set its icon. Several months for a pissing WINDOW ICON!

Well, Fedora 40 here as well and it just doesn't work on my computer. Sure, Nvidia, blah blah blah. X does work flawlessly on my machine, though.

It's missing a lot of features that Wayland "developers" (spec writers) don't want to add because they personally don't need them. For the few features they actually add, they leave it to WM developers to implement them, thus creating different incompatible implementations.

Various mildly understandable to braindead reasons

• "it doesn't work"
• "breaks my workflow"
• "Xorg is better"
• "Nvidia"
• "no reason to use it"
• "being pushed by IBM"
• "no SSH forwarding"
• "has taken too long to get to current state"
• "when I last tried it 5 years ago it didn't work"

For one thing they were so obsessed with security as a concept devleoping it that they completely ignored the use case of screen-readers for the visually impaired and prevent apps from accessing text from other apps and as far as I know it is still an issue.

You could just use systemd mounts like a normal person. Fstab is for critical partitions

Linus had an epic flame war with the systemd idiots for breaking Linux stupidly: https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/tso-and-linus-and-the-impotent-rage-against-systemd/

He didn't do anything because he made it clear he owned the kernel and userspace was someone else's problem, but also that the systemd guys were absolute morons who were a danger to themselves and everyone else.

Well, I'll tell you that I prefer systemd because I can comprehend its declarative unit files and dependency-based system a lot better than the shell script DSLs and runlevels that I've had to mess with in other init systems. systemctl status has a quite nice output that can be really handy when debugging units. I like being able to pull up logs for just about any service on my system with a simple journalctl command instead of researching where the log file is.
