There were talks a few years ago about changing sd-tmpfiles name but it was decide not worth it due to the churn and bikeshedding it would cause.

sd-tmpfiles is generally used to create, modify (e.g. permissions) and remove directories on the system. The home.conf is intended for systems that only ship /usr/ (e.g. containers) to create /home/ and /srv/ as a separate subvolume on btrfs

This is a proposal by people funded by companies that would provide the services for this (https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/who-benefits-inside-the-eus-fight-over-scanning-for-child-sex-content ).

A lot of actual politicians oppose this https://tbbacherle.eu/2024/06/18/open-letter/

The BSOD really isn't something to be mad at, it actually in theory is good but there is only so much you can do when a kernel panics. What you should be mad at is shitty drivers causing BSODs

which definitely seems out of scope.

Doesn't seem out of scope for a system and service management suite. Like, the timeperiod where systemd was "just an init" was relativly brief (like half a year).

The case is: You switched to it before it was "old-old-stable" and haven't updated.

Causes for this are likely:

  • Software hasn't been tested on new version
  • Software hasn't been updated to work on new version
  • Needs revalidation for some specific certification
  • Lazy

(I think that's their goal, either ads or no watch)

They should test this much more often and frequently. Unlike Gnome, KDE do actually care about their users, not just about themselves.

It's not like GNOME is the only outlier here (for the specific icon problem sure), someone on the linux subreddid also posted this screenshot https://imgur.com/a/1ELtsJb. It seems to really just be that KDE apps kinda struggle out side of KDE. And most of the GNOME devs do care about the users as well, just they also care that their apps look as intended.

It's been a thing I personally have been wondering why this is how it is for a while. Personally I like most of the GNOME stuff, but this decision has always stood out as odd.

But then again I almost always use ctrl+w or alt-f4 to close apps, so I am mostly unaffected.

Sometimes (almost always) I wish that the refunded money wouldn't come out of Steams/Valves pocket...

Just a minor clarification/correction: the "or later" part also depends on the license per se. There is a GPL-3.0-only and a GPL-3.0-or-later. Usually you'll find something like "or at your option any later version." if that is the case, but by default you should expect the GPL-3.0-only to apply.

Fun fact: open source has a definition: https://opensource.org/osd

I don't know much about Grayjay, but how you are describing it, it at best is "source open"
