Those are terribly run enterprises. I work for a giant multinational that is widely considered to be obsolete tech-wise ... I'm on fedora 42 on my work laptop. The team responsible for vetting, security and customising the deployment was ready day one.

Its 3-4 people catering for the ~2-3000 users that use the os internally.

I get the need for stability and repeatability in enterprise. I'm a sysadmin for more than 20 years. That 3 year timeline could maybe move up a bit, even windows deployments are more or less up to date. Why would't linux be?

Lastly, the more resistance to wayland, the longer it will take for it to reach a level of polish to where even you would aprove of.

When the switch became inevitable (distros defaulting, dropping x11), I installed it, lived with its crappy issues back then, reported said issues and moved on with my day.

Edit: I will say, one thing I still hate about wayland is the sleep behaviour. The 2 x11 systems I still use work well for this, none of my wayland systems want to wake up from sleep nicely.

I will never understand what is rough. Ive been using fedora kde for what ... 2-3 years now? More?

2 years ago there were some issues with nvidia, but that is fixed now mostly.

I use it for work, there is an ocasional hiccup, that gets fixed next reboot, something like a terminal not resizing just right but ... thats it?

People dont like change man, in the day and age when tech changes at breakneck speed, people dont like change

I'll just wait for the shit to roll downhill on this one. Fool me once ... I have my popcorn ready.

Used one for about a year. No. I play stuff online alot, so its important to me. No slowdowns. It has nothing to do with your ping.

Opnsense, pfsense, adguard home, pi-hole. Look into them, start caring about your privacy. Not because you have nothing to hide, but because one day your data might be used against you.

I know, I was just having a bad day and I kinda took it out on you. My bad.

If you ever want to self host ... psono is always an option, but it has a hairy setup.

As a former sysadmin, there is plenty of logic in saying that. I have debugged countless systems that were using systemd, yet somehow the openrc ones just chug along. In the server space systemd is a travesty.

In the desktop space however, i much prefer systemd. Dev environments as well. So yes thst is where "it's fine". More than fine, needed!

I just hate this black and white view of the world, I cant stand it. Everything has its place, on servers you want as small a software footprint as possible, on desktop you want compatibility.

This right here is why i moved to a single display setup.

The one thibg I'd wish I'd known when moving from google that self-hosting is bliss. For everything else there is tuta and nextcloud.
