> There's really nothing good, from a technical perspective, when something is enlarged 1000x the requirement. If you look at the code for sysvinit, it's maybe 10k lines. Systemd is > 1M lines of code, likely approaching 1.5M by now. So I suppose, 100x the size.

The systemd repo is a mono repo for other tools in addition to the init system.

I've heard from many sysadmins and distribution maintainers that systemd has been amazing. We went from ad hoc shell scripts to declarative plain text files. I think that's a huge win.

As Mitchell said, the rules of engagement are defined per project. I'm giving you an example.

Mitchell has really enjoyed Nu essentially. If it is implemented in a shell script, it probably also means that general shell tooling can work with the format.

Nobody is screwed in the Ghostty project. Simply open a discussion to discuss your idea.

The barrier in the Ghostty project is to simply open a discussion. It's not really hard.

Andrew doesn't need to write anything. You're making a bad faith argument.

> I think it's reasonable to assume that he means to literally abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, leaving the US without Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

You really don't think that the US had federal immigration enforcement before 2003. Very strange.

Denouncing ICE is not denouncing federal immigration law. The Department of Homeland Security did not exist until 2003. Are you saying that prior to 2003, the US did not enforce federal immigration law?

Can you explain why GTK is a mess?

What is the flatpak stack? Even unsandboxed apps use the portals.

Basedpyright is really good. I've been using it in neovim for a while. I'm currently evaluating ty. It is definitely not as good, but it is also really new.

I appreciate that we have good alternatives to pylance. While it is good, it being closed source is a travesty.

MATE exists. You can use it right now.

The people on the Red Hat desktop team that work on GNOME are killing it. I think you might not be paying attention. Not every change is visible.

gnome-terminal is GTK 3 last I checked, and foot uses Wayland primitives. If you want a native terminal feel, Ghostty would be a great terminal. On Linux, my backup terminal is Ptyxis, authored by Christian Hergert. I recommend Ptyxis over gnome-terminal or gnome-console.

I use Ghostty because it is a native application, and it looks great on macOS and GNOME. WezTerm, Kitty, and Foot don't do that for me. Foot is great though.

The GNOME Foundation is a non-profit as well.

> Does anyone have good examples of this actually happening for end user software (like Ghostty is) and where in the long term proprietary fork won?

VSCode is a proprietary fork of code-oss, the product located at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode. It might not be an example that you're looking for though.

I'm not a new Linux user, and I use GNOME. I've done stints on KDE, Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, and Budgie.

I personally find GNOME to be the best experience. I'm just stating that GNOME also caters to people with a decade+ of Linux desktop experience.

I've used GNOME for years, and I'm not a heavy workspace user. I don't remember the last time I wanted a minimize action. If you really do want it, you can use GNOME Tweaks or Refine, which is the modern equivalent. Someone is working on an XDG Desktop Portal setting as well for the window actions.

I use macOS at work, and I've used Windows in the past. I still never use a minimize option. Maybe I'm weird, but I've never understood the use for it.
