  • I have two notes.

    If you want a fancy tiling manager I would recommend Niri + Noctalia. Hyperland is run by a right wing chud who was such a chud he was banned from the free desktop foundation for being such a chud. The dude is a 4chan type who thinks he/him is normal and she/her is political to the point where the admins overwrote people’s profile pronouns to who/cares.

    As for x11 vs wayland i would strongly recommend picking wayland. Its the default on all mainstream Linux distros now days and is massively more secure.

    Under X11 any application can just keylog and screen record your whole desktop no questions asked. With Wayland apps need permission to do things like record your screen or intercept keystrokes.

    3-4 years ago there where some reasons to not use Wayland . But nowadays these major issues have been resolved. That and those specific x11 desktops tend to have Wayland versions that by coincidence generally speaking have more active communities. (i.e. i3 vs the Wayland equivalent sway)

    Have you seen the quality of the code in the kernel? I am no c fan but the bar and standards are incredibly high.

    The kernel is certainly LLM assisted but I don’t think any honest dev can look at say the recent LLM assisted code and call it slop. If anything the quality of Linux code has gotten higher over the past decade.

    I am not a fan of vibe coded slop and I don’t think it’s fair to call the kernel slop.
