Wayland is necessary because Wayland will be necessary in the near future, if it was next year then that would put a lot of people who don't know about X.Org and Wayland through a major shift which could rock-the-boat a bit too much and cause them to go back to Windows for the "just works" experience.

I think we need rock-solid Wayland before we can expect TYLD. So I'm feeling 2026 minimum, then add a couple for some padding; so 2028 realistically. Think of how far we've come in 5 years, then imagine 5 years more.

If Nvidia's consumer GPU market share dropped a bit too, that'd help.

So then how come Nova Custom do modern intel CPUs?

From the looks of it Coreboot just doesn't support AMD.

 

I'm quite interested in putting coreboot onto my laptop, if that's possible. But first I want to know if it's reliable as I'll be using this laptop for school, and if I can even do it in the first place.

I have an Acer Aspire A515-47, AMD Ryzen 5 5625U. I don't know any detailed information about the motherboard, nor northbridge or southbridge. I did try to find them but I couldn't find anything online. I mention these as they were mentioned on the coreboot docs.

Also from the docs, I'll be doing the internal method as my laptop already, obviously, runs Linux (Fedora Silverblue).

If you've only ever used Windows, Linux is like using a computer for the first time.

Get the glue out I guess.

Don't give them ideas...

Isn't the logo just a unicode character? The X in X.Org is 2 seperate pieces that bend away from each other at the center.

[–] HW07@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I wouldn't call it pointless, having another layer is quite handy. But I would like to see it adopt a more ambiguous name, sure Super or Meta is here but they haven't caught on due to their logo still being plastered on the key.

Why not use a seperate /home partition if that's something you value?

iPhone is the same thing, but you don't have a choice.
