Fortunately such "new choices" get abandoned very quickly. Making new solution instead of improving existing ones is counterproductive. Unless there is a large legacy codebase. Smart people have invented Unix principles to avoid that.

Not really. Best Foss projects do not always thrive. Git wasn't really better than mercurial. But it had happened to be published earlier, so it got wider adoption.

If you will create "next gen" desktop, you will just solve some problems of already existing ones and create your own. Maturity of software is far more important, than uniqueness. GNOME didn't evolve into its current state for no reason.

Minimal OPDS server? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Kavita, same as Komga requires too much RAM.

Komga can track ebook reading progress, by converting them to images.

It doesn't support OPDS-PSE, which is the most common way of tracking progress.

It actually has a ui. But it looks minimal enough. I'll try it.

What is your favourite selfhosted wiki software and why? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Gollum. Hit integration is required if you value wiki content.

  • No calibre database integration
  • No web ui
  • No desktop app
    Just the server, that scans the specified directory for books, displays them in the feed and saves progress.

Why do we invent new DEs instead of making proper settings app in already existing ones?

Systemd is far from being perfect in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Wayland is like Busybox runit. Xorg is like SystemD.

Some seem to use Debian.

IMO the closest one.

Systemd is far from being perfect (discuss.online)
 

  • Systemd-init has a larger attack surface compared to runit, openrc, or sysVinit.

  • Systemd-logind relies on systemd, so we need to adapt it for non-systemD distributions to ensure compatibility with certain applications like GNOME.

  • Udev also depends on systemd.

  • SystemD is specific to Linux, which makes porting software to *BSD even more challenging. It's uncertain what the future holds, and there may be circumstances where Linux becomes unusable for you (e.g., compatibility issues with your laptop). Having a good alternative that doesn't require relearning everything is generally beneficial.

  • SystemD-based distributions often come with more than just "systemd-init." They include additional components like logind, resolved, networkd, systemd-timers, etc. However, many people still prefer using the alternatives they were accustomed to before systemd became popular, such as dhcpcd and cron. Consequently, having both sets of tools installed can increase the attack surface.
