I'm not a programmer so i don't have much skin in the game, but from how it's described it seems like a good idea to me and rust seems like a solid language to me. I do understand the concern from devs who don't know rust and don't want to learn it, but i guess that also depends on how much they would actually have to interact with it.

I don't know how to feel about it tbh. My steam deck and vita have oled displays, the tv downstairs has hdr, but it never made as much of a difference imo. Like when i'm sitting at my va monitor i don't feel like i'm missing anything. Maybe it's just a personal thing in terms of what you're most sensitive to. I feel like i'm most sensitive towards refreshrate. I also don't bother with ray tracing cause even in the best examples like cyberpunk, people usually have to point out the difference to me because i barely notice it.

I really love bash scripting. I use it to symlink my dotfiles from my git repo, to configure my void system the way i like it, dmenu scripts, and i also use it on my laptop to send me notifications when my battery is almost empty, when i plug/unplug the charger, when it's fully charged, and to hibernate when it's lower than 5%. For some reason apps like upower don't seem to work on my laptop so bash offered a solution.

I didn't know about bazzite not supporting ntfs. I do agree with you that it's silly that they don't allow you to use it, but from my own experience i will say that they are probably right about ntfs having issues in linux. I was using an external drive formatted to ntfs to move stuff between windows and linux, and at one point the entire partition just broke when it was connected to linux. It didn't seem to be a faulty drive cause after a reformat it worked just fine, but i try to avoid ntfs as much as possible now.

That's probably just going to be regular ubuntu at some point lol

Flatpak is gonna need some more work for me to accept it as the only way to install software if that were to happen though. The only reason i use them right now is because together with appimages they are the least sucky to use, and it beats manually compiling the software.

Huh, i thought that was something wayland was actually good at lol. Haven't experienced any issues myself.

Yeah vrr causing flickering on the desktop is a common issue. I'm only using window managers so i just toggle it on or off with a keybind. On kde or hyprland you could try setting it to only turn on for fullscreen applications.

I think what you're referring to is when you install windows and linux on the same drive. That can indeed cause problems, but if you use seperate drives you should be good to go.

That's great, thanks for the info!

This is kinda unrelated to the post but do icc profiles now generally work on wayland? I thought last time i read about it it didn't work yet but maybe i'm mistaken.

Could you give an example of that? Cause i'm kinda curious. I have used home manager before when i was using nixos, but when i left i went back to using my script. It was kinda annoying to me how home manager was much slower.
