Just wait for systemd-wayland.


Systemd does not have to force Wayland as it is already going the other way. Both GNOME and KDE are requiring systemd now.


KDE support doesn't even require Linux, let alone Systemd: https://community.kde.org/FreeBSD/Setup

GNOME, on the other hand, practically wants everything running on the exact same software stack, so it requiring a package means nothing.


This discussion is originally about xfce, which does not require systemd now.


Gnome?


Great blog post. The Netware one was interesting too.


The bigger news is that this also fixes the QEMU compatibility bug that makes OpenBSD hang out of the box on arm64 when starting X.

It started in 7.3 with the frame buffer changes and the only workaround was to disable the kernel driver.

Maybe more people will get to try out OpenBSD successfully now.


I am one of them! Been wanting to try it out for a while but my only available machine is an MBP


I can confirm it is fixed in the latest OpenBSD snapshot build. Works great.


Why does QEMU need to start X? Shouldn't that be OpenBSD's responsibility?


OpenBSD does start X. And subsequently OpenBSD apparently hangs (or did so previously) when OpenBSD was running under Qemu.

The subject in the parent comment changed to OpenBSD when they mentioned it, and it appears you may have overlooked the subject change.

Maybe not posting such comments would increase the value of this site.


Clockwork Pi experience with the CM4 is not good. 10 months to ship. Horrible Wifi performance, can't hold a link, and it only has around 50 minutes of battery life. I regret my purchase and it's sitting in my rack next to a bunch of old ham radios.


Sell it on ebay to one of those people that have to wait 10 months, instead of letting it rot on a shelf?


It’s still more up my alley than the pi 500


Hi, who just joined?


Could this inherently be a function to keep the water or sweat out of your eyes? Or to give you the continued ability to focus your eyesight on predators or long distance threats?


Awesome move Debian! I'm super excited for this one.


In the legal vertical, WordPerfect had a good strange hold with NetWare on the back end. It's interesting to see that the synergy of the Corel acquisition didn't really work out for Novell.


Other then the occasional NLM crashing, running fixpacks and resellers trying to figure out licensing, NetWare administrators had a great quality of life during this era.


I caught that timeline discrepancy as well. I was surprised to see Active Directory mentioned so early in the NetWare timeline, NDS had quite a bit of time to gain the high ground in market share.
