Lot's of things in computing should be simplified. Especially bios firmware / boot process. It has become overly complicated mess offering zero value for anybody. In 10 years the bios chip size has increased from 8 mbit to 256 mbit and no features added. Only TPM 2.0 has been added, but it is another chip than bios.
Omg there's already 168 issues reported and I don't have an account for github. Tjanks for suggesting the link. I won't do it and probably delete this thread too.
I didn't know that logging question is related to SystemD, so thanks for telling it! As an non-top class desktop user the same thing frustrates especially because the solution is often simpler and not found from those logs.
I enjoy the seamless experience it offers. I doubt Linux in general could be noticeable faster with better optimized SystemD or with perfect init for speed.
Thinkpad T480 or HP Dev One for the cheapest you can find. If they're not powerful enough, use them until System76 releases their Virgo. It will have an open source (Coreboot) bios, trackpoint and hot-swappable mechanical keyboard.
They're asking for betatesters in the blog post. Having that beta version available in the AUR would explode the amount of beta testers.
AUR contains tons of Linux Mobile stuff which I hated a lot in the beginning, but then I thought that if it helps devs to distribute those mobile apps then I'm fine with it.
I used to use Global Menu stil 2 years and it was a mess. For me, Wayland is a gift from gods. The screen tearing went away and it feels more snappier. When I rarely need an external monitor, gone is the need of xrandr-plumbing to make different resolutions to work.
Try Manjaro Sway. Wayland can't get any better than with Sway. Of you prefer to not read the docs and confog by yourself, then go with KDE. Literally zero reasons to use xorg anymore. I've used Sway 2-3 months after dwm and regret a lot I didn't switch earlier to Wayland.
Which is just a good thing. Fragmentation has gone way too wide just to confuse the first-time users. Less projects with more working hands leads to a better solution.
The mobile linux is silly as well. 3 separate projects while none is ready. Still they all flood the aur with mobile apps.
Why there must be Cinnamon, XFCE and LxQt while they all looks 100% the same for end-user, but none supports Wayland, VRF or HDR? Those are standards which attracts first-time users than never-ending and confusing comparison between distros and DE's.
I noticed this driver crapware by updating the mobo bios I bought used. Luckily MSI has a rollback tool lol.
My i5-2500K had a nice GUI bios with 16 mbit bios chip. Including UEFI and Secureboot and other modern features.
