I recently had opposite experience - I been using NixOS with X11+i3 for about 2 years and never had any significant issues beside some troubles with one Nvidia driver version, even most Steam games worked for me without any issues. But out of curiosity decided to give try Wayland+Sway. First Sway remind me that Nvidia GPU completely unsupported and probably wont work at all, but in really fix for that just to use some 'unsupported' flag to launch it. After that I found that displays fractional scaling only can multiply original resolution to bigger size so is no way I will able to set up my 3 different displays in way I would like. Then I found that Zoom app can't share display even if everything for that is provided and it thinks that sharing actually happen (it can share if used thought web-browser and it also some workaround with virtual camera thought kernel module and OBS). After that I found that Barrier app (that I been used to share cursor/keyboard between desktop&laptop) while has support for wayland it can't work with Sway yet and is no any real alternative.

For now I can deal with that stuff but it looks like more I use wayland more issues I see so not sure that I will able stick with it long term.

oh now I also has flickers with discord app

Interesting. From looking into it Wayland had issues with Nvidia, I thought that was already fixed? I admit, it is a bit of a hack getting screen-sharing to work; I've not really had time for it yet as it isn't a daily driver for me.

>I thought that was already fixed?

only partially and both Sway and Hyperland still doesn't has official support yet.

in case of macbooks even if something like usb port controller failed is most likely leads to board replacement as well so is high change that even if RAM is fine it could be useless because some $2 component failure

macbooks have modular ports.

The MacBook Neo has modular ports. The rest of them don't. They may introduce them more widely in the next redesign but that remains to be seen.

The piece I linked, along with the parts for sale in the iFixIt shop seem to contradict your assertion. The piece says:

"The Neo has the same modular bits and bobs we’ve applauded in recent MacBook designs. The USB-C ports are modular, so a damaged charge port doesn’t turn into logic board work."

good that they improving but I have one 2019 macbook died because of that issue, probably my M1 also could die because of that.

The M1s have the modular ports, if iFixIt is to be believed:

I've only changed a battery on that model, not the ports, so I haven't verified, but those steps are detailed enough and consistent enough with what I observed, that I believe them.

> friends watched or a game they played is a perk that has real value

in most cases it don't unless this game become really legendary which often not the case. So young person easily can spent 10y in attempt to do that but as result non of those games will be remembered in 2y after release.

right and it's also additional hidden kind of exploitation happen with that. That artistic passion coming from desire to do better "art" and grow as "artist" (what ever creative field person is chasing) and also to connect with peoples of similar goals.

But in reality that environment helping only to grow in technical aspects of the job ( maybe also learning some market forces) but it leads to severe degradation in artistic practice of which person original desire cultivate even not realizing that just because is no business need for anything like that. Bus sines can be fine by just coping that everyone else doing or implementing some one else vision.

Winamp been really unique, probably because they able to combine that unique design with very practical UX. Even when better players released a lot of users got hard times to switch because of UI, visualizations, skins...

It was also much "bigger" on the earlier screens, because the resolution just wasn't there (I remember finally getting a 1024x768 screen for Windows 95).

OSS projects usually has culture which adopting quality aimed development practices much faster that commercial projects (because of cost of adoption) so it looks like same concerns eventually will hit other kind of projects.

unlikely, FOSS is mostly driven by zero-cost maintenance but AI tools needs money to burn. So only few FOSS project will receive sponsored tools and some definitely reject to use by ideological reasons (for example it could be considered as poison pill from copyright perspective).

>With AWS the knowledge is at least transferable

unfortunately it lot of things in AWS that also could be messed up so it might be really hard to research what is going on. For example, you could have hundreds of Lambdas running without any idea where original sources and how they connected to each-other, or complex VPCs network routing where some rules and security groups shared randomly between services so if you do small change it could lead to completely difference service to degrade (like you were hired to help with service X but after you changes some service Y went down and you even not aware that it existed)

Not much different from how it worked in companies I used to work for. Except the situation was even worse as we had no api or UI to probe for information.

probably more beneficial for business not for a users.
