Linux is the reason Windows apps are bloated these days
@kirk781 no, it is not because of linux support. It's only because managers hiring web developers instead of desktop apps developers. Because.. managers do not see real difference, but see some stylish web design.
Microsoft ruined cross-platform desktop apps many years ago in early WPF/Sliverlight/XAML era by ceasing Moonlight project:

https://web.archive.org/web/20120716033915/http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/moonlight-list/2011-December/001392.html
So there is no reason to blame Linux that we do not have modern cross-platfrom toolkit for GUI apps.
Microsoft decided to make new XAMP/UWP incompatible with classic widgets GUI and kill classic GUI in WinRT/Win8 era, Microsoft decided to make XAML GUI Windows-only and cease mono developement entirely, not providing any GUI supportt

>On nix os, blender doesn’t want to render anything after waking from sleep (may be a blender issue.)
seems to be cuda issue. On my machine cuda sometimes refusing to work after sleep, requiring some 'node restart'
Might be fixed by disabling modeset (nvidia-drm modeset=0), or by blocking display server from using nvidia drm node (if display output does not use nvidia)

What's your favourite OS that does not use systemd?
Reply in thread
@Gork @nutbutter just look at /proc/1/maps on systemd-powered system :)
I do not see any reason keeping all of this in init. It might be implemented in optional lightweight services, not in single monster-binary

I love systemd
@pewgar_seemsimandroid systemd has a lot of really good things...
But it's too complex for init process and even too complex for service manager. Many solib dependencies causes long start, big memory footprint and possibe security issues. Many things might be implemented in some separate services, running with restricted permissions and optionally disabled.
initng was very similar to systemd, but was very simple and very much faster

>xwayland-satellite
does not implement anything, just glues xwayland to session
phoenix and yserver might be good Xwayland alternative, not Xorg/xf86, because Xorg is mostly about DDX drivers and it's only way to use 2d acceleration on old hardware (which is deprecated, but still might be useful)
