Forking Linux and continuing to do that instead of up streaming is a massive task, especially as time goes by and code similarities drift. It's much better to upstream. This is why fortune 500 companies contribute to the Linux kernel.

The old guard in the Linux kernel have a real stick up their ass against anything not C, despite Linus himself advocating that rust drivers should at least be looked at. It's turned off a lot of new blood doing projects like Asahi because they don't have upstream support so the burden of the project is much too great for a hobbyist endeavor for something that should otherwise be fun and mentally engaging.

Just straight up Bazzite to be honest.

Fedora by itself is too Puritan for stuff not fully foss in their default repos

If only Linux devs weren't so toxic against rust that it drove out talent that was working on Asahi Linux for these devices :V

Vaxry is still pretty ableist, I think he's just better at hiding it now. https://mastodon.social/@acidiclight/115348200226656321

Pipewire-pulse provides compatibility to programs that may not directly support pipewire yet.

Pipewire was developed to be a total drop in replacement to the Pulse audio sound server. It has compatibility layers that allow other things to talk to it.

Edit: debian is not showing pipewire-alsa as a hard dependency of pipewire https://packages.debian.org/trixie/pipewire

Years back this was the case with the Blu R1 phone I had. It had an inbuilt system app that was not removable that would harvest "advertising" data.

I stopped recommending non brand name phones for this reason.

That's just it though. The developers can drop out over time, then some other corp can come in and control it, then close source it.

This is such bad take only because it singles out rust for some weird reason. Tool total rewrites take work regardless of language

I understand the sentiment.

The move to a permissive license opens the door for these tools to possibly become closed source one day.
