  • You could put it into the archinstall script and just never finish the installation if there is no age set. You could also prevent a user from logging into an account that has no age set, this could be achived by modified core packages in the base package.

    My (rather limited) understanding is that Arch can be installed both without the archinstall script and without a user. Also, the rest of your comment covers how stupid it is to require a value anyway since people can put whatever they want.

    Outside of that, it’s all open source. It’s possible to fork and remove the field entirely from an install script, distro, or even systemd itself.

    Nobody can enforce this in the open source world. This is honestly the strongest argument for an open source exemption in these laws. It cannot be enforced on open source OSs.




  • On the contrary, I have a 1440p 120Hz primary monitor and a 4k 60Hz vertical side monitor, and I can only seem to make that setup work with Wayland. I’ve been using only Wayland this whole time as a result.

    As for all your issues with it:

    • I’m able to record my screen just fine with multiple applications. Are you trying to write your own screen recorder, or use existing ones?
    • I have not had any issues with fullscreen. If anything, it works better for me than Windows. (I can’t compare it to X11 because I can’t use X11.)
    • I don’t really understand what you mean by having a clipboard. Do you not have one on Wayland somehow?
    • Hotkeys seem to work for me, so I’m confused here too.
    • I’m not too sure what you mean by “manufacture inputs” but my keyboard supports programmable macros and that works for me, though I believe that works by flashing the keyboard instead of through software.
    • Programs I use often use their own themes regardless of Wayland/X11 so the client-side decorations doesn’t matter nearly as much to me. I would like it to be more consistent, but that’s on both sides (Wayland+application devs) to figure out.

    The rest of these aren’t issues I’ve had to deal with at all, but I can see them coming up. Wayland does have some issues, but nothing I’ve come across that’s major enough to bother me all that much.
