    @rl_dane @darth @raster I'll be happy Wayland is in BSD when Wayland is AODA compliant in one Linux.

      @rl_dane @raster @darth this. My sister still remembers circa 2003 when I set up her desktop with FreeBSD πŸ˜‚ And it’s gotten a bit easier since then.

        @rl_dane @darth GhostBSD is a neat, unfortunately it gave me some issues when tested on my old pc.
        And MidnightBSD.
        Recently I have some new hardware where put on an OS, and will be good testing machine to set up it again.

        But I remember there were other efforts that didn't gone for long for a reason or another, and this gave some fame BSD and desktop don't stay much along.
        Eh, a desktop distro is just stacking X/Wayland+DE, but I can understand where this myth came from.

          @rl_dane @raster @darth #nomadbsd seems to be a bit dead which is a real shame.

            @rl_dane @silverwizard @darth Slow adoption isn't much a choise. Companies and software can do FOSS thing, but in the details, they do like only Linux exists; or like for some hardware, the documentation and the rest has some stuff that don't cover.
            It's an uphill battle.

              @silverwizard @darth @rl_dane Asking Red Hat to do something that isn't convulted, impossible.

              At least Pipewire on Linux doesn't seems so bad, now if only the audio system itself would not be like an hanoi tower that catfight on the control of your audio volume.

                @raster @rl_dane @darth RedHat and Canonical are the cause of my desktop BSD usage πŸ˜„

                  @rl_dane @darth @raster yep. And it means that using most desktop linux is illegal in Europe, right as we're trying to get governments to move off Windows.

                    @rl_dane @darth @raster both statements are true. Windows accessibility *is* better, and there's supportefd augmentations. But Wayland makes some kinds of accessibility *impossible* at a technical level.

                      @rl_dane @raster @darth I really like #NomadBSD, but I think it's dead. No releases in 2025 and 2026.
