so i could not figure out why zoom version 5.15.x up to around 5.15.7 or so would run in native wayland mode and work fine on my wayland compositor, while later versions would insist on running in xwayland mode and gently caress up the UI and be completely unusable. i thought i was missing some environment variable or something when invoking the zoom binary.

on a hunch i traced the getenv/setenv library calls when running the /opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher binary from newer versions and this bastard is overwriting the QT_QPA_PLATFORM environment variable to "xcb" before invoking the main zoom binary. arrrrgh i'm so loving mad

who cares? shrinking filesystem's is inherently risky, probably slow and storage is cheap. If for some reason you need to shrink its simpler and safer to just copy to a new smaller partition anyway

google image searched the systemd bsod to see what it looked like and the first result was a site called "LULZ" where people were arguing over whether gentoo was better than systemd based distros because it had runit or whether it was worse because of "Google tr---ies", plus watching linux poo poo on youtube leads to recs for youtubers with moeblob/pepe thumbnails who hate systemd and also want you to know about their awful reactionary politics

the devuan weirdos who hack the systemd dependencies out of their debian fork call themselves "Veteran Unix Admins", they are absolutely hearkening back to a nostalgic and mythological past (where linux systems could be reliably booted with a pile of buggy shell scripts) and believe the changes today are being forced on them by outsiders

the debian project periodically has a developer vote about systemd (e.g. https://www.debian.org/vote/2019/vote_002_results.png) that the systemd detractors lose and some of them rage quit the project, because an issue they cared about was decided by a democratic vote and they lost and they couldn't handle that

the early incarnation of systemd "upset" me for like a month, not because I have weird hate boner for lennart or an inability to adapt, but just because anything you've been doing in one particular way for 20 years that flips on you is, naturally, a bit of a jolt. but then I learned it and realized it was cool and good and now lol in the general direction of sysv init on the rare occasion I see it. welp, that's my systemd story

in other systemd news, systemd defaults are often insanely loving stupid. a friend of mine is having issues with losing desktop sessions or having konsole windows just disappear at work. i've also had a konsole disappear once or twice on me last year despite having 64gb ram and 64gb swap, but i was doing stupid poo poo with my pc at the time so i didn't think much of it, at work it's all been working fine

he finally tracked it down to this
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/25376

apparently, if you run oom (because you accidentally ran teams or similar in a chrome tab like some maniac), kernel will, naturally, kill chrome

but then systemd will also notice you ran out of oom and start killing the entire process tree that caused the OOM, often up to and including the x/wayland session/login manager. why? nobody knows lmfao

there's systemd-oomd that already exists (and that one kicks in before kernel reaper and has, allegedly, better logic for it so it's not just a stupid redundancy), but systemd apparently also has that feature duplicated now and it's not documented on how it works or how to disable it lol

gentoo's kde team finally added kde 6 / plasma 6 live packages, so there's some compiling going on over here!

really looking forward to a new wayland experience, hope it'll be worthwhile.

seems like there's some mixing of qt5 and qt6 packages still, a chunk of kde-apps/* isn't ported to qt6 yet so it seems you need to run a frankenstein of qt5 and qt6 while support are added

I did an in-place upgrade to systemd on an arch linux box back in the day, which was far, far more work than reinstalling from scratch, so I can understand why those guys are bitter, but I blame arch linux not systemd
