For what it's worth, I regularly switch depending on what I'm doing (AwesomeWM for X11 and Hyprland for Wayland)

If you're fine with Wayland, go with Wayland. There are lots of reasons still that people might prefer X11 but the list has been getting shorter.

  • The security model of Wayland is more restrictive than necessary for many users and means things like screen sharing and desktop toys are harder and not universally implemented or doable.
  • Wayland effectively requires many things to be handled by the same process, preventing traditional modular environments (e.g. separating window manager from compositor no longer possible)
  • Explicit compositor support required for more features, meaning having a feature complete environment in small projects is much harder, and the design of Wayland tends to promote a few large desktop environments rather than many small window managers.
  • NVidia's support for Wayland is still improving
  • Wayland can't rotate your screen to be on an angle to maximise the length of a line
  • Several programs I rely on don't support Wayland well yet
    • Steam doesn't stream from Wayland
    • Transparent bits of FreeCAD show the background instead of what's behind them
    • Code-OSS required a very silly workaround for decent font rendering, although I think this might have been fixed in electron

Mono is owned by WineHQ

And there are other tools that use the same database format. I use keepassDX and keepassXC

You can also do that in Tubular, if you prefer a FOSS option

Catima can also handle pkpass (Apple wallet) files now, although last I checked it chokes on "pkpasses", the zipped collective version

How about Usenet (1980)?

Mozilla doesn't run Thunderbird

I really hope this doesn't impact the client too significantly. A substantial part of why I use Thunderbird is to keep out of these "ecosystems".

In essence keepass is an open database format and a bunch of different software tools have been written to interact with it. You can quite happily share the same keepass database between different software, e.g. synced between desktop and mobile

You might want to wait until after the May election to see whether Australia is immune to the rise of fascism.

You don't happen to know what whereabouts in legislation that's detailed, do you?

Neither is Maya, the listed Autodesk product which Blender directly (and somewhat successfully) competes against.

FreeCAD covers a lot of ground, but is most comparable to Inventor from the Autodesk suite. I still think Inventor wins out but FreeCAD has made leaps and bounds recently.
