No joke, this was my main hope for fuschia. I don’t think Linux or the BSDs can compete without a total re-think of their multimedia and GUI stacks (and the needed re-think does not look like Wayland).

I’m no longer too hopeful that Fuscia will be it, with its snail’s-pace development and seemingly having been back-burnered on top of that, but it’s what I’d hoped to get out of it.

Wayland is close to macOS windowing, just like systemd is close to launchd. That’s how open source can approach the competence of macOS, or Windows for that matter.

I hope that open source stays as far as possible from "the competence of macOS, or Windows".

Windows is a PITA to use.

And yet it can render flawless frames and handle background services, just like macOS. The policy choices are sometimes unfortunate, for sure.
