The comment above is wrong. OnlyOffice is available under both Foss (Community Edition) and proprietary (Enterprise Edition) licenses. The proprietary version is paid and offers some additional features like extended support.

OnlyOffice is open source and Latvia based.

The main problems with gaming on x11 are:

1. Screen tearing. You can check YouTube for how it looks.

2. Latency in x11 is significantly higher.

3. HDR support. X11 does not support HDR. But I doubt you laptop supports it either.

I do not believe that problems 1 and 2 affect minecraft that much. They are mostly prominent in games like first-person-shooter and alike.

Also, note that Minecraft itself does not support wayland. This means that it would run under x11 that would run under wayland (with both x11 and Wayland problems combined).

I am not sure that using Wayland is your best choice here. Based on laptop specs it is not like you are going to game on it. And for web and office tasks x11 still offers a better experience. On Wayland you would have problems with things like scaling, screen capturing etc. They are (to some extend) solvable, but are tricky to fix, especially with your lack of terminal experience.

Also I would not care that much for cutting-edge repositories. They are usually required for support of the new hardware (which of cause is not the case here).

Also, almost all modern DE are somewhat the same in terms of resource consumption. Some are a bit heavy (for example Cinnamon is heavier than xfce) but the difference if almost negligible. The majority of resources would be consumed by a browser, not DE. If you still wish to have the lightest DE possible, than you are limited to LXQT. XFCE nowadays is not as light as it used to be. You can have a very good performance with window managers like openbox and alike. For panel you can use polybar, tint or whatever. But that would require some configuration from you. Such setup is available in MX Linux. I suggest you to take a look at that distro, it is kinda good for old laptops. Of cause, standalone Wayland compositors (sway, hyprland, labwc, wayfire etc.) are very good, but they would require you to do a lot configuration work to set everything working. Even distros that ship them preinstalled (like Fedora Sway spin, for example) have somewhat broken defaults.

I doubt it. Today there is a huge trend towards censorship in the world. And ECH is exactly what a censor would not want. It is already blocked in Russia after Cloudflare enabled it by default and I would expect it to be blocked in the west “for anti-piracy reasons” very soon.

Zig has other selling points, that are arguably more suitable for system programming. Rust’s obsession with safety (which is still not absolute even in rust) is not the only thing to consider.

Zig is indeed designed specifically for such tasks as system programming and interoperability with C code. However it is not yet ready for production usage as necessary infrastructure is not yet done and each new version introduces breaking changes. Developers recomend waiting version 1.0 before using it in any serious project.

Does it require to be enabled at compilation, or it can be toggled at any time?

Works fine for me.

I doubt it. It is basically equivalent to buying a proprietary software license for 1% of a revenue. I doubt any large business would be willing to spend that much on a single piece of software. And it would always be only one piece of software at a time.

He already has the overhead of maintaining to C libraries, which is a lot bigger problem.

I wouldn’t recomend testing any software for glibc system on a musl system.

“dinit”

It boots faster than openRC (which is painfully slow). But runit is a lot faster than systemd, and there are init systems even faster than runit. And they all already work with musl. There is even dinit system specifically designed for containers.

Systemd bloats the container a lot more than glibc.

While I do appreciate the effort, I cannot understand, who in their right mind would use musl and systemd together. For what purpose? If a person was already willing to manage a musl system, why wouldn’t he also prefer sysVinit or runit or whatever?

Firefox is not done. It just became spyware, but all the forks can still benefit from FOSS license of Firefox. In the same manner as Vivaldi or Brave or Ungoogled chromium etc.

Librewolf, Waterfox, Mullvad, Floorp…

If xmpp and matrix are included, why not include email?
