Thanks for your kind words. :) I see what you mean, but I don't think there's such a thing as an unbiased text. What we chose to talk and focus is already biased. And that's OK. What seems odd, in my opinion, is pretending we're impartial when in fact we simply can't -- the press, for instance. It doesn't imply, as you said, that by being biased we're adding false information.
> Yes, there are still some inconsistencies with GTK3 and GTK4+Libadwaita, but that is expected, if you update your toolkit from one major version to another.
My main point with this article is criticizing a final release with all these issues. Worse than that: pretending it's a good product when in fact it's worse than previous versions in many objective ways.
> Sure there are maybe some bugs and/or leftovers from the GTK3-GTK4 transition, but same as above, it will be fixed sometime.
The fact that you accept that is exactly what I talked about in this other article: https://medium.com/@fulalas/how-bullshit-has-dominated-the-t...
> systemd is standard for linux
It's not standard. It's just the most popular because people are lazy and keep imitating each other. Although it seems fine to have systemd as an option, it's ridiculous to have it as a hard dependency.
> Webkitgtk is installed on every GNOME-Desktop for other things
Apart from distros that ship Epiphany browser, what else do distros use WebKit2Gtk for?
> But calling it "dubious" is not that appropriate, as they always have a sense.
It's dubious because it's a huge library that takes 1 hour to build and all this just for one silly feature. And again: there's no official way to simply not have it.
> GDM isn't coupled to systemd AFAIK
Just take a look at GDM meson build script and you'll see: systemd_dep = dependency('systemd') libsystemd_dep = dependency('libsystemd')
The fact that you're running it on a non-systemd distro is probably due to an unofficial patch (just like the one I applied in Slackware/Porteus).
