I really like the "macOS" look. I really like this project is adopting
it for BSD!

Looks amazing.  Would love an arm image for my Raspberry Pi 4!

I believe there is a barely functional Wine-like userspace "emulator"
for Mach binaries.

>Pipewire: Solution in search of a problem you don't have without
Wayland?


Pipewire actually goes way beyond that. It helps tremendously in
general sound playback (PulseAudio tends to have huge problems with
stuff like sampling rate and other stuff that needs to be manually
configured), and sound recording, especially ALSA/JACK locking up your
entire sound even if the program using it is not playing anything.


GIMP should also not be considered for dropping, IMO, because it has,
at least for now, quite a different goal in mind than Krita. Right now
it's definitely not great as an all around Photoshop - like editor.

This is really cool, I like how they're trying to distance themselves
from the mess of XDG and Freedesktop.
