Debian's APT package manager will have a "hard requirement" on Rust from May 2026. This move may make some rather big waves.

Yup, guess I am :) ... for now.

I have tried Wayland a few times over the past few years, probably bad luck on my part with what systems/chipsets I've had every time, that it hasn't been a great experience. But I have read it's getting there, so I expect someday I'll just switch and not really notice the difference there.

As for systemd... yeah I'll be "a wierdo" for the foreseeable future I suppose. Good ol' sysV init scripts, or openrc, have always, and still do, work well enough for me.
