Newbies hating on Flatpak, Wayland, PipeWire, SystemD, and other new stuff that actually works unlike their predecessors because they were told by some racist boomer Linux YouTuber to hate those
What makes linux cool is that there are alternatives for literally anything. The fact that there is a constant debate going and people using all sorts of implementations just means that less of the system becomes a black box and more people are actually looking at and eventually working on the code. This keeps the system alive, and means it hasn't ended up with some rotten filesystem like NTFS or a shitty Registry configuration system like windows.
The most popular distro on distrowatch is MX Linux which uses initV but has ability to run systemd services - but however, initV became 10x faster and more usable because of rewrites that were sparked by the systemd debate.
This is literally pure nerd rage energy being turned into amazing code, and it's beautiful.
Nah flatpak actually sucks (imo). The apps never quite work they way they should out of the box (at least in my experience) and you have to do more work for a full system update
