Iām afraid it will be like with systemd - no chance in the long run because it will receive too little active support from both the developers and distributors who use it in their spins for the amount of work it entails.

I recently came across this on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/1ljpqf5/comment/mzltvox/
Someone wrote a news function and pre-pended their update alias so that it shows any manual intervention notices from arch via execution of the function, prior to running an update.
Edit: I also just learned about informant which may be used as a hook as well, but Iām not that savvy.
At least not for now.
To not much surprise given the lack of activity in recent years, last week they finally and formally discontinued the open-source project.
Shortly after the debut of ChatGPT, academics and technologists started to wonder if the recent explosion in AI models has also created contamination.
Their concern is that AI models are being trained with synthetic data created by AI models. Subsequent generations of AI models may therefore become less and less reliable, a state known as AI model collapse.

will never happen since x11 is being stripped from gnome as soon as gnome 50. And redhat already stripped it from the server side all that have it is the LTS to 2035. Fedora is full steam ahead on purging it from the repos asap too. At the end of the day gnome and kde arnāt even maintaining the x11 side other then system breaking bugs and only after users tell them about it. I can only see it being useful for WM that wont get a wayland spin.

The XLibre case is unusualāand in many ways, unprecedentedāin the Linux world. Thatās because itās not just about technical merit. Instead, it involves people turning something down because of the reputation its developer has built, along with the refusal of certain ātrendsettersā in the Linux space to bring back something theyāve already labeled as obsolete.
Linux is supposed to be all about choice and freedom, right? Or are those just nice-sounding slogans that donāt quite hold up in practice?

Led by Ariadne Conill, one of the original developers behind Alpine Linux, Wayback is written in C and currently links against wlroots 0.19, libwayland ā„ 1.14, libxkbcommon, and the usual Wayland client/server libraries. Based on TinyWL, the projectās long-term goal is to replace Xorg in Alpine, streamlining maintenance while keeping compatibility intact.
Although the project is closely tied to Alpine, it has a real shot at broader adoption, especially if enough developers are interested and involved. I mean, Wayback can become a safety valve for users who still depend on classic X desktops such as Cinnamon, Xfce, LXDE, or fvwm.
That said, it needs to be noted that the project is still in its early experimental phase, and the developers are upfront about its current limitations. Breaking changes and bugs are expected, and users are encouraged to contribute fixes via pull requests rather than just filing bug reports.
Can you trust Microsoft to deliver on its service promises under American political pressure? Ask the EU-based International Criminal Court (ICC) which after it issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes, Trump imposed sanctions on the ICC. Soon afterward, ICCās chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, was reportedly locked out of his Microsoft email accounts. Coincidence? Some think not. Microsoft denies they had anything to do with this.
Peter Ganten, chairman of the German-based Open-Source Business Alliance (OSBA), opined that these sanctions ordered by the US which he alleged had been implemented by Microsoft āmust be a wake-up call for all those responsible for the secure availability of state and private IT and communication infrastructures.ā
