About this episode

The episode discusses the inevitability of Wayland adoption, the impact of AI on RAM prices, and addresses listener feedback.

Coming up in this episode Wayland is inevitable... RAM is now Unobtanium and a Linux User Space OS? Today in User Space, we RE-remind everyone that Wayland is certainly the only way forward for the big dogs. Gnome had adopted a Wayland-only stance quite a while ago, and now it looks like Plasma will be following suit. Then, we dive into the wonderful world of Everything terrible that AI is doing to us in the form of RAM price hikes (as much as 500%... so far). And finally, we hit up the feedback that's been piling up! There's a little more to get to eventually, but it'll all get there since we went a little long in this episode. 0:00 Cold Open 1:05 Wayland Is Inevitable... 26:53 RAM Is Now Unobtanium 49:54 The LUS Mailbag 50:19 Mailbag: Daniel 57:40 Mailbag: schemage2210 1:03:19 Mailbag: ewanmarshall 1:10:13 Mailbag: michaelchalmers 1:15:26 Next Time 1:23:08 Stinger The Video Version https://youtu.be/dyfMTBn7AoM 📣Announcements📣 This program was made possible by: 📺️ Youtube 📽️ TILvids And by contributions to your L-U-S station by Patrons like you 😍 Plasma is all in on Wayland KDE blog post We shouted back in 2023 on Season 4 Episode 5 The Steam Deck which runs on KDE Plasma…
