Better file managers? in c/[email protected]

I know this doesn't help but I think the file picker is by far the worst feature Linux has ever had. And our opinions are quite common among Linux users.

Better file managers? in c/[email protected]

It isn't actually a file manager. It is called a "file picker" and has been a reason to rant as long as I can remember, so close to a decade.

Format drive if wrong decryption key is prompted? (sopuli.xyz)
 

Is there a possibility to make Linux install automatically delete the data if wrong decryption key is set x amount of times?

Would be nice too, if it started automatically to overwrite the data too even full disk overwrite takes a lots of time.

I tried to google docs, but I don't know the right words.

Is Systemd that bad afterall? (sopuli.xyz)

SystemD is blamed for long boot times and being heavy and bloated on resources. I tried OpenRC and Runit on real hardware (Ryzen 5000-series laptop) for week each and saw only 1 second faster boot time.

I'm old enough to remember plymouth.service (graphical image) being the most slowest service on boot in Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. But I don't see that as an issue anymore. I don't have a graphical systemD boot on my Arch but I installed Fedora Sericea and it actually boots faster than my Arch despite the plymouth (or whatever they call it nowadays).

My 2 questions:

  1. Is the current SystemD rant derived from years ago (while they've improved a lot)?
  2. Should Linux community rant about bigger problems such as Wayland related things not ready for current needs of normies?
