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.

Two passwords are better than one on encrypted systems that have multiple users. No disagreement. While it is an extra step it can be solved when you add the second user.
