For knowledge and awareness about what using Linux is really like and pointing at its cultish toxic community. We also cover FOSS /FLOSS failures, and issues with GPL since it relates to Linux. Moderation is heavy handed to appeal to our target users.

Rules:

FOSS (especially GPL) advocates and Linux (specifically GNU/Linux) evangelists aren't welcome (GNU Hurd will count as Linux). -We ask that you block us and we will perma-ban for violations of this rule.
Try to stay on topic (that is LINUXSUCKS!). No bashing other OSs or each other. We aim for a cohesive non-toxic community with the interest of cautioning people / would be victims from Linux. At our discretion, we will remove what we consider pollution.
Moderators run the sub, not the users. It's not democratic, and we don't care how you think it should be run. -Feel free to make and run your own community.
"Not your Billboard" -Over-represented companies will have positive posts removed and appropriate bans may be issued. -Those companies included so far will be Valve/Steam/Proton, Google, and Brave (browser).

FreeBSD would not have the same "plain‑text password" issue with Hyprland (or other TWMs) (lemmy.world)

The problem on Linux is about missing desktop services, not Hyprland itself. (It's always Linux fault)

On Linux, Hyprland is only a Wayland compositor. -It does not provide GNOME Keyring, KDE Wallet, Secret Service DBus API, Polkit agents, or Portal helpers. Apps expect a Secret Service provider (Chromium, VSCodium, Steam, Slack, etc.). What you get is "feature not supported on this OS" behavior.

Many Linux apps that store secrets simply aren't used the same way on FreeBSD. FreeBSD avoids the problem by not having the ecosystem that causes it.

If an app does try to use Secret Service on FreeBSD:

It won’t find a provider
It won’t fall back to plaintext
It will either:
- store nothing
- store encrypted data in its own format
- or disable the feature entirely

FreeBSD’s security defaults are stricter because it doesn't try to emulate Linux's keychain behavior.
