So I don’t even use systemd myself I run OpenRC. Yet honestly I find the idea quite intriguing, having the service manager (PID 1) invoke the command seems like a cool idea to me.
It’s not really a sudo alternative as much as it is another way of doing something similar.
Hello I am using crunchbang plus plus on a dell/wyse 5470 thin client and I want to add a OpenBox menu item to turn on and off my wireguard vpn with the sudo wg-quick up wg0 and sudo wg-quick down wg0 commands...
Alternatively you can launch sudo inside a terminal window. For example with xterm: xterm -e sudo [some command][some arguments] *[…]*This will pop up a terminal window to type your password in.
Pretty sure almost all terminal emulators have a similar argument.
Wayland is a Display Server Protocol, meaning it is a specification of how a program wanting to display something like a window communicates with another program, the display server, which handles drawing to the screen.
It matters because it vastly simplifies and modernizes display server infrastructure.
X is huge, with many parts from the 80s and 90s that were simply not needed today, creating a fully compliant X Server with all extensions was pretty much impossible, which is the reason pretty much only X.org existed as a full implementation.
Some benefits for users are no screen tearing, VRR and support for more complicated setups like having multiple monitors all with a different refresh rate, which was a pain in the ass on X but is no problem on wayland.
X is going to die, especially with the fact that frredesktop and the two big DEs, GNOME and KDE are working on it. Some distros come with wayland by default already.
I run my lemmy instance on a pine64 quartz64 which uses an rk3566. It runs really well and power consumption is totally negligible. Didn’t notice any increase in my power bill since it’s been running.
Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement (outpost.fosspost.org)

What is wayland?
I know I could duckduckgo it, but I think we’re at the stage at lemmy where there’s space to ask basic questions....
