    Someone a short ELI ? I read the article and the comments… But I have no idea what this is about.

    Maybe someone has an article that explains for someone not being educated as computer scientist ?

      DBus is a system-wide messaging system. It’s for stuff like notifications and system-wide events, …or so do I think. But the aim is to allow all programs, running system-wide, to announce anything for others programs to react to.

      This post requests people to use Varlink instead.

      This is similar to the PulseAudio versus Pipewire and X11 versus Wayland situations.
