    I WILL continue to use Xorg. My workflow requires it. If that means I have to use an unmaintained window manager forever, so be it.

    None of this would be an issue if the Wayland developers weren’t so pigheaded that they insist upon forcing their pure, untainted design philosophy onto the project rather than building an inclusive model that allows for backwards compatibility with the system it’s meant to replace.

    Then I’ll make my OWN distro. With blackjack. And hookers.

    Seriously though… I will have NO desktop environment and run terminal only before I will accept Wayland. Either reach feature parity and stop gaslighting me about functionality that has been there in X11 for decades and is a necessary part of my workflow, or back off.

    Keep angrily gaslighting. Surely you’ll EVENTUALLY shame veterans who have been using Linux productively for decades into joining the cult of security over function.

    You come into MY home, into MY workflow, take features away from me that have been there ignoring all protests, then have the sheer unmitigated GALL to mock me when I dare to complain?










  • Maybe we’re all a little flag fatigued, and we don’t need to analyze every behavior of a bunch of jumped up apes on a scorecard of correct and incorrect answers for every decision they make?

    I get that we are all hyper-aware of just how bad it can get if we don’t pay attention to warning signs in 2025, but can’t someone do something a little quirky without it being an indicator of virtue or flaw?
