Yes, I made it using a laptop's trackpad, how could you tell?
[Image description: Panel 1: Young man confidently walking, his vest bears the Wayland logo. Behind him is a grunt with the Gnome logo on his face holding a katana. The young man says: "It's high time you retire, old man!" Panel 2: An old man with a long beard and the Xorg logo on his chest is sitting on a throne and petting a rat, the XFCE mascot. He says: "It's still a hundred years too early for you to defeat me!" ]
It's the systemd drama all over again
No.
System D was/Is a philosophical debate.
Wayland vs X is a mortal attempting to summit Mt. Everest naked. Everyone is cheering Wayland on, no one believes it'll succeed.
Even the X people are like "Honestly it'd be a relief if you pulled this off, we're so tired, please end us"
No one thinks it'll succeed? Obviously you and I exist in very different parts of the linux sphere, cause I'm pretty sure X11 is all but dead as a project and its kinda just a question of how long it takes for Wayland to be feature complete enough to reach a critical mass of adoption. And its kinda feeling like we're currently on the cusp of being there with the major DEs moving towards discontinuing X11 support 😅
That's a weird take. You have a software that you use and suits your needs. It's showing its age, but still tricks along. Then there's this other software that's gaining spotlight, but it does not suit all your needs. You point out the regression. Some rando makes fun of your valid point.
I agree with what you're saying, but you're shifting the goalpost.
That parent comment (and other comments like it in these threads) are what I take issue with. You can make the exact same argument why people should stick with Windows and not bother with Linux.
But.. You didn't take issue with that. You ridicularized a completely different statement, one that was valid even. You pulled a reverse strawman on yourself. If you'd made a counterpoint to original post, I'd have agreed with you.
X is 36 years old. Wayland is 15. Wayland was not the first attempt at unseating that throne and for the sake of all our sanity, I hope it's the last. I don't want Wayland to win because it's better, I want Wayland to win because I'm tired of trying to use it and having to go back to X because it broke something.
Sounds like a skill issue to me
Uhhmm. I think by now most see it inevitable with distros and DEs switching on increasing pace
What the fuck is “System D”?
Let me google that for you
google?
Let me quack that for you then
Is that the word for using Duckduckgo? I figured it'd be "duckduckgoing", like "I just duckduckwent systemd". Anyway, I use searx, so I'd obviously say "I searxed".
Quacking is just way better haha
I think that was an attempt to call me out for giving zero fucks about Android spellcheck dicking with my comment.
No for not searching it up yourself lol
