I've been switching between the two a lot lately, primarily tweaking "sway" and "spectrwm" Xorg generally uses less RAM and has way more options as far as window managers go, but I like how Xwayland uses the actual names from the /sys/class/drm/card*-* for the screen names (multiscreen randr stuff), although in Xorg my lid-switching script is considerably simpler since it uses xset for DPMS. There's a reason X11 has been around for so long I guess. I mean I just discovered a window-manager agnostic way of setting my media keys using xbindkeys (which is nice because spectrwm's custom action bindings are bugged and need a reload after every fresh start), and even compton isn't so bad once you learn to use it properly (it was ignoring the documented user config path ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯). I mean don't get me wrong, it's cool as hell that you can literally run "sway" from the command-line, and set the bg and screen positions in a single config line, or that setting transparency in the "foot" terminal is also a single simple setting, but the complexity of Xorg isn't always a bug..

If it's not seen as much, that probably means the green material is heavier than iron. It's less common, but large enough stars can fuse even heavier elements. That's where all those elements on Earth came from in the first place.

Well, I'm no expert, but I know Germany had these MASSIVE tanks (Tigers) during WW2, and the UK/US response was the Sherman tank, these small and fast little suckers, who technically couldn't take them out, so they modified some of them in-field by replacing the turret and changing a few things inside to create the Sherman Firefly, which were these badass tank-killers. Suffice it to say, they made a lot of Shermans..

Chosen people, are you frickin kidding me? Do you know how much land the Arabs have (Palestinians are mostly Arab)? Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The Jews ask for one little plot of land and suddenly everybody starts crying genocide. What the hell happened to all the native Berbers in northern Africa?! All because some random guy claimed they were the illegitimate descendents of Abraham ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

in systemd runlevels are basically just targets (it still sets rc?.d symlinks in /etc akaik) which have services they want and are wanted by, it's the basis for dependency handling plus you get cool security features like syscall filtering, capability limits, user switching, etc

I've gotta admit, it takes a lot of nerve to fork an open source project a bunch of other people put all this time and effort into, change a few lines of JavaScript here and there in the UI, then act like you wrote the damn thing.
