From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nobody is forcing you to use Wayland. Just take up the mantle of maintaining X11 yourself, because nobody is forced to keep that alive either.

Schizo post

Wayland shills call everyone names but the moment anyone criticises it they call everyone they don't like a bigot, get them cancelled and stop any discussion about the negatives of wayland. Why are they so insistent on forcing everyone to adopt an unfinished product? It's almost like a big corporation with a hat wants to sabotage the linux desktop.

Why did you create an account just to ragebait? What do you gain out of this?

[+] logifad501@sh.itjust.works -6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I create an account once the previous one gets banned by moderators who get their feelings hurt. I do not create them for specific purpose.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You get banned cuz you post dumb useless shit like this. Take your meds bro

No, there are legit red hat employees moderating instances. This is similar to reddit's linux subreddit too. They ban anything anti red hat and use dirty practices like censorship and vote manipulation. Most people are not aware of this and blindly advocate for them.

Maybe your accounts get banned because you post ragebait stuff?

Reposting my other reply. There are legit red hat employees moderating instances. This is similar to reddit's linux subreddit too. They ban anything anti red hat and use dirty practices like censorship and vote manipulation. Most people are not aware of this and blindly advocate for them.

wayland solved a vsync issue i had with firefox

obs works with full screen capture on wlroots and also with per-window capture on kde and gnome
redshift is for xorg. use gammastep on wayland instead

I slowly start to believe that sh.itjust.works needs to be defederated. I've been seeing too many idiots on that instance lately.

[–] logifad501@sh.itjust.works -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hahhahaha here we observe a red hat shill in the wild advocating for censorship. I have no words to say.

Do you mean "red hat" for RHEL or USA republicans?

[–] peterg75 1 points 1 year ago

As a rebuttal for this, I installed KDE with Wayland on my EndeavourOS and you know what? It's super comfy and good! Explain yourself! Are you just a Luddite?
