    Can people stop hating on shit?

    FOR FUCKS SAKE, negative reinforcement dopamine has RUINED THE FUCKING NET.

    EVERYWHERE I GO there’s someone bitching about something, hate circlejerks are unbelievably popular, people just love to hate on stuff.

    You’re ruining your thought patterns with all these social media negativity bullshit.

    Fucking TOML users hate on fucking YAML fucking C++ users hate Rust fucking Rust users hate literally everything under the sun and are insufferable to work with

    EVERYONE, fucking CHILL





  • You have a gross misunderstanding of what a display fucking system should do. X11 nowadays provides the same thing to apps as Wayland, except some bad design hacks that have become fundamental to writing Linux apps that are essentially workarounds for X11 sucking badly.

    NOBODY uses X11’s font system or widget system or vector system nowadays. X11 provides you with a render plane and some other bullshit and the toolkit does the rest.

    Which is the same as Wayland. Except Wayland actually has a properly designed and standardized way of doing things through the extension system, as in X11 everything is cobbled together from hacks.

    A good example is absolute window positioning. Wayland doesn’t have it because it’s been found that it wasn’t actually really needed, people did things that way because something that’s essentially a clever hack had become the de facto standard on X11. Same thing with how X11 apps do window captures.

    Generally, Wayland is a great leap in Linux desktop system. We’re catching up to what MacOS and Windows did 20 fucking years ago.



  • Programs not designed for Linux somehow manage to run on a completely different operating system through something I can only explain as fucking technological black magic, and you’re wondering that it doesn’t work quite like it’s native environment? The fact that this is even possible is incredible

    Go make the game devs release a proper Linux version and we won’t have those issues anymore
