Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Wayland is not killing smaller distributions. Who even came up with that batshit crazy idea?

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Killing is overly dramatic, but it's putting a burden on certain projects if they want to convert to it and not all have the resources to tank it. I don't see Window Maker porting their toolkit to Wayland, for instance.

    But XWayland exists so I don't see what's the fuss.

    My comment was about distributions specifically and those package Wayland since ages.

    Might as well be someone on lemmy since you reposted it here?

    [–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Doesn't mean I agree with it. It's still an interesting topic to discuss IMO, hence the repost.

    I mean you do agree with it, clearly.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    I actually stated in the title I don't.

    [–] steakmeout 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Well that’s confusing because the meme is complaint text with Hulk saying that he sees this as an absolute win and you titled the post “I don’t” which means you don’t see this as absolute win and therefore agree with complaint text in the image.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Yes, I don't see this is as a win at all... what's your point?

    [–] steakmeout 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Which means you agree with the completely false notion that Wayland is killing X, which was my point. Clearly.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

    I don't see what the person wrote in that meme as an absolute win, even it was true.
