Eh, it's not that simple... There's a windowing system on Linux, and an old punk band from LA, and a whole generation...
Running away from the X windowing system might not be that bad though ๐
Unix Blasphemy!!
I do love X though (not the Twitter rebrand - Motif for life!!). A simple X program is/was so portable, but I guess not many people care anymore.
But for some stupid reason, most Linux users have nvidia, which doesn't play well with Wayland (or X, for that matter...)
Not to mention the phrase, X marks the spot.
Also, how am I going to look for MDMA pills in the late 90s US?
It's not a perfect solution, no, but it's a solution.
Personally, none of those would hold me back, but to each their own.
