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.

    This debate is so fucking stupid. X. Is. Dead.

    Install Wayland, file bug reports, help everyone move into the future.

    X is dead

    Looks like I'm quitting my job because Wayland is the future asshat. How about I just run both X and Wayland on my computer, file bug reports on what doesn't work with Wayland, and continue to use X until they fix it or you pull your head out of your own ass? Whichever comes first.

    Would be a shame if your distro were to stop shipping X11...

    It's Linux. If they switch before all my use cases are working as good as or better than X, I'll just hop to the inevitable fork.

    Most people want to do things not file bug reports and wait months for them to be addressed. X gets security updates as needed and will get such for literally years. X is dead like rock not dead like disco.

    Unfortunately I just want to be able to work though and Wayland keeps hanging and crashing without producing any relevant logging, despite the fact I'm working on an AMD iGPU.

    In the end Wayland and X are tools, if a tool doesn't fit the job it gets replaced. I don't care X is dead, at least it works for me. Probably not the most popular thing to tell around here, but it's what it is.

    Bro, I do file bug reports and even fix things from time to time, Wayland is so broken for me I can’t work. Also, when bug reports are met with “it’s nvidia’s fault” and hostility towards the submitter, that further turns me off from participating.
