  • Is there something you lack in Wayland but have in xorg?

  • If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it's a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn't happen with X11.

  • Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary.

    China hasn't been communist in a long time.

  • You're misinformed. It's okay to admit when you're wrong.

  • All the Firefox forks are pretty much dead as well.

    Firedragon and LibreWolf seem to be pretty healthy. I've been using LW daily for over a year and FD daily for 1-2 years before that.

  • What do you mean by "actually work in the real world"? I can go on GitHub right now and fork a project within 5 minutes. So can you. It works.

  • Trademark. Not copyright. And the part that is covered is Mickey.

    This could also be covered under copyright, since the only Mickey that went into public domain is the one from Steamboat Willie, not this one. I'm not a lawyer, though.

  • I'm going to post this thread anytime I get some random screaming about how Linux is soooo much easier than Windows.

    What a ridiculous straw man. I don't think I've ever heard anybody promote Linux but claiming that it's easier than Windows.

    This bullshit is the number 1 detractor of adoption.

    That's a trend I've noticed from Linux critics: they had some bad experience due to a use case that they didn't feel was properly catered to, and because they had a bad experience, that's the reason why more people aren't choosing Linux.

    I've never used mouse gestures. I'm willing to bet most users don't. People aren't picking up Linux and going "Aaarrrgghhh! This sucks, because I can't program my mouse gestures!" This sounds like a power user feature. Catering to power users so that they don't badmouth you online is not a good UX design strategy.

  • Meanwhile the vast majority of users couldn't care less, and just want to play games, browse the web, and chat with friends, all of which is completely functional in Wayland and has been for a while.

    The last couple of times I tried Wayland, it broke my desktop so badly that I couldn't even use it.

    Granted, that was "a while" ago, so my experience might be better now, but it's made me very wary of it.

  • What's funny is that Disney built their empire largely on public-domain works (such as fairy tales), but when it's their turn to give back, they fight it tooth and nail. Classic getting to the top and then pulling up the ladder behind you.

  • It's traditional to play lots of video games. Trust me on this one.

  • My brain immediately started singing "Where are the plows? There ought to be plows".

  • Except that "draw 25" isn't a metaphor, it's just using a different meaning of the word "draw".

  • One word: ergonomics.

    With Dvorak, the most commonly-used letters are on the home row. In fact, all of the vowels are on the home row.

    The most common letter in English is E, and QWERTY makes you reach for it. You know what IS on the home row? Fuckin' semicolon! Can you even remember the last time you used a semicolon?

    I spend a lot of time at work sitting, so I'd rather have a comfortable chair than an uncomfortable chair. Same with my keyboard: I'd rather have a comfortable layout than an uncomfortable one. Less risk of repetitive strain injury, too.

  • Some people like vim the way it is. That's why they haven't re-invented it. If you want to use a more intuitive text editor, there are plenty available (such as nano or micro).They don't need to turn vim into a clone of something that already exists.

    As for why it's still the default... It's the same reason why everybody uses QWERTY keyboards when Dvorak is clearly superior. People already know how to type with QWERTY and they don't want to take the time to re-learn with a new layout, change their workflows, etc.

    It isn't universal, though. Garuda Linux defaults to micro. The web dev boot camp I was in didn't bring vim up at all! We only used nano! I think that was a disservice to the students, but the instructors must've thought that it would be too confusing.

  • In most apps, Ctrl-X means "cut", not "quit". Especially when it's a freakin' text editor!

    I will grant you that it's more intuitive than vi, but that is a very, very low bar.
