I’ve seen your comments. I get it, you hate video games, young people and Gabe Newell. Do you need to bring it up at any opportunity? How do you even connect this to the wayland vs. Xorg disussion?
BTW’ing I think they call it.
How out of touch can you get?
It sucks to maintain so much that almost no one wants to do it. The amount of technical suckage within xorg really cannot be overstated. It sucks in a lot of “consumer-facing” ways too, but we’ve had decades to learn to live with all of the quirks and hacky workarounds. Now that wayland compositors are in a usable state, people are beginning to notice the missing features as well (like HDR for example).
It’s your setup and if it works then that’s fine. I just can’t help commenting on these kinds of posts where the OP shares their thinly disguised opinion as a “shitpost” because they get downvoted when they do so in an unironic way.
Actually you can have xorg. There’s really not a lot of people left who really want it (the original developers least of all). Maybe you could even be the one to put in the insane effort required to make it not suck complete shit.
Well you can’t put them here if they’re supposed to be secret can you?
Shoko + shokofin is a great solution for anime, but if you get most of your stuff from streaming sources you might have to manually link almost everything (or add it to AniDB). I could be wrong and it wouldn’t hurt to check first with some of your catalogue. You could even just log into AniDB and look at the releases for an anime you have, maybe compare file hashes or test it with shoko desktop if that still exists.
I don’t know if it is. The tweet message seems to be the only sexist part of this equation and yet people are overanalyzing the shit out of that picture.
I haven’t heard about all of these flatpak malware incidents.
Unfortunately it’s more of a poorpocalypse, which is why I find this attitude morally reprehensible, even though I don’t have a particularly positive opinion about the average US citizen.

Where does this myth come from that Plex is secure to share over the open internet?
Omg it’s HE MANDALDRIAN! Hi!

Get in the fucking PC braixen.
It is, but suboptimal driving behaviour of your fellow drivers is never an excuse to consciously make road traffic even more dangerous or behave aggresively.
For all intents and purposes I don’t have a desktop. It’s just a wallpaper and canvas for the actual workflow. The app drawer is one keypress away, as is the terminal (and I prefer to have separate sessions for different tasks anyway). I usually see my desktop for about five seconds after bootup per day so there’s not much reason to put anything else there. Think of it like the wallpaper or black background of a tiling window manager. I really don’t get how this is such a crazy idea to some people. I’ve subconsciously used the exact same workflow since before Gnome even implemented it, just without explicit support from my desktop environment.
Probably, yeah? I mean I’d hope they’re not still using Gnome if desktop icons are their one wish in life…
Whatever floats your boat. I’m using my keyboard probably 90% of the time and hitting super and typing in one to three letters followed by enter is the fastest way for me to navigate to pretty much anything including system settings and documents. Finding stuff on a desktop with more than a dozen icons is annoying to me. I move windows and switch focus with the standard keyboard shortcuts etc. It’s a familiar workflow for tiling WM users and works that way out of the box, yet Gnome has been catching shit for it since v3. It used to be the disgruntled Gnome 2 userbase but nowadays it seems to be mostly people who don’t use Gnome at all lol.
Icons on the desktop is a non-feature for most gnome users. Even my Windows desktop has been empty since XP released. If you really want desktop icons then using an extension for that should be fine, but it’s silly to frame this as a failing of the “Gnome people” just because Gnome doesn’t replicate the classic Windows desktop experience.

I’m sorry, but that’s not how you come across, at least to me. I can understand not liking Gabe and I can even understand not liking Valve, but your complaints about their incluence on the Linux ecosystem seem entirely unwarranted.
I’m sure speaking in riddles doesn’t help, but I think I understand what you’re saying. Valves decision to use Arch as an upstream distro makes complete sense to me. They would want pick and choose from reasonably up-to-date packages, roll their own kernel and make use of some of the community effort to facilitate gaming on Linux.
The wave of popularity for Arch got memed into existence a while ago. Long before wayland was even a viable alternative. Of course the communities suffered some collateral damage in the form of noobs, but that’s not a new thing either. Most mainstream distros have had these kinds of issues for a long time. You’re not going to be able to blame Valve for that. Phoronix is a poor example imho, that site has always been full of idiots and not moderating the forums has opened the gates for all kinds of lunatics. Ever read the forums under a piece of news about Rust? It’s a lot of very opionionated idiots who know extremely little about programming. What about the arch forums? They’ve been reasonably helpful and knowledgeable for the longest time, yet they are part of “BTWland”, no?
I’m not impressed by the technology choices of businesses and public infrastructure. Most of it uses Windows anyway for some godforsaken reason. I know you’re being dramatic, but even if X was just yanked out of existence, for the purposes of digital signage or other such extremely basic computing tasks it really shouldn’t be such an issue to switch to something else. Most issues would probably crop up on Linux workstations, running a bunch of software through XWayland. The vast majority of Linux computers however, don’t need a display server.
