This is a rambling of how Wayland supposedly forces everybody to use GNOME, which is BS.

The rant even includes an admission that the author didn’t even know what Wayland was when it was written.

Please add more examples to the list.

How about an example of Wayland forcing me to use GNOME like this rant alleges? I hate GNOME but have been using KDE with Wayland for like two years now.

Hey, all I want is for Linux hardware vendors to stop selling nvidia’s trash!

Is there some law that every modern musician has to cover Wham’s song? Because it sure seems that way.

Because you’re on kbin. I don’t use kbin because of the lack of an API and because of weird bugs like those.

We need election reform. But before anything can be done, people need to get out of their echo chambers and stop denying that “both sides” people exist. Stop taking for granted that everything your chosen team does is 100% right. Start looking at your own side critically. As it is now, the majority of the population is convinced that the other half of the population is a bunch of fascist bootlickers and refuses to listen to anything they have to say, and they take for granted that their side is the only correct choice. Most people are actually pretty purple but won’t admit it.

And keep in mind that as long as everybody thinks that way, nothing will ever get fixed in this country. Both Team Red and Team Blue know what’s up. They know people will defend their side and demonize the other, while they’re all taking care of the billionaires and laughing all the way to the bank.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Oh absolutely. Instead of fighting the establishment, political discourse has devolved into “Oh you don’t like Person A? Then you must be a FASCIST who is licking Person B’s boots!”

And to think we could have had this guy instead of the narcissist and lost Roomba that won the last two elections…

Great. I’m not using a Dell. I have a laptop from a company that supposedly supports Linux first. A company I will not be buying anything from in the future either.

The awful screen is one big reason I don’t use my System76 laptop more often. It’s the worst laptop screen I’ve ever seen, has terrible light bleed, and has a pink tint. And this is the warranty replacement they tried to charge me for. The first one had the same awful screen, but kept freezing on me randomly.

And the damn thing STILL has hardware features that only work on Windows 10, five years later (like multi-finger trackpad gestures). I’ll take System76 seriously when they start putting good screens in their laptops and get rid of nvidia.

The Apple devs are probably lucky enough to not have to deal with snow.

Like water for chocolate…

Yet another Linux-first OEM that sells nvidia’s garbage. No thanks.

Well, I guess they managed to achieve their goal of copying Elon.

This is clearly not a taco rule

I own a car and am resentful of the fact that they are pretty much mandatory in my country, but I don’t think this community is overly pessimistic or a vacuum chamber.

That said, departure announcements like the one we are talking about here look like attempts to stir up drama rather than attempts at an actual conversation.

What did you expect from a community called “fuck_cars”?

I have a System76 Kudu from 2018. I won’t buy anything from them again, honestly. It was overpriced for what it was, and the screen is awful. And it still has features that only work on Windows 10. Not at all what I expected from a company that claims to be Linux-first.

Using the latest Plasma Wayland on Arch, btw. They don’t work on any other distro I’ve tried either. My System76 supports gestures on Windows 10.
