That doesn't stop man in the middle attacks. If I know the password, I can run my own AP with the same SSID and password, and proxy all traffic through to the real AP, with whatever snooping of malicious transformations I care to implement.

Actually solving the prolem requires public-key cryptographic verification of the access point. WPA-PSK just authenticates the users to the AP, not the other way around.

2-10 minutes? A machine in S3 suspend should come up a hell of a lot faster than that. Ballpark 6 seconds.

Parent asserted that X11 network transparency was not useful on a LAN, and does not provide any benefit in todays world. I, in fact, use X11 on my LAN and derive substantial benefit from it. A single counterexample suffices to disprove such a sweeping statement.

I hadn't realized Wayland was proprietary software.

I'm using Firefox over ssh -X on my gigabit LAN right now. It's perfectly functional, and makes my desktop substantially more responsive by freeing up a gig of ram (out of 4) for disk cache, as well as offloading some CPU time.

How the fuck is ugly font rendering even a thing on a 250 PPI screen?

I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.

Two-finger scroll and tap actually work quite nicely if you get rid of Windows.

What's wrong with detailed list view? It doesn't take up much space, the file order is always on the same axis (up/down), and you can sort by whatever metadata you want?

Those menu items are not accessed particularly frequently (at leas in my workflows) and global menu bars fuck up focus-follows-mouse.

Interlaced video is a joke. It was kind of neat before we had codecs with inter-frame compression, but it's not 1992 any more.

Unless you consider battery life to be part of performance. Every joule counts.

The lack of package management is the very reason malware is such a problem on Windows. One installs a Windows program by downloading an (often unauthenticated) executable binary file from the internet and running it with superuser privileges. Think about that for a moment.

We are going to have words.

But your brain is comparing the perceived motion in the image with the timestamps from your mouse input. If implementing a blur requires 3 frames of buffer, you will notice. Try comparing between Super Mario Brothers in an emulator with a compositing window managers on an older LCD against Super Mario Brothers on an NES connected to a CRT television.

I had to disable the compositor on my machine, because my monitor has a larger-than-average amount of input latency, and as much as I like tear-free window dragging and saving the CPU cycles for redrawing windows when they are moved or obscured, mouse movement felt like dragging a coffee stirrer through a bowl of molasses.

Are you actually using xterm, or is it one of the libvte based terminals (gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, ect.)? I recently encountered some pretty serious performance issues with libvte. Try Konsole, or urxvt if you want something less heavy.
