Take the time you spend trying to insult people from inside your bubble to actually read what you're replying to. Did I complain about being disabled? No, I complain about being broken.
That's the false part -- it works just fine when enabled. Though usually there is no good reason to enable it, as remote X works with either ssh tunneling (for very lazy people or insecure networks) or preloaded cookie files (for X servers attached to session after authentication). However when XDMCP is needed, it works.
Actually, an X Server runs no applications at all - it is the client that runs the applications.
It runs display procedures and input for them, you extraordinary pedant.
Apparently you must be using a X Server implementation different from anyone else, since according to you it runs your applications instead of just rendering them.
VNC renders. X server draws (though now mostly by copying bitmaps around).
Good to know. You must be one of those guys for which everyone is an idiot, right? Or are you just compensating your own social akwardness?
No, it's just you are an idiot and I am not.
So, in other words, working with simple tools like Microsoft Office seems to be beyond your habilities. Most of what you said could be said about any program. Really.
No, Microsoft Office just happens to be a convoluted application made for a very simple purpose -- this is why it does not matter for it, how bad is the display subsystem and desktop environment. Just wait, and you will see that it will be the only application that perfectly fits into the abomination that is Metro/Modern.
X/Xorg: is an application for making pretty documents with incoherent formatting
X is a general purpose display server, it works well with all applications, including "Office" ones of all kinds.
MySQL: a pseudo-database with calculations
MySQL is a general-purpose SQL server, as opposed to Excel, the bastard child of Visicalc and Access.
Most things created in diagram editors are, indeed, in absurdist category, however it's not the fault of software. Well, at some extent it is, because it comes with UML library.
And this is relevant to the current topic how?
It's relevant because Microsoft Office should fit into a tablet, so it works on hopelessly crippled desktop.
But do tell me about all those X/Xorg tablets, inquiring minds want to know...
My Nokia N900 phone has a desktop based on a full-featured X server. It works great (including scaled live view of running applications) despite very limited CPU performance.
So does Plasma Active on all current implementations.
I'm shure your CPU is taxed at 99%, and your work is more relevant like no other.
Only when I run timing optimization of my FPGA projects. However it's more important that I can see all information I have to see when I develop software and run it on complex hardware configuration, with all kinds of monitoring and logging that I have to analyze to make any sense of it.
You could die tomorrow and probably no one would give half a shit about your work, Machines are tools, not the endgame. Really, get a life.
Do you realize that everything -- absolutely everything that you have ever used -- exists because people like myself at some point made critically important design decision, before worthless scum like yourself became able to "design" things by copy/pasting their work?
There are many differences between people like me and people like you, but one of the most fundamental is the reason why people like me really, really care about their tools. I can't use Windows not because Windows is inefficient or ugly, I can't use it because my work is my life, and my tools are parts of my thought process. Allowing something like Windows into my work would contaminate my mind, turn me into a person too stupid to do things I am capable of doing. Oh, and it also has some really crappy desktop, and made by the second most immoral entiry in the history of mankind after Inquisition.
