I call bullshit, you may have no issues with X11, but you definitely had issues with the "setup". I have never managed ever on any distro with any device to get X11 to correctly identify multiple different resolution / refresh monitors correctly.

I've always gotten it to work... except for the refresh issue, but the reality is X11 is very poor at this. Bonus points if you need to scale across one monitor only. That I've never gotten to work.

Last time I used X11 I switched away from it out of frustration and haven't looked back. Network transparency isn't worth the hell of trying to use X11 as a modern desktop. It was great back when hardware was static, but on a laptop with different docking stations, maybe connected to a TV sometimes to watch movies it is simply amazing that X11 hasn't made my put my fist straight through the screen on multiple occasions.

No issues? Man I bow before you oh master hacker. You are truly a god amongst us mere mortals.

Do I sound pissed? Yes, X11 has pissed me off in ways Wayland hasn't (yet).

You may think so, but even you are susceptible to marketing. That's the great thing marketing doesn't want you to know: It works even when people think it doesn't. You may not want cheap junk, but that doesn't make you immune from all of it.

A large portion of your life is dictated by what you know about the world, and a significant portion of that is delivered via marketing. You almost certainly are surrounded by stuff you wouldn't have otherwise bought were it not for marketing, even if you didn't do it consciously. If you lived a life only replacing the broken stuff that you need you wouldn't be reading this on a computer (or smartphone). Those "needs" are ultimately created through marketing.

As long as you cover all options then sure. I am all for signing PDFs on a touch screen or via digital signature. My mother, not so much.

"Worse" is a matter of specification. Worse in what regard? There's no reason it needs to be specific to all metrics, it can be to just some. E.g. cost, speed, care, coverage. Objectively all private systems are worse in coverage due to a legal obligation to deliver to all postal addresses. That doesn't mean that someone else can't turn a profit while meeting the other three requirements.

Where I live the local post office is slower and the same price as DHL - a for profit service.

Because you only have people send you garbage? Bulk mail is a form of communication. The way it is used varies. That you are using it poorly doesn't mean it should go away.

No I make no assumptions on the validity of data, in fact the corruption of data is often the root cause of a bluescreen. What I'm making an assumption about is the possible failure modes and how a logical partition can correct for them. And the simple answer is, it can't.

You either write to %windir% or you don't. Having Office or Photoshop installed on D: partition instead of C: doesn't change that. You either write to the pagefile or you don't. Having that pagefile located on a different logical partition also doesn't change anything either.

Having it on a different physical device may change something, but then the root cause of the problem was a device corrupting data in flight, not the location of the files on the said device. The partition part of this makes no sense.

Clearly you don't understand how the EU works. Germany was a core player in this, and has been for a while. This letter is rather irrelevant, there's been a discussion in the EU about relaxing these rules for well over 6 months now spearheaded by Germany at the behest of their industry. The thing that is irrelevant here is the letter itself.

Invested but never pushed. BMW also had a H2 car, but none of these cars were proudly telling investors that this is the future of mobility. That was very much a Toyota thing.

They still are. That doesn't mean the other use cases weren't being pushed as well. You can see that evident in the various H2 filling stations for vehicles around the place. Here's a map: https://h2-map.eu/, here's an explanation: everything 700bar is stupid (passenger vehicles). Everything 350bar made more sense.

Cases often go cold because there's not enough evidence pointing to a specific person to get a warrant. Warrants do not get issued generically for "I want to search a 3rd party private DNA database."

Mouse input in Wayland is handled by libinput.

No.WaYlAnD iS jUsT a PrOtOcOl, remember?

"Wayland" doesn't handle the mouse input. Many compositors choose to use libinput for mouse input. This of course means that there's no standard way in Wayland to tweak things for compositors making different choices, because it's not a feature of Wayland.

The model pairs the compositor with the display server, because it makes more sense.

It does not. It's the wrong split.

99.9/100 Wayland beefs are based on ignorance and regurgitation of others' ignorance.

No. Lack of standardised method for control is a big one. I am not sure if they've fixed screen recording yet. That was a shitshow for the longest time. Also, it's been what 15 years in development, but sitting down at a freshly installed latest version ubuntu machine and I find that things like meshlab don't work out of the box in Wayland.

BuT iTs NoT wAyLaNd! WaYlAnD iS jUsT a PrOtOcOl!

Every flaw is not wayland's fault because Wayland is just a protocol. Every flaw in X11 is X11'sfault because X11 is just a protocol but that argument only works for Wayland of course.

btw- how is HDR support coming on your X11 display?

Could you remind me what the dynamic range of a standard display is in dB or unit of your choice?

At this point, the main problem is that for the last 15 years all development has gone into Wayland client development and X11 has stalled. It's kind of amazing that Wayland has a feature that X11 doesn't. Except...

With that said: xrandr is fine here, and the correct choice (the API, not the command line tool). Programs know which screen their pixels are on they are on and its DPI, and it's easy to query. Clients could choose to render, based on that query, but none of the toolkits implement it.

You'd need some mechanism to communicate to the WM to tell it you are or are not going to be responsible for scaling. That kind of thing is almost always done with properties. The WM sets one on the root window saying "scaling is going to be done", or maybe on the application windows. And the application would set a property on its window saying "I do my own scaling".

So the TL;DR is: could it? yes. Does it? No. Is it hard: no harder than Wayland.

With the fact that arrests have dropped from 44,000 per year to about 11,000 per year because so many federal law enforcement agents have been taken off other beats and put on immigration enforcement....

Seriously look it up. If we had a functional media it would be much bigger news. Most of the Democrats sucks so hard in messaging...

Perhaps they could establish a payment network for them or otherwise make them actually useful. File and pay your taxes for you.

Cool. We agree,

Sure. That changes my position 0% though, it's irrelevant vibes.
