Also spaces for indentation. One and only true char for indentation is tab.

Bad form replying to my own, but I removed Wayland from by Fedora 36 install. It de-installed a lot of unrelated software, which I had to re-install.

As long X (session) is still there (I don't use Gnome, generally use the XFCE spin's) and it can be removed by people who don't want it - I don't give a F**K.

It's the only way wayland can make headway, because given a choice people keep picking X (a working solution) rather than Wayland (a broken POS).

Its just another form of Embrace, extend, and extinguish without the Embrace, extend.

SystemD did a similar by requiring it to be a dependency for so may DEB's/RPM's.

So on thing missing of any use is grub then. Slackware team include grub and good to go. Not taking the piss, like Slackware, started with it in 1995/6 (still have the cdroms from walnut creek).

That's the problem when you start dumbing the people down. They stop thinking and making logical decisions. I too thought the commenter was adding something their post, not replying to themselves.

Yes, a cigar is just a cigar - unless it's the USA and the smoker is Monica Lewinsky then it might be penis.

Well said and so true, both "desktop env" and especially Wayland. FVWM (someone please bring OLVWM). Finally can someone kill Client-side decoration (CSD). The Window manager does much job better of doing max/min buttons and benhaviour than every app trying to do it.

Eye candy is overrated, unless it's Rihanna, Jenna Ortega etc...

Functionality is golden (e.g. Yes I want to fucking print this page, I would'nt have pressed print otherwise! stop fucking asking me and get on with it!)

Wish people would stop talking this crap. Microsoft tried to embrace, extend and stealk Java like they did with everything else, Got used by Sun Microsytems, lost and then invented C#. Sun's view was any java implements had to pass the standard java compliance test, MS as usual their usual tricks and lost. IBM had a version, which had no problems. The whole issue was MS being dicks. They wa Ted Java, but in a way that made it non-portable, tied to the POS OS they call windows.

No damn mental problems here.

"class variable" so for methods we should have "class method". that's 2 extra keywords. would need one more as class is already a keyword used to define a class. Less keywords are better than more. there's a sweet point. C/C++/java etc have it right more or less.

In computer programming, a static variable is a variable that has been allocated "statically", meaning that its lifetime (or "extent") is the entire run of the program. This is in contrast to shorter-lived automatic variables, whose storage is stack allocated and deallocated on the call stack; and in contrast to objects, whose storage is dynamically allocated and deallocated in heap memory.

Since static methods/variables are available all the time weather an instance class has been instantiated or not, would imply the use of the word static is probably correct in this case.

Yes keywords for most programming lang are in english, probably because the big push in computing initially came from USA and UK after WW2?

If your finding it hard to explain -- public static int main(String[] args} {} -- I suggest a career change.

Still confused. Java static means it is not a instance method (or variable), e.e. does not belong to a particular instantiation. A single copy always available, always the same value. In terms of English language 'static' a good word as any.

Out of interest what word would you have chosen.

"In Java and C# etc. "static" makes no sense at all"

WTF?? Confused, please share why it makes no sense?

Same here. Loved the help message on menu install for "less" -- "less is more".

They used to have something similar in the UK premier league (soccer), it was called Fergie time (extra time not over till Man United score).
