I've seen way too many Linux users who, out of one side of their mouth, wonder why Linux isn't growing, then turn around and give that kind of hostility to new users out of the other side, and never seem to get that that attitude is the biggest problem.

If you actually want an answer out of those kinds of faggots, just post something incredibly wrong.

Anybody's cursor freezes on kernel 6.12,29 and above or 6.14.8 with amdgpu? Some retard decided to backport broken driver to LTS kernel. Good job.
For now I will revert to 6.12.27 because it was working perfectly fine on that one.
Code: 
  [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data
I saw some others experience it on Arch and Manjaro, so I will wait for someone else to report it for me, not in a mood getting my hands dirty.

Edit. Looks like that one

How about no? I like my freesync.

You could also just try the mainline kernel. And see if it's fine there. That should be around 6.15.0 now. Probably depending on your distro.

The hard G hasn't meant anything since GNOME stopped being an acronym for "GNU Network Object Model Environment." Unlike Xfce, which decided to go all-lowercase because it switched from the XForms toolkit (hence XForms Common Environment) to GTK+ however many decades, the vitriolic manchildren who head the GNOME Foundation are more focused on COC drama and proliferating JavaScript outside of the web browser like war criminals. If they're more preoccupied with spiting their dwindling userbase than they are with acronym continuity, you know something's fucked.

Hotdog fingered homosexualist tranny chaser 'Cathode Ray Dude' made a good video that, through covering a fantastic piece of software for Windows 3.1x/95, explains the beauty and superiority of X11 over Wayland and other tranny/jeet-based display systems.

Does he go on weird political tirades in this one too? I won't bother if so, it's all so tiresome. I briefly watched him until I noticed the tranny pride flag and then my suspicions were confirmed when he started sperging out about shit in one of his videos. It's a shame, but what can you do.

I do agree that X11 is great, though, and it's a shame that with Redhat dropping support it will probably Start to rot, considering they were the ones keeping it alive, IIRC (though I am interested in being proven wrong if otherwise). Openbox is still the most problem free environment I have used ever including with any other OS.

The guy that does most of the job now is an anti-vaxx chud (just like me fr fr):

They should just give him merge rights so he cant be more efficient.
He also got into a fight with linus about vaccines once: https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2106.1/04596.html

The Xorg team hasn't made a new, "complete" release of X11 since 2012. They've basically said: "we'll keep maintaining and updating the individual parts of X11, but we're not planning on engineering a completely new release for the foreseeable future." While that sounds like a batshit stupid decision to make, do bear in mind that X11 is a monumental project with dozens of odds and ends. It's not just Xorg Server, it's also the Xorg drivers, Xorg utilities, and so on. I personally wouldn't put a colossal project like X11 on "pause" for 13 years while quietly maintaining what we have, but it is what it is. Last year, Xorg Server saw the highest number of commits to its git tree since 2014. It tapered down, stayed stagnant from 2015 through 2023, and then 2024 saw a huge uptick in activity. Take that with a grain of salt.

If it ain't broke...

Wayland will never, by design, reach feature parity with X11.

True, my software can't work properly on wayland because of this. Also software like DAW (digital audio workstation) cant work properly on wayland since there is a plugin standard for DAW (that works across different software and OS') and they work by creating a window in one process that gets embedded into a window in another process. This is not possible on Wayland and Wayland devs have stated that they dont want to support this, despite this feature actually improving software security, stability and modularity.

Isn't Wayland mostly maintained by the same faggots that bought you Gnome and GTK? Explains why shit is so backwards with it.
Only been with the KDE devs focusing on it in the last few years that shit is finally getting done after 20 years of being stuck in development hell.
Still not as good as X, but I do use it on my HiDPI laptop since Wayland is a better experience with that (still absolute garbage, its just usable garbage now). Having only 1 global scaling option was the big dealbreaker for me personally.
X will never die though, at the very least it will last much longer then all Wayland loving troons.
