Much of the Wayland hate comes down to 1) an attempt to force adoption for it 2) by tranny faggots.

I don't hate Wayland, but I also can't use it. I don't know if it's because I have nvidia, but it won't even load my DE if it attempts to use Wayland. It works on my work laptop, but I still run into issues with the interface being laggy or certain apps I have been using not being compatible with Wayland.

It's because you have nvidia. Wayland just doesn't really work with nvidia cards. It's a known problem. There's like a modicum of support but it's more of a 50/50 if it'll even work at all. I don't have much of an issue with wayland besides force adoption since it was the default with cachy os with kde plasma but in your case just use xorg or the xlibre fork.

I've been using Hyprland no problem for over a year now. The only thing I really have an issue with is the lack of global hotkeys (Discord, Mumble).

You can set up a version of global hotkeys with hyprland specifically. You need to do it like you would set up normal keybinds in your hyprland config through. I don't use global hotkeys at all so I haven't tested them. I know hyprland is one of the few compositors that has any version of them though.

i hate wayland because i want my shit to work, and i dont want to wait 20 years listening to gnigger babble from gnome devs and IBM employees (that probably get off to skinning babies alive) over why desktop functionality thats been on windows for 30 years is bad for some reason
 
Top 10 reasons why wayland is shit:
1. It doesn't work on my machine
2. Even if it worked on my machine, the stuff I use wouldn't work on it
 
Well, the people I know or used to know would use it in the late 2000s and 2010s. Basically, they either didn't want to put up with Microsoft's BS in the Vista days, or they wanted to provide the less computer-literate crowd a simple-to-use OS for tablets and netbooks.

Personally, I was never a Ubuntu fan, but their efforts to lowering the barrier for less tech-savvy people to getting into the Linux world were certainly applaudable.

Yeah that's exactly what happened to me was I got a computer with vista and it kept breaking so my dad put Ubuntu on my machine
 
One of the reasons Linux is eternally "dying" is because when there's a good-enough standard, the community insists that the rough-edges are too much and creates a new standard, which adds more rough edges, and shatters what little unity exists. Now there's half the user base testing either new or old standard. OSS -> ALSA -> PulseAudio -> JACK -> PipeWire, sysvinit -> {openrc,systemd}, now X -> Wayland. GNOME2 (Mate) -> GNOME3 (Cinnamon) -> GNOME4 (modern GNOME). et cetera, et cetera.

The problem is they've always had the mentality of "fuck you, we know what's best for you, do it our way". My earliest exposures to Ubuntu had me wondering why it was doing things a certain way, because it was trying to keep you away from the superuser account.

My guy, if I have the root password or the ability to sudo, get out of my way. If I brick something that's on me, I don't need you trying to protect me from myself.

The forced use of snaps and more is just more of the same and why I've generally switched away from it. I've only got one device here at the house running Ubuntu, mostly because it's running Kodi and that works a load better in Ubuntu than anything else. The other media computer is using Libreelec, which is a severely cut-down form of Ubuntu, so it gets a pass.

Libreelec thinks of itself as Ubuntu? That's news to me, given its weird static nature. I always thought of it as its own thing, a standalone Linux distro for single app contexts. But that's from the perspective of Lakka, which is RetroArch's LibreElec.

I thought it was based on a stripped-down version, but I could be wrong.

As much as I dislike Ubuntu nowadays, at least their Unity Desktop Environment kind of emulated Mac's UI properly and why I enjoyed using it back when it was still being developed. *sigh*

Unity is still being maintained as a fork, but I don't think they've added new features on a while
 

Breaking news a smug Australian acts like a smug Australian for an entire video. I'm shocked. I never could have seen this coming.

Basically covering the current reaction to gnomes increased systemd reliance. With incites such as "systemd was just the better technology, that's why people adopted it", "there was 1 gnome user on artix, now there goes 40% percent of their user base" " what is it about systemd makes you not want to use it, or do you just like making things harder for yourself?"
