Something about source compilation or declarative systems makes me think that trannies are less likely to invest the time to make them shine in comparison to a quick and dirty niri + arch rice they can spam /g/ with. Anything that shills systemd + wayland seems to be tranny central.

Knowing what happened to nix, I would say those aren't deterents for trannies. If anything it fits their autism in a way that draws them to it

The biggest problem I have seen that xlibre hasn't dealt with well is packaging. With something like xorg that is basically on the same level of importance for a graphical system as something like the coreutils is, really needs to be done properly.

But there were a lot of people that rushed to make the packages themselves, and to varying levels of competence. I think xlibre definitely needs to just make their own for the distros that don't have them in their official repositories. And recommend people only use those. They will obviously need to make sure they are maintaining them.

Bad packaging will quickly give people a bad taste of the project as a whole. Especially people that were already apprehensive about all the gay politics shit. I think it's important enough that it might be worth putting off some actual development time, if they can concentrate on just getting this completely worked out.

guess having a working computer is now something wintards need to check off of there already small list of reasons why they still defend windows.

Linux users in the Linux thread when they haven't circlejerked about their superiority over Windows despite repeatedly declaring that Linux isn't Windows and they don't want to be Windows for 5 nanoseconds:

In other news, I actually managed to get VNC on my headless Fedora home server. Well, I say "headless" but I just unplugged the DisplayPort cables and kept all the LightDM and Xorg processes running. I was just expecting to run Jellyfin and a few things here, but VNC?! It's beautifully smooth, and it's basically near instant! I'm not even doing anything serious or committing to the home lab bit; I'm just having so much fun with how much mileage I get out of Fedora when I'm not wrestling against it as a desktop system.

They have what the investors crave, big promises of AI.

I don't think this schmuck is especially highly positioned in the company, plus this screencap omits the part where he mentions that he wants to use LLM's to rewrite all C/C++ code in Rust and he's specifically looking for skilled Rust developers. Why @ProudSkibidiTolietAryan would choose to omit that paragraph from his screenshot and change the context of this post to relate to "Windows vs Linux" is anybody's guess.

That being said, Microsoft hate thread exists in case you haven't noticed, since neither "Windows" nor "Linux" is mentioned once in this post so I don't think it's suitable for the Linux thread.

At this point windows is so far gone you almost have to feel sorry for these cuckolds if they weren't so stuck in bigotry of low expectations that they think their fellow man is incapable of installing Linux mint

Because that's the truth. If you've ever had a real job where you've interacted with real people as IT support rather than sitting on secular echo chambers online you'd know that that's the case. The average consumer doesn't know you can enter the BIOS to boot from a USB stick to install whatever you want, so no matter how piss easy Mint is to use, most Window users won't even know how to install it.

I see Linux users are still making the same mistake by assuming their common knowledge is everyone's common knowledge. Then again, Linux users are still incapable of not thinking of Windows unprompted, treating it as their arch-nemesis and using it's quality as a quality measurement of quality for Linux rather than focusing on Linux being Linux and making Linux better so I'm the fool for expecting things to change.

I can no longer trust the newer xlibre-debian repository. The guy making it refuses to cross-compile for Ubuntu and even if you get it working it's not being tested for obvious problems, such as a conflict with Xlibre-core and the Nvidia driver both trying to install a 10-nvidia.conf file and dealing with that basically bricked my system. This is after him offering the workaround of force installing libxau6 1.0.11 (because he refuses to cross compile for Ubuntu 24.04 which uses libxau6 1.0.9) which basically corrupts the package management and trying to fix it uninstalls your desktop environment.

Honestly since the development team only really tests things on arch distros, don't bother unless the distro you use has Xlibre in their official repositories. If we're lucky maybe we can get the Debian XStrikeForce team (which compiles Xorg for Debian) to take over.

For what it's worth, this was finally pushed and successfully ran on someones VM.

I think that ProbonoPD, who is staunchly pro-X11, helped him out.

He should put up the source (src) component for the sanity of everyone dogfooding this.

No i didn't write that as a Windows hate thread thing I was tired last night when I posted it and just lazily screenshotted it.
 
threadbanned for a month

Well here's how I interpreted it. A common Linux stereotype is that Linux users are obsessed with Windows and love to ramble about how bad Windows is rather than ramble about Linux. A Linux user saw a dumb post from a Microsoft employee. His brain made a bunch of connections out of the blue and wrote a degrading post about Windows users, reinforcing another Linux stereotype that it's userbase is toxic and hateful towards anyone who doesn't use Linux.

Nothing in the original post related to Windows or Linux in any way yet it got twisted to be that just to post about how bad Windows is in the Linux thread, which should constitute as off-topic posting. And I find it amusing that for all the shit I get and for all the thread bans I eat, these types of posts are still made with a straight face here and no one sees the irony of it all. I'm always the crazy bad guy obsessed with hating Linux, but the other way around is an average Saturday here. I'm awaiting my mean stickers and moderation reports, I've got my laugh and I'm done continuing this off-topic ramble. :story:

You know why do they call it headless. Headless would imply its missing the brain and would be well stupid. Wouldn't eyeless or contactless be a better name?
That would make ALOT more sense than headless

"Headless" is pretty much exclusively used for systems with no desktop environment that are configured either by the command line, but more often than not they don't even have a keyboard and display plugged in and only getting SSH'd into. I don't know, some catchy "desktop environment-less" term could fit that's actually catchy.

Perhaps if your sperg posts weren’t five paragraph essays, people wouldn’t hate them so much. If you’re doing this to be funny, perhaps keep it short? Brevity is the soul of wit and all.

EDIT: Contary to some people, I do think you have something to add to this thread and a permathreadban for you would make this thread worse, but if you could find it in your heart to just keep it brief whenever someone ticks your anti-anti-windows tism, that would be nice.

Counterpoint: PC gamers are fully capable of installing Linux mint because they are competent enough to install windows from a USB
I know most people are tech illiterate but I'm talking about people who can and do brag about building their own custom pc
