Internet is strange place

That's how I feel as well. IMO it's ridiculous that Fedora wants to remove xorg completely from the repos in the next version.

It's obvious in the light of pure reason that everyone needs to lift

Thanks I didn't know that. Arcan seems to have kept WM's separate.

Just use Nix and see where the drama goes in a year. I'm guessing your configs will be fully compatible or only require minimal changes, if the forks survive that long in the first place.

I'd suggest learning nix, flakes, and home-manager before going anywhere close to NixOS. This should help you out

OLIGARCHY!

Nope, I meant that the wayland compositors are inflexible monoliths that are so tightly integrated into a DE that they can't be replaced. Xorg might be bloated, but it follows the UNIX philosophy closely enough that each part of the stack above xorg can be trivially replaced.

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that Wayland compositors are forced to be inflexible monoliths that need to be so tightly integrated into a DE that they can't be replaced.

Edit: I've just learned that it's not forced, but that every compositor used by popular DEs is an inflexible monolith by choice.

In xorg the server, wm, and compositor all do their own thing and can be replaced trivially. It took me like 5 minutes to replace xfwm4 with i3, and that included the research.

That was so bad that vim users needed to make nvim to handle Emacs envy, and every modern ide tries to do the same in worse ways.

Sega took that as a challenge

What a horrible name. I literally had to search for "aux nix" to find a Reddit post mentioning the URL. Every other search term combination was giving me results for ps aux.

Oh definitely, but far more physically than mentally when you start getting used to the country life. The good thing is that work comes in sprints with spring being the hardest by far.

I've been pretty much only trimming for days just to get everything under control and I'm still not done. And in like 2-3 weeks I'll need to do it all over again because you can practically see the grass and weeds growing. When it gets hotter and drier, the growth slows down significantly and it's more manageable. It's the same with crops, you break your back in spring and work hard in autumn, but summer and winter are pretty chill. Those sprints make it easier to get used to because you're not doing the same things day in and day out.

There's a surprising amount of overlap between programming and farming. Research, diagnosing, solving issues, refactoring, etc. And it definitely favours a DIY mindset for fixing and making things. For example I'm planning on building an automated watering system with microcontrollers because I could make it for a fraction of the price of a commercial product.

Organic is not that much more difficult if you're only growing for yourself. But being good to nature definitely makes everything harder. Like we could use chemicals to kill everything except grass, but leaving native plants is good for the ecosystem while making trimming far harder.

Here's an alternative translation of those verses from NLT:

I loved your ancestor Jacob, but I rejected his brother, Esau

But I don't know any Hebrew and only a few words of ancient Greek, so can't comment on how accurate it is.

Besides that, the perception of God is vastly different between the testaments:

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9

1 John 4

You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.

Matthew 5:43-45

Can confirm, am currently at the country. Still not at the point I want or can permanently move, but it's so good for the mind.

But it's been an uphill battle because XOrg is the final boss of legacy codebases.

Also because Wayland forces every compositor to be an unmodifiable monolith instead of following the UNIX philosophy. For example I'm currently running i3 inside of Xfce because the de, wm, compositor, and every other part are doing their own thing and can be replaced. With Wayland I'd need to fork the compositor and spend a ridiculous amount of time on something that's trivial in xorg.

And let's not forget the garbage pile of tools that got abandoned a week after release because Wayland introduces breaking changes on a regular basis. You want unified shortcuts across multiple compositors like with sxhkd? Tough luck, the only tool was abandoned after the first version and doesn't work anymore. On the other side you've got 15 rofi alternatives you need to dig through to find out which ones are still maintained and might work on your device.

On top of that Nvidia GPUs have so many issues, and while that's not solvable by Wayland, it's still a major issue that still hasn't been fixed after 15 years, but might maybe soon™.

Finally, the security improvements have gave me nothing but headaches whenever I tried using Wayland. No matter the distro or compositor, screen sharing and recording never worked for me. Give permissions, share whole screen or just window, it's either black or the program is not showing I'm trying to share ate all.

You can't blame it all on xorg when Wayland is still simply far worse for a large part of the community.
