old games typically work better on linux than on modern windows versions

Fingernails currently scratch them... and I have those

There's also creating an extremely thin hard layer ontop of a soft one

You're not making an apples-to-apples comparison, the x protocol does not do ANY of those things, the x server does, you're comparing an implementation of a protocol to a protocol... and then saying the protocol should magically just do it, even though that isn't the purpose of a protocol in the first place. The only difference in this case is that there's just one serious implementation of xorg because it sucks to work with so much that nobody else will do it, this is actually just a knock AGAINST x.org that you view as a win because standardization, in practice, it doesn't matter at all.

the more correct comparison would be x.org to wlroots, which does most of them (global shortcuts is being worked on still) or smithay.

Maybe someday in the future everything will standardize around wlroots or smithay, but the fact that they haven't is because it's so relatively easy to make a wayland compositor from scratch that the need for standardization is tiny. Gnome and KDE wrote their implementations BEFORE smithay and wlroots existed, and hyprland came along and did it basically on their own from scratch... a feat that could have NEVER been accomplished with x.org, as evidenced by the fact that nobody has rewritten it in rust or whatever.

Essentially you're saying they "have" to implement it themselves, when in reality, they GET TO implement it themselves if they want to, because the design is so much better.

If they don't WANT to, smithay and wlroots are there for you to use. It was a deliberate choice by those teams to make and maintain their own thing, if somebody wanted to do that with x.org, there's literally no reason they couldn't, the x.org server doesn't prevent this in any way, and even if it did, would that really be a strength? Your argument just fundamentally doesn't make sense if you actually understand these things.

Yeah I've heard this argument, I don't think we can be completely certain, willow glass by corning is an interesting proof of concept at the very least, crazy tech thought to be impossible has happened before

no crease and a screen hardness of at least 5 is the minimum before I get one

people say this all the time but the reasons they give are always nonsense in my experience, sandboxing alone makes flatpak better

no I'm just saying that didn't happen and I'm not a tankie... you're making tankies look good with this nonsense, it's embarrasing

That isn't what happened.

you stated this probably had an impact on the number of users, I stated I doubt that, you have no idea what's going on do you?

My avatar is the anarchocommunist flag

I did not defend hexbear, I just said they likely didn't have much impact on user count... you sound like a conspiracy theorist

Dude what I just said it probably didn't have much to do with user count

I'm an anarchist... literally the opposite of a tankie...

Tbh not a chance

The communists overwhelming military strength had nothing to do with the fundamentals of anarchism.

A counterexample: The zapatistas of mexico's system could easily manage nukes. They are tiny and have been fighting against the Mexican government for ages, not an outright military victory but considering their tiny size, such a system shows promise for military security.

Install count isn't necessarily reported, and all forms of reporting that I know of on linux are opt-in

Popularity has nothing to do with install count, and nearly every distro does opt-in to show what you're running.

It's not any simpler than having a popup appear when an app asks for a global shortcut, and way way less secure

Using hyprland in no way benefits the developer to be clear, I would just not donate, beyond that it really doesn't matter

I recently switched and the documentation is both extremely necessary (no other distro is even a little similar to setup) and TERRIBLE
