Yes, but it is surely more flexible to own them. Also, I'm pretty sure my local library doesn't have the specific books I care about. But yea, librarys are great for discovering and quickly testing new books you didn't know about

And I thought you were making a follow-up joke to mine..

Yes, but physical books cost money

Spread movement to wide masses == propaganda

GrapheneOS is the real answer.

The NYC subway banned dogs on trains unless they fit into a small bag, so this guy trained his Pitbull to sit in a small bag

Haha, no.

And the following year as well!

Okay, you have a specific case which makes it much harder to abandon Nvidia (although I believe there are always better solutions if one keeps looking).

I made the case that generally speaking, GNOME can't wait for Nvidia. Most people being negatively affected by this should should just switch away from Nvidia, but we can't let them slow us down.

I have to research more thoroughly what the promised advantages of Wayland are, but from what I've heard is that the capability system is much more secure and the architecture is more decentralized, not a single server which takes everything down with it when it breaks.

Anyways, Wayland has a LOT more growth behind it. X is in the process of being deprecated. So I'm pretty sure Wayland must be better in some general way, otherwise it couldn't have gotten this momentum.

That is true that Wayland has cost a lot of time already, much longer than anticipated. Still, Wayland has the organic growth. X11 is declining and will go eventually.

Choice is good, but progress always beats choice eventually. That's just how it is.

The solution is: stop making yourself dependent on proprietary companies. You always loose if you wait for someone else rather than taking action. If GNOME wants to improve then it's pointless for them to wait for Nvidia. Even if that means loosing some Nvidia fans

Wayland is my daily driver. The only thing that annoys me is that screen-sharing on Signal Desktop doesn't work. But that is rather the fault of Signal, making the stupid decision of supporting a deprecated Ubuntu version instead of supporting Wayland fully

Wayland is much better in the long term. People work on it every day and improve it, while X11 gets less and less supported plus X11 is carrying deprecated junk from the last decades

The time-investment is short-term pain, long-term profit. That's kinda our thing as Linux guys

pedantry over semantics

Just call it Linux

Pick one.

How exactly is WSL helping anyone but MS? It's there so devs on Windows don't get tempted to try actual Linux

Yes, and I was adding that it is not enough for the product to be open source if the ecosystem surrounding it (e.g. extensions) still drives you to use proprietary software
