They say X is ‘better’ but doesn’t it lack even basic VSync support to prevent screen tearing? I always remember awful performance when running X because everything stuttered with so much tearing on every system I used.
OP, the far-right dipshit who forked to XLibre is so inept that he thought the XOR operator in C was for exponentiation – something one semester in undergrad CS would clear up. Cool your fucking jets and go cope somewhere else.
Might happen to someone juggling different programming languages all day. Tells a lot about his skill level of course, but we’ve all been beginners. I’m more concerned about the apparent lack of unit tests.
I can say with confidence that I have not – ever in my life – attempted to not just contribute to but be the primary maintainer of such a complex, low-level, crucial piece of software when I was that much of a beginner. And their GitHub bio reads “Old Linux hacker and kernel maintainer. Xorg developer, Xlibre founder/maintainer”.
Keep in mind here that “Xorg developer” means “came in, pushed dozens of shoddy patches that are now being reevaluated for how fucking trash they were, acted like a petulant little bitch when confronted about my lack of quality, and turned it into a conspiracy theory”. They do not get the benefit of the doubt. They are a moron who doesn’t know the basics of C.
In that case, yes, not knowing what ^ does in C is fucking embarrassing.
There is just so much wrong with this. It’s not a hot take. Its a bad one. The dislikes speak for themselves.
Its just a long pointless rant by like 3 people and “many developers” (which judging by the way that end part is written I’m guessing it’s just one guy and 2 developers
I was going to say “oh. This is an old post that just surfaced” but that does not seem to be the case. Someone is wrong in 2025
Suck my balls! Wayland works way better than X11 on my KDE desktop with multiple monitors and gives me a sweet performance boost when playing games with Proton-GE.
Eat a dick. Wayland was created by the maintainers of X.
