    I must admit, “Linux becomes the refuge of luddites” was never on any bingo card I could have conceived of for 202X.

      Huh? Isn’t this about Microsoft changing out a button with a well established use, in order to take advantage of muscle memory and the unobservant?

      Don’t think it’s much to do with people opposing technological advancement, but rather with opposing another company wanting to making a fool of them.

        More over being a luddite on Linux is like a fish trying to breathe in a public swimming pool; it works until the chlorine poisoning sets in.
        Linux adopts new technology constantly.

          The difference is that Linux generally adopts new technology because it enhances the user experience in some way, and not because it maximizes ad revenue and telemetry.

      The Luddites of Linux are one’s desperately trying to convince people that Xorg is perfectly flawless and that Wayland is vaporware.

        You people are fucking crazy and will literally find anything to fight about. Normal users don’t care about this sort of shit and it’s the thing that turns people completely off when they inevitably run into a problem with Linux.

        Why would people you call luddites even care about your opinion really?

        Come back with your Wayland ad when there’s something like CWM or FVWM for it.

        It’s simply functionally inferior now. Calling people luddites won’t change that.

          Why would people you call luddites even care about your opinion really?

          Literally, YOU right now.
          Also, this is the linux community; everyone has an opinion on everyone else’s opinion.

          Come back with your Wayland ad when there’s something like CWM or FVWM for it.

          LabWC, Enlightenment, Wayfire, Weston, Sway, Hyperland, Vivarium, DWL, Velox, etc.

          It’s simply functionally inferior now.

          It’s functionally superior in many ways, and here’s the real kicker, its actually maintainable and expandable.
          Xorg HDR when? How many decades and still don’t have HDR? LMAO.
          I’m done waiting for Xorg to improve and implement features that simply will never be.

            Just fyi this isn’t the Linux community. It’s just “technology”.

            Granted on lemmy it’s basically just one big Linux community.
