The ultimate tax/laws evasion scheme.

I’m proudly retro computing then. X serves me well.

The real response is veiled behind the usual corporate lingo. Here’s what’s actually being said:

You’re right. The system is buggy and the IT guys still haven’t fixed it. The easiest way around it is to create a disposable address at one of the major email providers. It sucks, but that works. Good luck.

In a way, the response was kinda humane.

Same.

I’m solely usually keyboard, activating the windows I’m constantly using through shortcuts. Not having them is a big no no.

I also need to record live streams on OBS, and last time I tried the target windows couldn’t be detected.

Also, I rely on many small X programs thenhanc little things that, together, are all part of my workflow. Most of them are not available on Wayland, and those that are are crippled due to Wayland’s limitations.

Ultimately, these discussions are pointless. Some Waylanders don’t understand there’s more to computer use than just running the latest hardware/software. Ideally, both protocols would coexist, allowing a broader range of choice. But X11ers in return being offensive to Waylanders is not admissable.

I made peace with this forced transition. I went from using one of the available standards (X11) to retrocomputing (X11).

I tried Wayland and what a mess… But I get it. Everything changes, and tech moves on.

As for me and my needs, as long as X11 does its job, I’ll keep on using it.

I’ve followed some of the discussions around the need to have a more modern framework for current graphical systems. I’m pretty confident devs have their hearts and minds in the right place. It’s just that Wayland doesn’t work for me.
