- johnisgood 6y agoI have been attacked for daring to say that software can be finished. Maybe it is my fault for not having said explicitly that it does not mean that they do not get 1) security patches, 2) compatibility patches, 3) bug fixes. That said, I have been attacked for using X11, too, which pretty much works for me and has worked without an issue under Arch Linux for years. It just works, and Wayland would not because my window manager does not support it. I do not blame Wayland for it, of course, but I think many software that I use have no Wayland support. I have been attacked for using irssi, too, instead of weechat. They still hold the view that it is not maintained despite showing them the commit history. Crazy. Make no mistake, I am not complaining, it is the Internet after all.
- talhah 6y agoIt depends what level of broken is okay with you. X11 by design allows any application to see what you type which I would consider broken and a security risk.
