>I feel the rift in the Linux world grows bigger between the conservatives (fuck systemd! X11 was alright!) and the progressives (can I have HDR, fractional scaling, and hardware video acceleration on YouTube, please?). I want my computer to be modern and slick and fluid, I'm vain like that. I have fractional DPI scaling in x.org, I just don't use it since undocking keeps it on that on my small screen. I use systemd, pipewire, x.org, and never follow unix philosophy with my desktop environment not because I am some sort of political standard you set arbitrarily, I just use stuff that just works, like most computer users. > The reason why xorg had to be abandoned is a Google search away. Its mostly because you can't make it more perfect, but they did! https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/10/xorg-2110-sees-a-release-with-variable-refresh-rate-support-in-the-modesetting-driver/ https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/10/xorg-2110-sees-a-relea... >After three years without a full release, X.Org 21.1.0 has finally landed with new features and a lot of bug fixes. While the next-generation for all Linux systems will eventually be Wayland, plenty still default to X.Org. I really dislike how you turn linux into politics, announce it isn't suitable for modern hardware with zero reason, saying x11 (actually x.org was crappy as if the whole thread isn't talking about how much crappier wayland is) and deal with it. Leave your feelings at home.
