What? How did that marginalize anything? Solaris and BSD had their own init systems long before Linux had systemd, they didn't use sysvinit.

Except that web interfaces will probably always be a better way to remotely access those devices.

My original point was your criticism is lacking in substance and it needs to improve, and also your anger is misguided and unhealthy. I get that you're passionate about open source so that's why I'm explaining it. GNOME is ju

I don't see how these questions are related. Those are businesses. Volunteer open source projects aren't businesses. There's no barriers for anyone to join the project and start changing it from the inside. And they're s

I think I've already explained multiple times what good criticism is. I'll repeat it with some other tips. Always present criticism in a helpful way. Be as respectful as possible every time. Only give feedback that you yourself

I can't understand the situation here. Why wouldn't a more recent OS release have a VNC server available? And why is a web server being used to run firefox? Shouldn't that be run on the client? Why are you even installing a G

If your IT department at work refuses to give you a modern solution I think that's their problem, not yours. They should just know, X11 forwarding was already obsolete decades ago. They're just signing up for trouble and misery wi

I mean if you have a high bandwidth connection and you want to only transfer raw uncompressed software-rendered images then sure, go nuts. For me that lags horribly and it's pretty much broken if you try to remote a fullscreen window a

That only ever worked for ancient OpenGL versions. There's basically no chance you can get modern OpenGL/Vulkan/Direct3D/Metal working like that.

The common web browsers or web-based apps are all using hardware accelerated Skia. Almost nothing uses the core X11 APIs anymore. I'm honestly confused when I hear people say they still use X forwarding and it has no slowdown. It'

There's no such thing as "network transparency" anymore. Newer desktop apps are now written to assume GPU rendering and that's local only, even on X11. If they implement software rendering at all, it's a separate co

The problem with the X server code is most of the protocol code is very complex and it's hand rolled code predating C89. It (still!) does all the parsing and byte swaps manually. In a modern project you would have the compiler generate

There's a difference between honest criticism and low-effort rage bait. Helpful critique is about settling differences and finding a common ground to move forward. It's not about getting mad at others and holding a grudge. Do your
