That was (obviously) a joke, I was taunting the comment I was replying to for being cruel.

Knowing the kind of character you can meet online, I'd say Poe's Law is at play. Next time use a tag.

Here's everything you need to know about the state of the Linux community:



A very nice call to murder people. Why talk about technical stuff when you can throw such tantrums publicly. As for me personally I no longer care.

Even that is not enough. I want them to shoot the devs who contributed X11 code as a warning to the rest.

You never fail to fail lol

How did I fail? Most articles that discuss X end up into an X vs. Wayland discussion.

Wayland fanboys: Noo! You can't add new features. Xorg is dead!
Xorg: Ha-ha. Refresh rates go brrrr.

Xorg fanboys: See we are not dead
