@prodentim I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this post. It really shows in the quality of the final product.

funny wayland propaganda. They patched these issues, proving they don’t patch issues. Are you serious?

But people told me X is not being maintained anymore.

every ban appeal I’ve made in a nutshell

Actively developed is different from “maintained”

OpenOffice (OO) is being maintained and shouldn’t be used

LibreOffice is being actively developed and should be used as a replacement to OO

Legacy softwares such as X11 and OO get updates to fix vulnerabilities

You prob said as irony, so used this opportunity to promote LibreOffice :)

I invite everyone to take a look at Open Office’s commits over the past few years, it’s hilarious

Its not very actively developed but maintained. Development is nearly exclusively for XWayland

Enough for me.

That makes sense. X is done, and Wayland isn’t.

Part of this is possibly due to Xwayland too

ExLisper , 5 months ago

Yeah, they lied. X being dead and full of security issues is just a FUD. Keep calm and carry on using X.

which is in fact the only productive choice one can do :) when distro will force switch, then we will see

WarmApplePieShrek , 5 months ago

Distros already force switch, it doesn’t work as well.

I’m using debian sid and I’ve got no problem in using xorg until today so I’d say you are wrong :)
