From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The gnome implementation that I'm forced to use is god damn awful. This whole eventbus implementation is so bad, it misses events and doesn't always register key-up, when I'm switching workspaces. I do it a lot, and the key gets stuck spamming the same letter, because it didn't register key up!! Hell sometimes it doesn't register keydown, super annoying when writing passwords.

Random crashes of gnome happens more often than I would like to admit, and all that you've been working on is gone aswell. What a garbage design, why the fuck should the wm own the processes, I swear the wayland people live on a another planet.

And the whole permissions thing to ensure privacy, mf this is linux, stop making me do workarounds for shit that you won't allow, because you haven't implemented the correct support for it.

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04, thing fucking sucks, I'm forced by work. Dude x11, just worked, like Wayland solved anything at all.
