I am not sure what you are advocating 1) using windows 2) using X11 3) use Wayland and stop complaining because this is open source based on people's free time I totally agree with 3), but it is a very hard selling point. I develop software too and I know very well that the legacy system wont go away till the tail 1% is sorted out. We probably disagree on what is the tail 1% here. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
