Adjacent comment. I’ve found working in a true posix environment is drastically better than the oddities I dealt with Win32. One annoyance is Microsoft has never been able to implement fork().
Though i never messed with x11 as I was never motivated to see what it was like under the figurative hood.
Sorry, switched contexts there. Microsoft broke their clipboard service recently which makes me think they added “telemetry” collecting logic somewhere in there.
Oh right, I misread. And yeah not sure (my win32 repro targets have all been locked for a while) but with all the facepalm regressions I’ve read about lately it really could be anything.
From my experience, the number one culprit of legacy code breaking is someone asking if anyone knows how it works. Second most common culprit is someone making a “quick patch” to legacy code.
And you’d be technically correct, the best kind of correct.
To the inquisitor:
any distro that’s fully OSS can be fully compiled from scratch with any modifications you choose).
Though yes, if you’re still using Windows, the learning curve may look like a wall.
Guessing the X11 [X]Wayland migration KDE Plasma bug report? Should be fixed in 6.5.2.

It really is a hell of a lot more sane, instantly missed once you don’t have it. And yeah Fork’s a blessing when used with care lol

lol damn, flinched at both even though I was prepared
