   @RL_Dane @retronav I'm definitely sure my new computer will be a BSD. I'm trying to buy open hardware as much as I can because I need hardware compatible with BSD. It's good for the floss ecosystem to have alternatives.

     @jrballesteros05 @retronav

     I agree. I don't want to live in a Linux-only post-Unix world.

     Post-Unix may be unavoidable, but Linux-only definitely isn't.

     @RL_Dane @retronav Oh. I always thought that Wayland was portable. That's a shame!! I use sway and i love it but it annoys me a lot those new solutions that are focusing on Linux only. Despite I don't use any BSD yet they are still very important to floss.

     @retronav
     I was making serious plans to migrate either to that or bspwm, but then I started getting interested in #OpenBSD, so #Wayland went out the window, as it has several #Linux-only syscalls, and isn't super easily portable (which is very regrettable).

     I agree that #X11 should either be incremented or replaced by something much lighter and more modern, but also *portable*.

     I'm loving #Sway as my WM.
