@hakui >but according to your other posts john deere is proprietary so they must have the magical monopoly powers to shut down all the other alternatives, how are you using a free lawnmower???
Do not twist my words into something that I did not write.

I explicitly mentioned that they're free replacements rather than mere alternatives.

I guess I have to spell it out to you - just because there are freedom-respecting lawnmowers, that also just work, that doesn't magically make John Deere's monopoly on restricting its farming implements disappear.

>"i-i signed up for this, t-therefore i consider it trivial"
There has been many such cases of me having to work out how to fix proprietary software - it's always a nightmare.

When it comes to fixing free software, you usually just need to look at the log and it tells you what went wrong.

>asking your mom to cancel your meetings is also trivial i bet
That meme refers to the proprietary systemd/Linux distro known as "Arch", which had a crap package manager that would go and overwrite Xorg.conf.

Manually configuring Xorg.conf to get a working X session hasn't been required for many years (I think 10-25 years or more).

I've only ever configured xorg.conf.d on one computer (as I used i3 instead of xfce4) and that configuration has worked just fine for years without causing Xorg to break.
