My history with Linux:

- 1992–1993: SLS
- 1993–1996: Slackware
- 1996–2005: RedHat
- 2005–2015: Ubuntu
- 2015–current: Linux Mint (desktop) / Debian (server)

I've played with lots of other distributions of course, but these were the "daily drivers" that I kept coming back to. Now I've added Arch on my Framework 13 laptop. I like it! It may or may not replace Mint. We'll see.

Two things are true at the same time:

1) X11 desperately needs to be retired and Wayland will be a worthy replacement.

2) Wayland needs a ton of work before it’s ready to fully replace X11.

We’re just in a really weird place in history right now.

Mastodon is my home base and I'm not going anywhere, but I do applaud Bluesky for their continued focus on improving usability and safety. They allow quote-posts, but they're rolling out a new feature today that allows you to forcibly unlink your post from quote-posts if you're being harassed (or you just don't like the person who quote-posted you!) and I think that's a pretty neat feature. Good on them.

@wdormann Bring back window borders and fat scrollbars, cowards!

Overheard on IRC: “What’s the difference between a fork bomb and a modern web browser? A fork bomb does one thing and does it well.”

Literally me these days
