For someone who has not used Gnome in 14+ years you sure seem to know a lot about it…
I ditched GNOME in 3.0 times. And I still gave it a second try, a third, even a fourth. And my system has GNOME (and KDE, and Xfce…) applications, so certain patterns are visible even in everyday usage. And I fuck around with virtual machines to find out about random stuff, including DEs that I ditched (like GNOME and KDE) or I never used directly in my machine (like Elementary).
So don’t assume “ditched it = ignorant about it”.
X11 has effectively already been deprecated for years, seeing little to no development on it.
O rly. And the point still stands: GNOME has a tendency to drop support to older software before the newer one is ready.
Unless you want to claim Wayland reached parity with X11, and there’s totally no reason people might want to stick with X11 instead.
And still, there are SEVERAL Long Term Support distros out there that will support X11 for the coming years.
This does not address what I said.
Please stop pretending that stuff will start breaking. It will not.
That is not what I said.
*Yawn* Given that
I have little to no patience towards people who distort what others say and vomit assumptions; and
Others might come up with something actually meaningful to contradict what I said,
It’s safe to disregard you as meaningless noise, so I ain’t wasting my time further with you.
