If there is ONE project that needs a rewrite in modern C++ OR Rust (or some other ‘safe’ language) it’s FUCKING CUPS
Please, Rust fanatics, do ONE good instead of rewriting GPL programs into a corpo-rat license

C++ when it was new was exactly like this. Rust still hasn’t had 30 years of legacy, all these Rust prophets will shit on it’s name in 15 years when they have to maintain huge codebases with it
Besides, C++ is very likely to adopt memory safety
They only invest in the fancy marketable new age shit, and well, corporate rejects (Tizen, MeeGo, etc)
Can people stop hating on shit?
FOR FUCKS SAKE, negative reinforcement dopamine has RUINED THE FUCKING NET.
EVERYWHERE I GO there’s someone bitching about something, hate circlejerks are unbelievably popular, people just love to hate on stuff.
You’re ruining your thought patterns with all these social media negativity bullshit.
Fucking TOML users hate on fucking YAML fucking C++ users hate Rust fucking Rust users hate literally everything under the sun and are insufferable to work with
EVERYONE, fucking CHILL
Avis/Bridei/Artem has been active as a super troll on that forum for years and absolutely nothing had been done
Oh what’s that? Some rational thought in my ramblings? Nah we can’t have that in this sublemmy champ
Try programming in Dart. Dart’s static analyser and package manager will go nuts 0.0001 seconds before the fucking packages load
X11 has exactly one developer who’s a vaccine denying turbocunt German, everyone else has dropped it and it’s codebase is practically unknown territory with security risks.
Look man, it’s dead already
You have a gross misunderstanding of what a display fucking system should do. X11 nowadays provides the same thing to apps as Wayland, except some bad design hacks that have become fundamental to writing Linux apps that are essentially workarounds for X11 sucking badly.
NOBODY uses X11’s font system or widget system or vector system nowadays. X11 provides you with a render plane and some other bullshit and the toolkit does the rest.
Which is the same as Wayland. Except Wayland actually has a properly designed and standardized way of doing things through the extension system, as in X11 everything is cobbled together from hacks.
A good example is absolute window positioning. Wayland doesn’t have it because it’s been found that it wasn’t actually really needed, people did things that way because something that’s essentially a clever hack had become the de facto standard on X11. Same thing with how X11 apps do window captures.
Generally, Wayland is a great leap in Linux desktop system. We’re catching up to what MacOS and Windows did 20 fucking years ago.
Code works in C
Want to make it safer
Put it into a fucking LLM
You know sometimes I wonder if I’m an idiot or that maybe I just don’t have the right family connections to get a super high paying job
Programs not designed for Linux somehow manage to run on a completely different operating system through something I can only explain as fucking technological black magic, and you’re wondering that it doesn’t work quite like it’s native environment? The fact that this is even possible is incredible
Go make the game devs release a proper Linux version and we won’t have those issues anymore
It goes back to mathematics pseudo code which was then used to sketch the ALGOL symbols way back in the days and which then gave birth to everything you know of programming today
That shit’s quite ancient

That’s based on a harmless Unix game that you can install forks of which on modern day Linux as well, by the way
Debian is the lightest derivative of Debian
The installer outright gives you the option out of many different desktop environments and use cases and if you don’t like to install a desktop you can install base system debian that’s literally just a terminal environment and nothing else
Stupidest motherfuckers I have seen in my life could operate computers back when the only “command line” was an actual programming language in the 1980s and also during the MS-DOS boom
This CLI fear is something completely unfounded
Basically tasks have a tight window of execution latency guarantee (although they can exceed that as Linux is not a deterministic hard realtime kernel)
This means potentially lower performance and other losses but it provides very low latency, which is useful for some tasks that need low latency due to their nature like high quality professional audio
There is nothing preventing you from BSDs , tho
Use Debian.
Manjaro has had major package policy issues in the past. Trying to bash arch into a stable release cadence doesn’t fucking work. Don’t know how true this is today, but it was a pain a couple years ago when I rolled it.
My best luck with proper Linux development was on Debian and it’s derivatives. If you don’t need bleeding edge shite, it’s great.
If you want something more up to date, debian based stuff like Ubuntu and Mint work well
Isn’t this only for Oracle’s JDK?
Just use an open source fucking solution
