this is like that mozilla dick hammering post except it's the entire linux community acting in response to windows 11

the kernel itself is becoming vibe-coded because linus decided to become a tech bro who apparently never cared about social issues, important tools like rsync no longer work because they're also vibe-coded now, GTK4 and QML apps use more system resources than electron apps now and that's all anyone seems to want to develop with for some godforsaken reason, etc. etc. etc.

i used to actually like desktop linux but now i just use it apathetically because there aren't any viable alternatives

    Theyre the big names, integrate into an ecosystem, and most of all, writing raw x11 code (or raw Wayland protocols? I'm not sure how things work over there, I'm still in X land, running motif-ass lookin software, and loving it) is a gigantic horrifying minefield of footguns.

    The frameworks are fairly frustrating, but tbh I understand not wanting to write raw x11 very very well.
