A company that’s using Windows Server is not hiring the brightest mfers

Almost any Unix can be an alternative for Windows Server. Never understood why it was used, other than tech illiteracy of lowly tech workers who only knew MS stack.

There are 5 million ways to configure windows and each have an absurd and almost by-design level of convolution. You can’t possibly expect people to know about a new GPO immediately

If your client has an HD picture button (like Boost) you need to click it to actually receive the proper image

There is a project called waypipe

Also I call bullshit on XOrg supporting anything you said without issues. In my experience, it can shit itself by itself when you look at it wrong.

I got that coffee script reference

What a mad lad. His legend is spoken to this day

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) works leaps, bounds and miles better than the 1989 X11 Network Transparency system ever did. Especially so that X11 was never intended for hardware accelerated compositing or 3D apps.

I know this as a fact that Nvidia GT730 under Nouveau and Intel HD 2500 can run Wayland without issues

Sure, let me dust off my fucking SPARCStation and connect up to my fucking NIS server so I can fuck off and login to my Solaris server and run X11

Fucking WHO needs mainframe oriented network transparency in the 21 century leave that shit in 1989 like it belongs

The protocol won’t be “finalized” for a long time as new shit is proposed every day.

But, for me and many others, it has had enough protocols to work properly for some years now. Right now I’m using Wayland exclusively with some heavy workloads and 0 issues.

Wayland has started to support Explicit Sync which can fix the behavior of Nvidia’s dumpster fire of a driver

I think it’s possible to make such a tool for Wayland, but in Wayland stuff like that are completely on the compositor

So, ask the compositor developers to expose the required shit and you can make such a tool

having a stable base helps. Also, config breakage can happen without user intervention. See Gentoo or Arch’s NOTICE updates

That’s the same on ANY platform, but windows is far worse because most apps ship a DLL and -never- update the damn thing. With Linux, it’s a little bit more transparent. (edit: unless you do the stupid shit and link statically, but again in the brave new world of Rust and Go having 500 Mb binaries for a 5 Kb program is acceptable)

Also, applications use the API/ABI of a particular library. Now, if the developers of the said library actually change something in the library’s behavior with an update, your app won’t work it no more unless you go and actually update your own code and find everything that’s broken.

So as you can understand, this is a maintenance burden. A lot of apps delegate this to a later time, or something that happens sometimes with FOSS is that the app goes unmaintained somewhat, or in some cases the app customizes the library so much, that you just can’t update that shit anymore. So you fix on a particular version of the library.

Because the older alternatives are hacky, laggy, buggy, and quite fundamentally insecure. X.Org’s whole architecture is a mess, you practically have to go around the damn thing to work it (GLX). It should’ve been killed in 2005 when desktop compositing was starting to grow, but the FOSS community has a way with not updating standards fast enough.

Hell, that’s kinda the reason OpenGL died a slow death, GL3 had it released properly would’ve changed everything

Debian systems are verified to work properly without subtle config breakages. You can run Debian practically unattended for a decade and it’s chug along. For people who prefer their device to actually work, and not just be a maintenance princess, it’s ideal.

Brother the shit they say over there is fucking vile

It’s one of those jokes that’s only a joke if it starts trouble, however in other circumstances they are stone cold sober Blood and Soil off brand knockoff Nazis

Didn’t someone go there and find out these are literally prison complexes? By that count, USA is commiting genocide against millions of people lol
