Sadly, that's true. We still have to support 32-bit because of steam. It'd be cool if we could FINALLY move on from ancient x32. Oh, and also X11.
How is X11 STILL relevant when Wayland, a CLEARLY better alternative, exists? And also, why should we keep supporting ancient stuff? Get used to the change or perish, that's how LIFE ITSELF works.
the same way cobol is still relevant while it being older than x11
Is this sarcasm?
How is it clearly better? It’s a broken incompatible mess that’s being pushed on everyone that offers more headaches than benefits
Check this for example https://gist.github.com/probonopd/9feb7c20257af5dd915e3a9f2d1f2277
Okay, but that didn't answer the second point.
Don't you fucking touch my X11. I need it for my BSD rig. After I get a GPU you can have it.
