By calling them stupid you are actively participating in the fight yourself

Sorry :)

There are very valid reasons both for and against WMs

Whole point of Linux is allowing user choice, why get on people’s cases about what they can and can’t use

In my mind I call them "stupid" because I personally thinks desktop environments are "stupid". Sometimes this flew on the keyboard. Sorry for that.

A better word to describe those de/wm is "crap". Just my personal thought.

Crap is still insulting them though, personally I think gnome is really good. I use hypr and love it but it's also taken a gargantuan amount of effort to get it how I like it which not everyone wants, and before I switched gnome was doing perfectly fine

KDE and cinnamon I'm sure are similar boats, though I haven't daily driven either of those yet

No one wants their software to be called a "crap", so I will not puke out again.

But many people doesn't take "personally". I wanted to write a post about this a few days ago but the op posted the meme.

"Linux users" cared about what their desktop environment looks so much.

This is my .cwmrc:

bind-key 4-s "bin/scrshot"
