"Why is X so hard to find?" (lemm.ee)

No, I wont name the specific title. I don't want to break Rule 3. But I do want to understand why a movie or show can be so hard to find, because maybe that will lead me to understanding how to find things.

I am surprised how hard it is to find some titles. Maybe it's because the one I'm thinking of is an old title, 60s or 70s era. But it's extremely popular, even today. It's been on hopping around streaming services. One would think it would be readily available on the high seas too. I don't really know how one creates a torrent but I'm assuming anything that can be streamed can be captured. I guess maybe it's just not as popular as I think?

X is dead.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

X is still the only choice for certain roles. Wayland is missing absolute window positioning (required for certain multi-window apps), color management, and drawing tablet support is spotty. Some apps will never be ported to Wayland.

X is bloated, old, obsolete, impossible to maintain, and immortal.

Wayland is still horrible on nVidia cards

So, not as dead as you think. Also many apps still run through xwayland

I blame that 100% on Nvidia. Buying an Nvidia card these days for Linux makes about as much sense as buying an iPhone to run Android. Linus summed it up well https://youtu.be/iYWzMvlj2RQ

The number of applications that run through xwayland is shrinking every day.

On RedHat-provided Life Support, yes, but dead, not yet. Only when Redhat ends support for RHEL 9, and thus, for X.Org.
