KDE Plasma sets date to dump X11 as Wayland push accelerates

The part of the Linux community that goes full steam ahead to embrace new stuff that doesn't support old stuff is what maintains the community's status as a minuscule player in the desktop computing market. The absurd development and support of over a hundred of "distros" reinforces the belief that the Linux community is a collection of nut cases that don't understand the marketplace. The community would be far more competitive in the marketplace if they eliminated the avant garde and focused their efforts on the half dozen or so useful and non redundant distributions out there. The Linux community's current instantiation sustains Microsoft's monopoly. The community is seemingly too obtuse or unaware to care.

For example, the Wayland mafia currently doesn't provide a way to support something as trivial as XDG clipboard cut and paste support for the Synergy/Deskflow KVM application. X Windows has supported this KVM app for well over a decade. The Synergy/Deskflow KVM application.developers have been trying to rectify the WAYLAND PROBLEM for a year now. If they don't fix it, then I will dump KDE and continue avoiding all Wayland environments until it is fixed.

I will go back to the future with the X Windows system that has worked well for almost a HALF CENTURY.

Windows 11 stages a comeback – still miles behind older sibling

Re: Don't panic

Remember when Microshaft said Windows 10 is the last version of Windows?

Windows 11 is ransomware.

Microsoft quietly erases Windows 11 TPM 2.0 bypass workaround from help page

The Bait Jar

I remember a company named IBM. They had good products and service. However, they failed to adapt and had their clock properly cleaned. IBM played the same idiotic games that Microshaft is playing and look where they ended up.

Both outfits look like the monkey with its hand caught in the bait jar whilst the patient hunters watch over them. They are too greedy and ignorant to let go of the bait.

Admins using Windows Server Update Services up in arms as Microsoft deprecates feature

What Should Be Deprecated?

What should be deprecated? In more than a few words, Microshaft, International Braindead Machines, HPee, SnOracle, and so on, ad infinitum...

If the corporate welfare recipients' greed was exceeded by any intelligence that they may enjoy, then they would have deprecated their drug dealers(IT "vendors") working at the aforementioned outfits over a decade ago.

Microsoft confirms there will be no U-turn on Windows 11 hardware requirements

Windows 11 is ransomware

The TPM ruse was cooked up by Microshaft, International Braindead Machines and co-conspirators in their RICO operation because none of them could build a secure operating system that could compete with Unix variants. Their best PhD's could not keep up with some guy named Torvalds who wrote Linux while his toddlers drooled in his lap. Now that's the Finnish American way, eh?

All my machines will be running Linux. In the unlikely event that I must use a Microshaft "product", it will run on a VM with TPM.

Windows 11 has never been a real operating system. It's always been an insect ridden app with a "security" model constructed with Swiss cheese.

In a nutshell, Windows 11 is ransomware and nothing else.
