    wayland is a pyramid scheme. the editors have mined lots of waylands when they were cheap, and now they are trying to push the price up so they can sell them all. anyone who thinks a wayland is worth $200 is a fool. they are only good for buying drugs. back to the gold standard. get off my lawn. waste of energy. where's my gun.

    Because my computer is >1000 times more powerful than your 486, so I expect the graphical environment to similarly be >1000 times more powerful than it is on your 486. X11 can't give me that, it seems. Wayland might. We'll see.
