            1. A newcomer probably doesn’t even know what X11 and Wayland are, let alone the differences between the two.

            2. Linux Mint has planned experimental wayland support for Christmas 2023.

        Nice enjoy amego. Mint was my second choice. Great choice of distro BTW very easy to use make sure to install flatpaks and neofetch sadly I went back to windows my pc hardware has poor driver support on Linux maybe eventually once I’ve upgraded my gpu then I’ll return to my sacred Linux mint

        Unfortunately not, that’s why lemmy never took off. All the people that came here from reddit slowly left once they realized you have to be a FOSS/Socialist/anti-car/vegan. Only the ones that matched at least one of those really stuck around.

          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At least there is a lot less brain dead shit all over the front page without a bunch of normal people up in this bitch

            I mean kinda? There’s still some brain dead shit and I honestly think the reading comprehension of the average commenter is lower than reddit.

              I like the fact that it’s different brain-dead from Reddit. Then I feel there is balance: dead brains on both sides.

              Of course sometimes you spot the living among the dead, but if I want genuine sense I’m a big fan of [i]rl.

            I mean I would prefer the “brain dead shit” in my opinionmost of the shit I see here is just bitching and moaning or copious amounts of nfsw. No cute puppy pictures. No wholesome memes. No actually funny shitposts. Mostly bitching and moaning,“demanding a violent revolution” lots of tankies here nfsw and heavily opionated extremely unfunny in my opinion comedy is subjective i dont find these funny but you may domemes. All this hostility is almost certainly affecting lemmys growth heck only reason I’m here is because of lemmy shitposts and the many other nicher communities I like

          Also older. The average Lemmy user is much older than the average reddit user. Which I would love if it stuck just to averages, but I don’t think we’ve got a very wide range here; we need some new blood/youthful energy if we want this to thrive and grow. But as it is now, I think Lemmy is a kind of a haven for FOSS old heads for a bit but doesn’t have a lot of fuel in the tank for the future, unless we see a bit of a cultural shift here.

            Lemmy almost certainly needs a “cultural shift” it’s way to toxic. It’s probably more toxic than heroshima. one thing I’ve noticed myself is there’s way way to many tankies. And some members of the linux community aren’t so welcoming to people whom use other operating systems

              Are there tankies? Yes, absolutely. That being said, is the term “tankie” being thrown around way too cavalierly and dismissively on Lemmy? Ab-so-fucking-lutely.

              I thought reddit was into assigning labels to people dismissively, but holy shit it’s on another level here on Lemmy.

              Just like how not everyone who disagreed with you on Reddit was a Nazi, not everyone who says something you dislike on Lemmy is a tankie

                Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie?wprov=sfla1

                I see way to much stuff which fits in the “tankie” category.in my honest and earnest opinion I think these people are entitled to an opinion I also believe that these people are able to express that opinion but so are the hundreds of other communities that these people may not like I see some of these tankies not exclusively tankiesvictimising some of the Christian communities here on lemmy this is an example from a little research and speaking to some these people from these communities I’m sure there’s many more examples

                Edit : this was on top page on ml not surprising considering its an ml domain but still

              I agree there absolutely is toxcity here, particularly if you go against the majority and popular views. Lemmy users often claim and post about being so much better than reddit users when they’re the fucking same

                Yup exactly I agree with this. I think people are entitled to an opinion and that includes tankies. But the way alot of “lemmings” go about discussing there views and opinions is worse than reddit in my opinion for an instance there’s alot of folk assholes in my opinion raiding Christian communities downvoiting them and commenting on them I’m not Christian myself but I personally see this as despicable behavior. Especially considering there people consider themselves to be the “tolerant” one’s
