i have no idea if the "linux-official" tumblr blogs are a single group of friends having fun vs. random people, but if i were to take a url along those lines, i think i'd do "xorg-official" just because it increasingly seems i'll be stuck using xorg until 2030 thanks to my incredible stubbornness in the face of change

chat what WM should I switch to on my desktop
which wm
WindowMaker (well, GNUstep entirely; like NeXTSTEP)
Compiz (funny 3D effects, highly customizable, no dock included tho)
Fluxbox (use this on my chromebook, kinda like openbox but much more powerful)
CWM (current on desktop, very minimal, no window decorations, keyboard focused)
Ratpoison (tiling WM entirely keyboard focused. prolly has a learning curve)
somehow patch amiwm to work with a modern compiler (very similar to AmigaOS)
I’ve literately seen how, multiple times, a group of Wayland devs jump a random dude on the street, pulling him apart with their teeth and turning his bones and blood and sinew and bile and bones and skin and bones into more Wayland code; and people still think it’s okay to support it 🙄️
Last night I had a dream that I could hotswap between running X11 and Wayland. I didn't need to log out for it either, it was just a keyboard shortcut that allowed me to swap to one when the other was giving me problems.
It was one of those dreams that you think is real for a little while after waking up. And when I remembered it wasn't, I quietly mourned.
a very merry XMAS to you all from the X.ORG FOUNDATION.

Infighting is either why open source is so good or bad
For example
@x11-official mad because @wayland-official is trying to do better
@kde-official rightly thinks their interface is better than @gnome-de-official
@arch-officual and @debian-official are... the two main basies of all other distros
Anyways, I don't know how to put 3 polls in one post, so just fight in the reblogs.
Everybody who knows anything about Unix loves cowsay. It's quaint, it's fun, it's got interesting history.
Throw in a random phrase, a selection of alternate cowfiles, maybe some rainbow colors, and you've got a nice greeting for starting a terminal!
What you might not know is that the humble cowsay has a graphical sister program. xcowsay! Also many years old, but a little less flexible and a little less interesting. A similar genre to xeyes. If you're on Arch, you can find it in the AUR under 'xcowsay'. IIRC Debian has it under the same, and thus also Ubuntu and its derivatives.
I have a lot of fondness for xcowsay. If you too are fond of silly little x applications, I recommend adding a background call (&) to xcowsay or xcowfortune to your .xinitrc/DE startup script/whatever you have tied to logging in and starting X. It's fun!
The 4 horsemen of Linux Letters:
X: x11/xorg
G: GNOME/Gimp/GNU
K: KDE
W: Wayland
