It's the 80:20 rule: Fix 20% of the problems to make 80% the people happy, and do your best to ignore the other 20% going into uncontrollable paroxysms of rage 80% of the time. 😂
We're a long way away from #OpenLook and NeWS, aren't we? 😁

@rl_dane@polymaths.social Ok, but even going by that, the "problem" is that the X11 code needs work, nothing else. The "solution" is to put in 100x as much work to replace it. Amusing as your description is, I don't think that even amounts to "fix 20% of the problems". (Apparently I'm nowhere near finished with ranting.) > We're a long way away from #OpenLook and NeWS, aren't we? Yes. Yes indeed. @lproven@social.vivaldi.net @AmenZwa@mathstodon.xyz @synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net
