So yeah, Xfce looks the same as it did 10 years ago.

And?

Desktop environment is meant to launch apps and give me windows and maybe have a file manager. Xfce does that. It’s a desktop environment.

Hey, “modern” desktop environment enthusiasts, if you bring Compiz back from the dead, give us luddites a call, will you? Ohhhh you kids should have seen it back in the day. Windows and Mac users saw Compiz in action and were, like, “wat.” You don’t get them to react that way to modern Linux desktops, no. And all that is lost now. Thanks Wayland.

Naughties…

“I wrote a 30 paragraph article using only 60 words”

I’m going to start this article off by saying that you don’t have to be born in the boomer generation to be a boomer. You can be a boomer by acting like one. Hate new stuff? boomer. Run a desktop from the naughties? Boomer

Why even bother having words at all if we’re going to redefine them for clickbait?

Username checks out

This article is an example of the “appeal to novelty” fallacy. “It’s newer, therefore it MUST be better.”

I really hate this usage of the term, Boomer. Words mean things!

This is so incredibly cringe that its downright unreadable. Take your own advise, use whatever you want and shut the fuck up.

Great, do whatever you want. Just shut the fuck up about it, nobody cares.

You should really take your own advice on this one. That “article” was juvenile.

Wow edgy.

Read through the article. Well… words were said sure. Were they well written words? I’d argue not. I get the sentiment, use what works for you. This article isn’t informative, it just calls the reader a fuckface among a slurry of other lame insults. If it was supposed to be funny, the humor isn’t my brand.

I like using arch, and I like using and testing out what’s new.

Stable doesn’t mean old, and it doesn’t mean better or worse. Stable is stating that it has been tested, arguably thoroughly tested.

This article did nothing but waste the readers time. Nothing was gained from this.

I think a boomer wrote the article.

Totally useless “article”. You learn nothing, you have to navigate between poor writing with high usage of explectives. It’s like reading a 11 years-old rebel child blog.

tdrl: he use Arch linux, boomers…

Uncharitability to those you disagree with, style without substance, and all built upon thought-terminating cliches.

This isn’t helpful or enlightening or informative, it’s entertaining but not in an interesting nor original way. It reminds me of 2010s Reddit memes where everything was about adding as many “fucks” as possible because our moms aren’t supervising our internet time anymore. It espouses a consoomer mindset of “gotta have bigger numbers and shinier visuals because all that matters is appealing to lizard-brain.”

And it’s all couched in the obvious mindset that any criticism will be met with “ok boomer” (I’ll almost be insulted if I don’t get one) because being superior is more important than being right. Y’know… like a boomer?

You’ve got a point, focus on that: you can make the case that Linux fits your use case, or that certain mindsets within the Linux community are hindering progress. But please do so in a way that doesn’t just lend itself to more infighting and drama. That shit is for shallow people who have nothing to contribute and only serve as the cultural detritus that destroys communities and community-driven projects.

hey u sound a bit angy, is everything allgoods?

Seems like you just found an excuse for your unnecessary invectiveness. You probably think you’re funny or you’re trolling. This is not even trolling, not even fourth-class bait material. Maybe you should try Kali, suits your attitude more.
