Solaris (“illumos”) is not proprietary anymore. Actually, it is the only free SysV UNIX in the world.

“Nobody”. I see. Please try to leave your bubble every now and then. There are quite a few people (including me) who still need those systems, and it is rather disappointing to see that they are left behind without a good reason.
But if you are happy with X, stick with it.
There is no Wayland on some of the systems I use.
It does have a relation. KDE worked just well on most Unices for decades. “Going all-in” on Wayland means that they’ll drop support for all operating systems except Linuces and FreeBSD. There are two explanations for that:
- They don’t care about (most of) Unix.
- They actively despise (most of) Unix.
I’m not quite sure where you’re misunderstanding me here. Care to elaborate?
X11 is already perfect as it is. Everything left was fixed in the X11Rx releases.
My brother in arms, given Linux’s desktop market share (which is where KDE is used), Linux is the also-ran in your list. For the point I have made, however, market share is not really relevant. Unices don’t stop becoming Unix just because of how many people use them.
Linux is not UNIX. And X isn’t part of POSIX.
Please refrain from replying to things I haven’t said. None of your points invalidate mine.
Meanwhile, most Unices don’t even have Wayland.
“KDE: We hate Unix.”

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?
2·19 days agoI’m proud that Linux at all that it is gaining more usage than it has before than where it had been 15+ years ago and earlier.
Why? What do you gain from that?

1·2 months agoI did not know the internals of said stack. The ML thread is amusing though:
I’m even tired that whenever people add new repositories to api.gentoo.org, I have to go through that idiotic GitHub clickety-click UI to stop receiving notifications for everything that happens in these repositories.
I genuinely wonder why the Gentoo dev team even uses Microsoft GitHub for managing its infrastructure. Well, I wonder what will happen after the shutdown.
