2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

I didn’t realise Red Hat, SUSE, Microsoft etc. didn’t pay their staff?
are they working on wayland?
From the first result on Google:
So yeah, I suspect Red Hat does in some way contribute to development. As I’m sure does Microsoft, Canonical etc.
None of this happens in a vacuum.
This is what I found:
I can't deny that maybe some larger company allocated resources to the project, even if, to me, it seems like no large company is directly funding the project right now, and Kristian seems like he hasn't really participated in the development of wayland for the past year or so. The fact remains that it's a FOSS project and you aren't a paying customer, so IMO it's kinda ridiculous to complain about it not being perfect right away. Work on improving it if you think it's so bad.
