Like I said, much of the new things you’re complaining about is simplification. Flatpak, Wayland, xdg-portals.

No. AppImage is relatively simple. Flatpak is not. There's a clear difference between "new shiny" and "new".

Lol. Why stop there? Why not say they should be no more complex than an abacus?

Amiga 500 is quite functional as compared to abacus. Modern PCs not so much as compared to Amiga 500.

Can you please answer. X11 is far more complex than Wayland. Why do you prefer it if you like simplicity?

It's not far more complex as a protocol.

You don’t use programs that… do things? Things like follow system theming, give notifications, open/save files, record your screen, open a file picker, etc? I don’t think you’re grasping what portals are.

I don't, quick googling says this is something connected to giving permissions to Flatpaks or something, which I don't use.

Wayland is simpler than X11, by a long shot.

ColibriOS is simpler than Genera.

It won’t ever, by choice. It’s not meant to. X11 is filled with many mistakes that it should never have had.

As in?

The X11 developers say otherwise, and have embraced Wayland.

So what? It's not a religion to embrace.

Do you have the definitions of “simple” and “complicated” mixed up in your mind?

In what world is Guix more complex than Flatpaks?

See, you are trying to do these emotional hints at me saying something stupid, but this is really too much.
