  This is fucking hilarious, the fact that this is so updated really tells you how geeky Lemmy is though!

  I’d rather pay for X than drop driver support for my GPU!

      My mistake, I figured it was easy enough to confuse X as in Twitter with X as in several dozen other tech and tech-adjacent projects.

  What is wayland? How is it different than Mastodon if a Twitter replacement?

    Both X11 and Wayland are competing display server protocols in the Linux ecosystem.

    X11 is the old version that is now slowly abandoned in favour of Wayland, but still there are things like Nvidia with their proprietary drivers that run better under X11.

    Hence the word play.

      How does wayland avoid X fees?

        Not at all. That’s the joke.
