Why is anyone using X in 2024?
- I do, I have yet to switch to Wayland
  
  It's called Twitter now, by conservation of names. /s
  
  You didn't hear of wayland.social?
  
  OFC it's real https://wayland.social/explore
  
  Shit, I unironically thought they were talking about this, and I unironically haven’t switched because Barrier is broken on Wayland
- I use X because Cinnamon on Wayland has no option to change the keyboard layout
  
  I tried their experimental Wayland session and it's still super buggy on high refresh rate/high DPI screens (loads of graphical errors and artifacts) so still a ways to go imo
- Wayland really doesn't like RDP/remote access, so X is the only way to go if you want that to work properly.
  
  I actually never had an issue on my wayland system. I used remmina for rdp but never had an issue.
- I tried it for a moment, made games stutter like hell, switched back. I know I need to go in and figure it out at some point, but it's hard to muster the energy when X, for the most part, works fine.
  From what I've seen, it probably has to do with my Nvidia GPU.
  
  I'm currently at the point where I blame everything that works on my Laptop but not on my PC on Nvidia, because that's literally the biggest difference between those two. Like currently my getty isn't displaying properly, which is surely NVidias fault.
  
  Odd, when i switched to Wayland the stuttering stopped! Also on Nvidia
  
  Depends on a few things with your setup: age of your GPU, the resolution/refresh rate of your monitor. I think even the choice of DP/HDMI can have an impact too
  
  On nvidia, it definitely feels much smoother, but some GPU accelerated programs like games become flickery, i think it's an xwayland issue
- Because my new intel integrated graphics cause Wayland to run like a slideshow.
- because some of the hardware I use is too old to run Wayland
- Idk I hang out on Mastodon.social
  If yall don't like the chronological feed then find a hashtag you like and start following people.
- Because their name is Elon Musk.
- No censorship tbh
  
  But there is blatant censorship
  
  Nothing even remotely compared to any of the other platforms mate
  
  Platforms of the same nature like Mastodon.social ? Because no.
  Actually, internal reports seem to indicate Twitter under Musk complies with much more takedown requests than it did previously, numbers seem to range from 80% to 98%, including requests from countries like China, Ethiopia, Turkey, etc. When people mention censorship by big tech the top three names are Twitter, Facebook, and Google. The only time I know of that twitter fought censorship was when India wanted them to takedown news about farmers' protests, and Twitter lost in court, probably owing largely to the fact that he cut staff by 80% and ran the company's finance into the ground by endorsing hate speech.
  
  No, I did not include mastodon in the "other platforms" because 99% of the normies aren't on decentralized platforms anyway.
  Very small pond we're discussing, as sad as that is.
  All I did was answer why THEY think Twitter is worth using. I personally don't use Twitter, nor do I disagree w/ your take on censorship.
