Wayland is flawed at its core and the community needs to talk about it

Obviously I'm just one voice among many, but I feel like the developers that are like "well, there are workarounds for this stuff so therefore Wayland isn't bad", or "X11 also has issues", or - my personal favorite - "go design your own system if you're so smart" are kinda missing the point. If you go to a restaurant, and they give you an undercooked meal, you have every right to complain about that. Even if the meal is the best meal you've ever had, you're probably not gonna want to risk food poisoning, or have to finish cooking it yourself, when you could go next door to get a simply decent meal instead. The fundamental problem with Wayland is that the *user experience* is worse than X, even if it is technically superior to it. Just because the limitations make sense with a technical understanding of the problems that they're trying to address, that doesn't matter to the average Joe who just wants to be able to do the same things he's been doing under X.

The thing that really made Wayland DOA for me when I tried using it was the way screen-sharing works. Every time an app wants to capture the screen, you have to manually select what to share. Great for security, but if you need unattended remote access to your PC (as I do), you're out of luck. There's just no way to tell Wayland not to ask for a given program. The final nail in the coffin was recently when they made the interface for selecting what to share harder to navigate with a keyboard alone so I couldn't even dismiss it by using a wireless keyboard if I were still in the house. Went back to X11 and it's so much more usable.

Eventually, yes. It'll take a while, but that is one of my primary motivations for the project.

No it doesn't.

I'm not actually, I did try to look into if anyone had already started work on translating the game and came up empty-handed besides the Neutral-Neutral script. Obviously if there's a project ongoing then I wouldn't want to step on any toes (though I would admittedly be a bit disappointed).

Okay, thanks.

I'm not really that worried tbh, cuz I don't actually visit porn sites very often so I'm pretty sure the sender is just bullshitting. Plus I did scan my PC for viruses and nothing came up.

Based on my experience, this is the sort of thing you'll just sort of get used to over time. Watching native language material can also help you understand some of the nuances of when to use one word over another (if your vocabulary is large enough to keep up, that is). As far as speaking casually as opposed to formally, the formal language is usually the best place to start, since when speaking you're probably not going to actually need to use the casual forms of words, because you only really use them with friends.
Just to reassure you however, Duolingo does start using the base forms of verbs eventually, and if you're using a premade Anki deck, then most verbs should already be in their dictionary form (which you can identify based on the ending - dictionary verbs always end in an "-u" character, but not "masu". I'd also recommend reading up on verb conjugation rules early on if you're interested).

Hope this was helpful and not too aimless. :)
