As long as you focus on competent administration, the three party system will stay strong. The third party is for bringing policies and ideas to the national stage. Because any time the two most powerful parties are ignoring popular policy, the second party will partner with the third to gang up on the party in power or the party in power will court the third to prevent it. Either way, the third party gets a national voice. And the third party has to focus on popular policy because they do not have enough power to do anything else.

The issue is that politics in Canada is increasingly adopting the team sports US model. Instead of being FOR certain policies or ideas, people are AGAINST somebody else. In that game, you only need two teams.

Which one is his son? Let’s kick start the real conspiracy.

Trump was elected by a last minute surge of young, male, anti “woke” sexists.

I only bring this up to highlight the absurdity of claiming that Trump somehow represents wealth hoarding boomers. Hardly.

There are plenty of billionaires in red states but the largest percentage of “wealth hoarding boomers” are in the far wealthier blue states. They are not Trump voters. These are all easy facts to confirm.

I was trying to think of the oldest hardware I have run modern Linux on (probably an old Pentium II) when I remembered that I used to run SLS on a 486 (33 MHz, 4 MB of RAM).

Well, Niri is a dynamic and scrolling tiling compositor. So it offers that.

Well, and Niri supports Wayland.

I use Plasma 6 on Wayland on devices as old as 2009 and as new as 2020. Apple laptops to Intel desktops with GPUs from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA.

Wayland is better than Xorg on every machine I run.

I can absolutely deny that Wayland has stability issues. Plasma 6 under Wayland is the most stable desktop I have used.

In any Wayland discussion, I think people using Debian or older NVIDIA drivers (pre-555 for sure) need to identify themselves. They seem to be the ones most convinced that Wayland does not work yet (because they are still experiencing what it was like years ago).

As for “support”, that is desktop environment dependent as it mostly depends on protocol and XDG desktop portal maturity. KDE has the most complete support (not a bias-just a fact), then GNOME, then Hyprland and the Wlroots based environments, with MATE and Cinnamon not quite there yet, and XFCE totally trailing.
