If you aren’t interested in more parts of Linux or computers then you are likely not going to be reading this community. For example you made the comment, but you also state you have a home lab. So you’re at least partially interested in more.

Then by definition you are not in that category. You’re interested in more. So you both are interested in more and are in this community.

If you’re in that category you’re probably not in this community.

He didn’t. He wanted to use x11. You are completely incapable of reading. My analogy makes more sense because it’s describing what he did.

Since copy on highlight is default you literally just have to accidentally drag your mouse cursor in a terminal window and boom, you’ve copied empty text. It’s incredibly annoying.

he got hardware that worked with the default setup for the majority of linux DEs at the time… he literally followed your suggestion and has been waiting for support for it in wayland for a decade.

this has to be the dumbest argument I’ve seen in a few months on here. you’re literally telling someone to sell their car because you want them to switch to a different kind of engine that currently isn’t compatible with their car, even though they haven’t wanted to switch to a new engine for a decade.

agreed. and middle click being paste has to be one of the stupidest defaults. I understand people use it, and whatever, everyone has their own workflow, but now middle click to drag doesn’t work and you’ve confused everyone since now it’s different everywhere.

it isn’t if you’ve copied from an empty field by accident, or if your clipboard is empty.

It’s not. It’s literally code in an unsafe block. The OP is either trolling or actually ignorant.
