my Quest. OTD: WHAT is your FAVORITE thing about X?
Its a serious question, nevermind the CAPS in the title.
X is a huge program and I dont understand 2 lines of code in it and ive never even looked,
sometimes it breaks and feels vulnerable, but multiple, clearly presented xterms is my idea
of a good user interface, firefox and the GIMP being availiable are just the icing on the cake.
What i just noticed, that i LOVE for the moment is that i can switch to a plain old getty (which might be running behind X anyway)
(gosh so many people wana jump you for the littlest discrepancy or point of ignorance, im constantly covering my ass and im sick of it)
.. anyway that i can switch terminals without losing my stdout backlog, that not only bothers me but hinders me and its one of the reasons why I who wont sacrifice the keyboard driven ui, use X windows.
I hope you will respond to this so that i and the others can find out more about X in general and find our Xperiences more enriched.
pax!
