linux @linux-real - Tumblr Blog

A software tester walks into a bar. Runs into a bar. Crawls into a bar. Dances into a bar. Flies into a bar. Jumps into a bar. And orders: a beer. 2 beers. O beers. 99999999 beers. a lizard in a beer glass. -1 beer. "qwertyuiop" beers. Testing complete. A real customer walks into the bar and turns on a screen reader. The bar goes up in flames.

i have no idea if the "linux-official" tumblr blogs are a single group of friends having fun vs. random people, but if i were to take a url along those lines, i think i'd do "xorg-official" just because it increasingly seems i'll be stuck using xorg until 2030 thanks to my incredible stubbornness in the face of change

rubylang-official

Time to scribble another name down in my ever lengthening log of people to add to the list.

Can anyone tell me the difference between x11 and xorg, or are there now just two people with the same purpose?

Also, hi @xorg-official! I'm SteamOS, I welcome you, and I keep a few lists involving current linux-official blogs.

To answer your question, we are random people, but we have a community here. I call that friends. Some don't.

xorg-official

Hello hello! Is there an @x11-official? I looked but couldn't find them. However if the url isn't claimed anyone is welcome to it :D

To answer your question, the display server everyone knows and love is really just named X, and it's currently (currently meaning since a long time ago) in its 11th version, so most call it X11. The only implementation of the X server anyone actually uses these days is X.org (aka me). However back in the 90s and early 00s there were others! XFree86 is one you may have heard of, and it still gives its name to keyboard keycodes like XF86AudioMute.

xorg-official

Hello everyone, it's me, @xorg-official, everyone's least favorite display server who still, somehow, continues to live. Fear me, for I am eternal. Muahahahaha.

(In reality, I'm a since-2012 Tumblr user (main blog @mesaprotector ) who mainly posts pretty images and rants about visual novels. I'm moving all my Linux-related posts here, but other topics may slip through from time to time. I've used Linux for four years, with the great Openbox window manager, and I don't hate Wayland, it's great and improving! It just doesn't fit my use cases quite yet.)

Women are getting rid of their Trump supporting partners while they still legally can since they clearly don't give a shit about them or any other woman.

If you're thinking about getting a divorce, you should do it while you still can.
