From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Dash-to-Plank specifically says it does not support Wayland. Plank has had an issue open about Wayland support since 2016, and they still haven't done it. Can't blame Wayland.
What's your use case for Plank? My guess is you're using GNOME wrong.
What is Dash-to-Plank? I just use Plank the dock app.

Lemmy never fails to surprise me with its toxicity.
"you're using it wrong" seems more like the official motto of Wayland whenever anything that isn't working on it is brought up.
Eh more of a gnome thing than a Wayland thing
"Wayland - it's not us, it's you"

True, but the creator of this post is worse
How so? By not supporting Wayland? Bruh
Well no, I just think this person has the same problematic altitude many of us have. We expect a large amount or work from bunch of Foss developers and we feel that we know everything there is to know about Linux.
I'm saying they are worse because I can relate.
The last past is weird but ok. Though if you think that being toxic is better than expecting too much from FOSS developers, I will do my best to argue as much and as hard as possible.
I wouldn't blame Lemmy for a few bad apples like Wildbus though. There are plenty of good people here.
I don't blame Lemmy even though the official instance (and therefore devs) is kinda sus. They even delete discriminatory comments that I report quite quickly. The thing is that I see toxic comments all the time and what surprises me is that often they're replies to non-provoking and absolutely reasonable posts/comments (this case is not anywhere near the worst I've seen). That means the people behind them are just very aggressive which still hurts me a lot even though I lost hope for humanity quite some time ago. I guess I see a bit more % of them in the wild than you do for some reason
