To add a couple of issues with Dynamic Libraries, and why someone would choose Static Libraries:

• The dynamic library being updated can break a program due to a change in the library. Think a math call goes from divide(a,b) to divide(a,b, precision), so now the old call doesn’t exist.
• Some languages don’t have a “stable” way to talk to itself. This means that if you have a program and library compiled with compiler version A, then later compile an update to the library with compiler version B, the program won’t know how to talk to the library correctly, even though the call is still there.

Like a lot of things, there are tradeoffs, and there is no universal correct choice.

Emacs with evil-mode or when I am banging around the console, neovim.

Wait, there is nothing after second life? What is the point of second life without third life to give it meaning? /s

Sundered. I would love to see the equivalent of Rogue Legacy 2 for that game, where the sequel completely supplants the original while expanding upon the storytelling and lore.

Also the director of “Canadian Bacon”.

As a vim user who recently started with Emacs, if you ever want to try it, use evil-mode to get vim motions.

You can run i3 inside XFCE on a per user basis, but convincing my wife/kids to swap users when they need the computer for “just a second”…

I just take the win that they are on Linux and use a shared account.

XFCE. I also like tiling WMs, but I often have to share computers and they are too unintuitive for the rest of the family.

As someone stuck in DTW, I feel the pain.

The beauty of Linux at home, you get to choose what works best for you.

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for “security”, so I would just ‘sudo bash’ which is obviously much safer /s.

I totally expect one day a XFCE (Wayland) option will show up, I will click it, forget I did, and use it forever more.

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn’t have Wayland yet
2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn’t work
3. I don’t change my setups that much, so I haven’t tried it since
4. I don’t need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

This is a great answer.
