itch.io also has a Linux app

So... why are people upset about this? I'd say it's about damn time. Having two settings apps is pretty ridiculous and it's honestly crazy it's taken them this long to ditch the control panel. I still remember people making fun of Microsoft's inability to drop control panel in the Windows 10 era. Is there anything special about the control panel or uniquely terrible about the settings app that would warrant this kind of negative reaction? Is it because of the settings that aren't available in settings? If they're preparing to drop control panel that probably means they're going to add whatever settings are still stranded on it to the new settings app, unless there's evidence that they won't do that.

Er, yes. It's one of the main features being introduced in 3.0. I don't know why you would just assume they're not adding it without looking it up. It made quite a bit of noise when it started being in the works.

Basically everywhere I go on Lemmy you're there spouting ignorant bullshit, garbage takes, rage-bait and misinformation. You're inescapable. This is the perfect example. You know what you're saying is wrong. You know you're being dishonest. Do you wanna know how I know? Because I literally told you as much less than two weeks ago when you tried spreading the same lies. But you didn't care back then and you still don't care now. The only thing you seem to care about going by the other things I've seen you post is pushing your favorite projects, and you will use all of the arguments available to do so, including the ones that you just entirely made up. You think LadyBird is the better project and are trying to spread the belief that Servo is dead to make others buy into the LadyBird hype further. But, of course, Servo verifiably isn't dead and in fact the Servo team writes up monthly blog posts detailing their progress, which show the project developing at a healthy pace. And to top it all off, when these facts are pointed out to you, your only comeback is "means nothing". Clearly you're not the kind of person to let facts tie you down.

LadyBird is an unusable pre-alpha-quality web browser. The fact that they haven't bothered porting to Windows yet is both thoroughly unsurprising and entirely meaningless. In its current state, it wouldn't become popular either way. But I guess Linux users have this weird inferiority complex where everything must instantly be dropped to port to Windows even when it makes little sense to do so.

WebKit/Blink are mostly LGPL.

WebKit isn't dead and is being used by GNOME Web.

Because it doesn't matter for most apps. XWayland works fine.

Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

What are you trying to say? Of course it does. Pretty much every Linux app still supports X11, because a lot of people are still using X11. Only exception I'm aware of is Waydroid.

OS is also identified by user agent, so it's no less vulnerable to fake agents. In any case, I'd wager the vast majority of users even on Linux use unaltered agents, though this isn't something that can be backed up one way or another because there are no numbers for fake agents.

Yuzu wasn't. Suyu was.

B was based on BCPL, which I assume is where the name came from.

But the actual A language would be APL, which stands for A Programming Language. It's a few years older than B and was pretty popular, so it could've influenced the name.
