Mine is rooted and neutered. Something might leak through, but I'm not making it easy for them.

And wayland represents the overly friendly postman that left the house with a satisfied smirk just as the daddy board came home from his hard workday as an xorg liason.
I remember messing around with font servers 25 years ago in XFree86. Are font servers still a thing with X11?
nvidia drivers aren't THAT bad imho. I just had to experiment with different driver and kernel versions to get my 4060 running properly on my primary PC.
X (not formerly twitter) is decades old and is built around deprecated ways of doing things as well as a lot of legacy functions.
Wayland is a relatively new project with the aim of replacing X as a more "modern" display server.
Wayland had some stability issues, but they've since improved.
I'm sure Wayland is good and all, but I can't be arsed replacing X yet. I don't really have any skin in the game, I just don't replace functioning components just because they're old (FYI, bash turns 35 this year). While X does what I need it to do, I'll keep using it. I'll probably move over when my distro does.
I'll leave the technical explanation to someone else.
Experienced the same thing earlier. Tracker works, it's just thhe site itself, but it sporadically works.
Linux veteran of 20+ years here. I use Mint on my desktop.
Because we too appreciate things working out of the box.
"Pivot to video" - How many popular sites turned to shit and died 15 years ago.
I was about to suggest of=/dev/dsp, but that devnode doesn't seem to be in use anymore
I have caps lock remapped to compose (I use US-Dvorak, but sometimes need scandinavian letters).
When asked about not needing an actual caps lock, my go-to answers are that "I don't write SQL code often enough" or"Caps lock is only needed for the youtube comment section about videos you don't like"
In all seriousness, I don't see why wr need a caps lock key anymore. I just have it remapped as it's conveniently placed and never used.
There are many approaches, depending on what broke. In my case the system was fine, just xorg being completely borked. So I logged into the console and fixed it.
If regular console doesn't work, something really went bad during boot, for which there's single-user mode which is kind of similar to safe mode from Windows 98 (I'm sure there's something similar in newer windows versions).
And of that doesn't work, there's the minimalistic rescue shell.
And if that doesn't work, you can boot from a USB or some other external media and try to fix your system from that, maybe even using chroot to use the system somewhat normally.
I have moved over to inhouse hosting, but I exclusively used hetzner for years, a lot of it via the auction.
If you don't need something very specific, the auction is a great way to spin up something cheaply.
