Feels good to hear someone else say this. I regularly try switching and always end up finding bugs in the DE or clients. Some issues I’ve found have existed for years with no fix in sight.
I worry we’ll end up in a situation where X11 starts accumulating bugs due to lack of maintenance while Wayland takes ages to mature.
Ignoring the obvious bias of the author, I will address some points:
In spite of its unequivocal accomplishments and successes, China has, during the past decade or more, spawned a mountain of bad debt, unprofitable and uncommercial infrastructure and real estate, empty apartment blocks and little-used apartments and transport facilities, and excess capacity in, for example, coal, steel, solar panels and electric vehicles.
The author fails to see the bigger picture. Empty houses built when labor is plentiful become occupied eventually. See Pudong, once a “ghost city”, now has a population of 5 million. Infrastructure which doesn’t directly pay for itself does so indirectly. It should be obvious that extra capacity in solar panels and electric vehicles has potential to be a very good thing.
China’s leaders have been vocal this year about strengthening consumption and about improving the business environment for private firms and entrepreneurs, who have been pressured or punished to align their commercial interest with the party’s political goals.
Oh no, how dare the government force their interests on the poor businesses.
Fedora is nice, not based on Ubuntu, and it mostly “just works” out of the box. The only obnoxious part is having to manually install codecs to play videos.
One of my all time favorite games. The only thing that would have made it better for me is a time-based story a la Dead Rising. Though that would have probably made the game even less successful than it was.
