    Can’t wait for Wayland to be ready in cinnamon. Possibly mean that literally as X is a laggy mess with fractional scaling. Maybe fedora with gnome will be my first distro hop.

      As someone with extremely limited Linux experience I feel like I just read another language.

      “Can’t wait for Frooperdum to be ready in meeperpeep. Possibly mean that literally as Momo is a laggy mess with Weeble trailing. Maybe goomervoobo with hermanin will be my first sprunk popple.”

      :P

        As a Linux user, I’ll be the first to concede that a lot of terms and names are… weird. It wouldn’t surprise me if half of those made up words you just posted as satire are actual software projects.

        Anyway, as for the ones you didn’t understand, I can easily explain them for you (in windows-friendly terms) if you truly want to know. I just try to avoid unsolicited infodumping.

          Not the original commenter, but we need more level-headed Linux users like you that can explain to us noobies/dabblers of Linux things we don’t understand. For that, I want to say that I appreciate you!

        I’ll never forget this tech headline from a the early days of android:

        Google Nexus Android Ice-cream Sandwich Guinea Pig

        I only started six months ago and still consider my experience to be limited. These are just the names of some flavours of Linux, desktop environments, and display servers.
