I hope this becomes popular enough that a lot of major distros start adopting it as a default

Specifically because I want to see turbo-weirdos talk about how higher-quality cursors are “bloat” or “against KISS” for the next 10 years. 💀

Tbh I dont really see how anyone can call this bloat( I use doas btw). Its just so much more space efficient. 4 example I ported capitaine cursors and it takes below 200 kbs of space, its just that much more space efficient

You are most likely correct from a technical point of view.

But don’t ever underestimate the potential of weird folks to be – Weird.

Not that I think it’s per se a bad thing – But I feel like a lot of Linux people are pack bonded to the utilities and tools they have grown used to. Whatever justification they write comes after the fact from an emotional reaction to seeing the thing they are bonded with lose ground.

I snorted my coffee reading this. It’s probably more in the inevitably become true category rather than funny category too

If none of my predictions come true, I made some peeps laugh and that’s enough

If they do I get to call back to this post and pretend I’m smart (I am not)

Either way, it’s a net positive.

Don’t forget to delete this comment before you call back to the original one. Otherwise the future people will know you aren’t actually smart!

Edit: Also, hello there future people!

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
