It may remove the screen tearing and be more secure, but it ensures that people coming into *nix won’t see how great it used to be. </p><p>Ot may not be systemd level of apocalypse.

Thomas Traynor<p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/mxlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mxlinux</span></a> just works for me and the wife. Starts up quickly on old hardware and light on resources. I have both machines configured to how we use them. For me I use <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/conky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conky</span></a> to show how the system is running and I tweaked it to show what I want to see. If I open <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/xterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xterm</span></a> then I have a choice of top or htop. It works for me.</p>
lorddimwit is now @rk@well.com<p>I’ve always wondered this. I’ve researched it briefly off and on, but never found a good answer.
