Because yes if a programming project do that you could ship the same program in a portion of memory needs.  Now maybe not a floppy but still much better than now.

So no it's not bullshit for every application to ship with each own operating system!! as long as you have the luxury to have cheap unlimited memory . I would personaly have no problem my guest to bring their own refrigarator and bed if i had big house..

Anyway as  i have argued in another post one merit of a good distribution can be lowering the pressure on ram, or allowing more apps than running apps in container like formats.  But that would put pressure on upstream programmers to lower their push for eternal shiny updates to grab eyeballs.

Strangely i cannot edit my initial post. I dont know why it's locked. I dont plan to delete it. I mean i have a fear of aggresive crawlers but i dont plan to delete it.

I also have some ideas  for a new display server. The main diff is moving away from pixels and away from windows. A visual-haptic-audio representation of a process's output should be 'porous'

I'll call it GipesCompProcessPorousCovers (GsCPPC). . Cover since its the superficial aspect of a process. GsCPPC could easily adapt it's data ui representations for accesibility. . GsCPPP will have pixel's as a visual representation choice but not as priority. Can a pixel transform easily into accessibilty compatible types? Dont think so.

As for security i will rephrase it into different semantics of isolation of something happening .Like dont wont to be distrurbed but lets not keep sharing out. An importand core semantics swift.

So if you want to become more adventurous and have time to kill please take a look on my thoughts and let's see how a display server could evolve towards some novel ideas.

->How X started.

->Copy paste... a hard problem ?

-> Should a display server contain a drawing API ?

->What is X ?   // As you'll read X is what 'you' want it to be. The needs change. For 80s MIT's Athena project X meant distributed computing and collaboration . Today for gaming industry X or Wayland means impressive addictive graphics to make money. (not necessarily interesting games) .   (like Angèle is implying in her song What You Want -- X is what YOU want... :-)  )

->To X or not to X ?

-> The need for cooperation as central motivation in Unix and GNUproject

well.. it's scary. to look back into history and see that X is .. not what programmer want but what the programmers were told to do in a certain society's context. For example there is ample evidence that Xfree86 (X port to x86) was driven from gaming gpu money.

Thats the small history lesson. If in a society the top priority was seamless (as far as possible) integration of people with disabilities and improving distributed computing then you would end in an entirely different display server and an top of that you should think hard about the transformative - adaptivity - sharingefficiency  of your interface-'cover' primitives and that would land you in a strange lands of ... semiokinetics,ethics and math.

Unfortunately (for some) in the driving seat of X's evolution is fancy consumer desktop and gaming industry money (it's not incidental that in the hands of the current maintainer's of X it stagnated and died  ) .Have anyone tested accessibility installation of Windows or Linux lately ? Well , in the attention harvesting economy you want to grab the client from his/her eyeballs!!.. Well who would have thought that to be blind in our era would be the best bullshit firewall  for a human brain.

I wonder it the upcoming pc market - pc gaming decline that started ,due to the ultrahyped AI related comp resource hoarding ,@   will shift the money dynamics.  .

As additional background I have worked on computers since 1982, started on Apple IIe, then Macs. As macs where "toys" at the time, needed to knew well windows ones to show they where not, so learned windows too. Then internet appeared, learn it, and so on until I retired.
Now I keep on it as a hobby, same as when I started.

A transformation that opposes creative spirits and upholds control as the highest value.

Beginings of that transformation:
