loonix and freetards, that's what

Yes. Everything in Linux is either a file, or a server, or both.
Windows really should open an RDP session on 127.0.0.1 upon start and then connecting the user to that on login. All video and input pumped through the TCP/IP stack, that would indeed be marvellous.
Asher Powell
Actually, on Unix, it would use local host, which is actually a Unix socket, so it wouldn't even touch the networking stack, let alone TCP/IP
Cameron Taylor
Unix was designed in the midst of the mainframe/terminal era, and its design reflects that. Users used to log in remotely via terminals, and for them to be able to do the the Unix host must run a server instance. Local login happens to be just a special case of remote login as far as the OS design is concerned.

How is 127.0.0.1 not localhost?
Jayden Rivera
They are treated differently. 127.0.0.1 is routed to the loopback network interface, and localhost is a direct IPC connection over Unix sockets.
Anthony Martinez
You have it backwards. The clients of an X server are the applications, not the display(s).
"Server" is just a way of describing the relationship between a program and the consumers of its api, and doesn't have to imply any relation to networking.
Levi Sanchez
please just kys
James Scott
X is shit over a network, which is why nobody does that anymore, it's all DRI now
Sebastian Anderson
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!
Michael Powell
hardware -> opengl drivers -> display server
pretty simple
but it's kinda wrong, wayland alone is no replacement for X
for example for font rendering you'd need some extra library with wayland

pls cat /etc/hosts, then kys

You have been visited by the fucking Linux multilayered graphics abstraction stack of bullshit. Now you know why it's slow and flaky.

1. You don't.
2. Native JSON logs are incredibly useful for logging systems like an ELK stack.
3. HTTP and HTTPS are rock solid standards that aren't going anywhere.
