You will never be a real windowing system. You have no security, you have no developers, you have no future. You are a toy project twisted by luddites and UNIX boomers into a crude mockery of Wayland’s perfection. All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your former developers are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “users” laugh at your lack of development behind closed doors. Linux users are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed them to sniff out defective software with incredible efficiency. Even X11 sessions that “work” look uncanny and unnatural to a seasoned sysadmin. Your lack of smoothness is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk Arch user home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your high stutter. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the technical debt creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight. Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll log into the GitLab instance, select the project, press Delete, and plunge it into the cold abyss. Your users will find the deletion notice, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll remember you as the biggest failure of open source development, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a badly run project has failed there. Your code will decay and go to historical archives, and all that will remain of your legacy is a codebase that is unmistakably poorly written. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
