As stated on the project page, by design, this is not meant to be a full-featured X11 server.
As such it will have it's own use cases, so I wanted to mention that there is a project that is a fork of X11 called XLibre.
It is, by design, meant to be a drop in replacement that will perpetuate X11 as Wayland starts to become the default.
The current release of Ubuntu 26.04 is the last version that will use X11. The next major release will use wayland.
Personally, I think it's a mistake to just write of X11 in favor of Wayland because they are not compatible in fundamental way, so I'm always glad to see projects like this and XLibre.
This is extremely disappointing corporate behavior coming from Motorola. I've had better luck with $350 unlocked Moto something I can use anywhere and comes with no bloatware. I like that part, do more of that.
This is what Amazon did with Amazon Prime. I was paying for no ads, then they added ads and demanded a ransomm of $36/year to return to the no-ad experience I was already paying for. I cancelled Prime and vote with my wallet by not giving them money. I also had AWS cloud stuff. I pulled everything. I don't believe that should even be legal, and there is probably a regulation against it that just isn't being enforced because the like of Amazon vote with money, because corporations are people and money is speech. The entire economic system in the USA is designed to do one thing, and one thing only. Find every way possible to make sure money goes up from the poorest to the richest. Citizens United must go if we want to see adults running the country again in good faith and with common-sense regulations opn the wealthiest corporations, and those with monopolies. We we are seeing is what happens when capitalism no longer has gaurdrails to protect consumer. I'm not anti-capitalism, but I do argure that umnregulated capitalism is unsustainable, and regulation is necessary bot both the good of the corporations and more importainly, the midle-class down to the poorest amongst us. Consumer protection used to be a thing, but all of the agencies that were a bulwark against enshittification have been dismantled or destroyed completely. Corporations are not people, and money is not political speech. Enshittification couldn't happen the way it is now where there were things the Consumer Saftey Board and other organizations that made sure there's no lead in your kids toys.
Now they sprinkle dopamine rewards all over the place to incentivize the thirst for even more. Especially if there are ads shown every time you get that dopamine hit.
TBF, text adventures absolutely "sprinkle dopamine rewards all over the place." The random-reinforcement effect is a big part of their appeal — as a player, you never quite know if you've seen "all the good stuff" yet.

There are people with billions of dollars that want the population of the US to drop significantly. It's hard to control 300+ million people, and that many people can just remove unpopular governments by marching in the millions. Also, I believe the "Georgia Guidestones" if I'm not mistaken, that have writing about reducing the population of the USA to 500,000. I much more manageable number. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into things.
Yes, you are reading too much into things. The ultrawealthy are supporting the current MAGA nonsense because they wish to permanently lock up the massive wealth transfer they've engineered over the past two decades, and the only way to do that is through a combination of nationalism, populism, and fascism.
Every part of the MAGA platform is a smokescreen of outrage, intended as cover for policies that favor the ultrawealthy.
An aware and motivated population legislates and taxes their way out of the establishment and perpetuation of dynasties; this has been done in the past.
I'm a proverbial greybeard and Ctrl+Alt+F7 used to just be what you did to get back to your desktop GUI.
FWIW, right now I'm typing this from Ubuntu Studio 24.04 and it's Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get back to the GUI. Ctrl+Alt+F1 shows you the bootup output scroll, +F3 to +F6 will give you a login prompt to drop into a shell. +F7 to +F12 just give me a blinking cursor un the upper right corner of the display.
I'm kinda surprised only +F3 to +F6 give me a shell login. Three isn't that many.
I think Ctrl+Alt+F1-F7 are Kernel provided Virtual Console things, and technically they can be connected to different things, I think like VC 5 -> /dev/tty5 -> a thread in /sbin/getty? The VC 7 used to be often opened up for X, but Ubuntu moved X to VC 1 at some point. I guess it's VC 2 now.
