From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I only just switched to Linux last month that time I don't know what Wayland or X11 is and I just use Linux like normal without knowing I'm using Wayland (KDE), now since I'm already configured my KDE desktop on Wayland and I don't wanna do it again, so I'm looking for a remote desktop that work under Wayland not locally but from anywhere does anyone know software like that exist? (Sorry for horrible English)

Its syntax is incredibly similar to C++, the programming language it is targeting as a replacement. I don't really understand the confusion here; have you never used C++?

have you never used C++

Only for 20 years

Then I don't really understand the issue here. It's syntactically similar to C++ with the benefits of being memory safe. It's a different language, so there are different conventions and some different syntax of course, but that's to be said about any 2 languages; they are always different in some ways. I don't see a reason to complain about the aesthetic value of a language you don't know how to use, especially when it's similar to one that you seem to be using regularly.

Well, even moreso than it being hard to read, to me it's just ugly. So in that regard I don't think it really matters if I can understand it in the first place, if I just can't stand to look at it to begin with. Like it just makes me not even want to try. I get a similar vibe with Ruby as well.
