Psssshht! I mean really! Who wants to setup a thin-client model at their business anyway? I mean saving millions of dollars? What's up with that?!
and it has ugly ass fonts....
Damn straight! Anyone who has zero knowledge about X knows that the fonts are hard coded into the display manager. And that there's no way you can add new fonts to it.
and it has shit write to hardware through TCP ports...
Like, I'm saying, yo! There ain't no client/server interface. When you be sending them X packets to the other computer, you're talking directly to the hardware! That's why every X command is "add ax,bx" and sh*t like that! It's pure assembly, bro!
Everyone knows that the only way to do it is to build a gigantic motherf*cking graphics subsystem into the kernel so that your system resources are halved and your OS crashes every week. Like, that's the ONLY way it should be.
