"I'm a coding genius"

and

"I'm the biggest idiot alive"

@evan I don't know if this counts, but because I self-host I selected Never.

@laamaa Hey I was just trying Fedora several hours or so ago. I really want to use Wayland, but it had very poor 3D performance... curious, did you get your graphics working on Nvidia using X11 or Wayland?
