After more than forty years, everyone knows that it’s time to retire the X Window System – X11 for short – on account of it being old and decrepit. Or at least that’s what t…
I started linux with wayland and i have no clue why it’s such a controversy lmao.
I recently ran into an user that rarely used x11. We were testing lsfg-vk, and right now it has a bug that when you close the game it most of the time it hangs and doesn’t quick properly.
The person complained about having to open the terminal to kill the app when it hangs and I had to explain that this is not an issue for me because I use xkill which they never knew was a thing that avoided that whole mess of having to open a terminal to kill a window.
But anyways, not a big deal if you can no longer use xkill, it is a very handy tool that saves a lot of key presses but not a vital thing in the end.
The big issue holding me on x11 is that there is no way to merge multiple displays as one, something that on x11 is a very simple xrandr --setmonitor is impossible on wayland, there is no way to do it.
