Quite the unpopular opinion, but I just wanted to post this to show the silent majority that we still exist. We have reached a point where voicing criticism against wayland is treated like the worst thing ever and leads you to being censored and what not. The red hat funded multi year long shill campaign has proven to be quite successful. Now do the same for immutable distros and every new buzzword that restricts your ability to make changes to your system and the long term plan of completely sabotaging the linux desktop will finally come true. That is all.
You should be blaming the developers who aren’t developing FOR Wayland.
Actually, let me take that back a bit…
Developing for GUI is tough. Developing for TWO different display systems to render a GUI is twice as hard, and then each variant of the variant even further difficult. The fact is, the basic working of X started in the 70’s, became productized in the 80’s, and the X11 version we’ve all been working without in the early 90’s. Something had to change. This is that change.
As a developer who writes for Wayland, I prefer it. Most do. If every major distro had switched a few years ago, you’d be having a smoother experience right now, but here we are.
My point is: hate the ecosystem or whatever, but Wayland is a way forward, and keeping coherency for compatibility for both is hard. Do your best to help make a smoother transition for the devs working on such things if you are capable and have time.
