It doesn't make sense to be hostile about Wayland just because you can't use it due to your poor choice of graphics hardware. X still works. Just use that! No one needs to get upset.
- throwaway2048 8y agowayland's plan is to superseded then depreciate X11 (ie X11 stops development). Again, you understand this and are just being glib and offering solutions _you know to be broken_ (because getting rid of x11 is the entire goal of wayland to begin with). There is a ton of dishonesty underlying your arguments, and you sure as hell don't do any favors for Wayland, or how people perceive it when you use dishonest bs like this.
- vetinari 8y agoIt is then up to Nvidia to find a way forward, once X11 development stops. After all, they monopolized driver development for their GPUs, so when something breaks, they get to keep all the pieces.
- Spivak 8y agoThis is the real answer. The Wayland devs are the X11 devs. When the music stops and X11 development ends Nvidia is going to have to make the choice between supporting Wayland or dropping support for graphics on Linux.
