Wayland was supposed to be the rescue from the arcane outdated X11 and it is severely disappointing. The reason is that it does not offer enough features. It should have font rendering, it should have window decorations by default it should have native UI widgets and much more. None of it is offered and the responsibility is pushed away to others like Gnome, KDE and believe it or not, X11.
IMHO the monolithic kitchen sink approach of systemd should be applied to wayland. Not the other way around.
- Meing4im 8y agoI would argue that wayland is still in beta. They are still designing extensions to reimplement X11 desktop features. But with wlroots things have picked up pace.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoBeta for over a decade. That's Google levels of beta. When can we expect a real wayland release then? 2035? When it will still be 10 years behind DWM?
