I think Wayland is a nice way forward from X, right now it's still not a replacement because of how central X is and how much stuff interfaces with it specifically or make assumptions about X features. (and so indeed, Wayland kind of breaks "everything")
But I also think that they (Wayland) took a way too heavy napalm approach to the solution, almost like they totally ignored how painful such a transition would have been. I still don't get it...
- PurpleFoxy 6y agoYou can quite easily be using wayland right now and not even notice it. It’s even the default on some distros now. Basically the only things holding it back are proprietary screen capture tools and nvidia.
- 01acheru 6y agoI'm not saying you cannot use it, in fact I use it (with minor hassles here and there) But this last step is taking ages, what I don't understand is why it had to be such a painful process without a migration path (hence we are still talking about it and the transition still didn't happen)
