There might be some good stuff here for Wayland devs, but otherwise seems to be mostly the usual dumpster fire (good for for roasting popcorn, though).
Stopped reading at this gem from the OP a long way down:
> For all the Wayland proponents here, why argue in places like this, wouldn't it be a better use of your time to send PRs to fix things like MaartenBaert/ssr#431 and vkohaupt/vokoscreenNG#51.
Time perhaps to invoke Teddy Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Hats off to the Wayland devs. We're cheering you from the sidelines.

Just look at the amount of abuse has been flung at the SystemD developers from people who largely do not even know what it does.
- Jkvngt 6y agoThen again, mocking and taunting people for using X11, which works great for most people, repeating all over every social media outlet that “X11 is dead use Wayland LOL,” giggling about how once IBM pulls its developers from X11 that “nyaaa nyaaaaahhhhh you’ll have no choice” and other poor marketing decisions, apparently conceived by obnoxious children, have convinced many people to NEVER touch Wayland with a ten foot pole. It’s like the System D shills - they are HYPER obnoxious. I don’t need software made inside IBM, and I don’t need software which apparently can only gain adoption by obnoxious bullying. It’s too late for Wayland, much like it’s too late for System D. The hyper childish bullshit chased me, and many others, away.
