That's been the sentiment for the past 12 years and X11 still works great and wayland implementations are a buggy, slow, featureless mess.
- tjoff 6y agoThey aren't though. And X is pretty deprecated by now.
- Avamander 6y ago> They aren't though. Remote desktop, game screen recording, screenshots, how do those work?
- tjoff 6y agoAs I said, there are pain points. If you need application X to do Y and it doesn't work in wayland that might be a dealbreaker for you. I'm having no issues with screen recording and screenshots. Haven't attempted nor need remote desktop but know people that do it. Obviously don't have the same breadth of alternatives such as X.
- posix_me_less 6y agoX is not deprecated by the global community at all, only by the few who push Wayland.
- tjoff 6y ago... and those developing X.
- arepublicadoceu 6y agoYou can honestly say it has less features than you would like, but saying that it's buggy, slow and a mess is simply dishonest. For instance, Wayland handle my multi dpi displays like a champ. Whereas xorg is a no end nightmare with no acceptable outcome; In wayland, I have tearfree scrolling by default. Whereas on xorg I have to access some old magic knowledge hidden in the archwiki. So, in a sense, wayland have more features (For me) than xorg, whereas xorg is the featureless mess (For me).
