> I asked you to name even one thing sway did better and you tell me about the nature of the legacy code base. OK, let me rephrase it: a feature it has over i3 is a higher probability of running on the platform provided by most distros in 5 years' time. > No user on earth cares any more than they care about the sharpness of the blades used to grind the sausage they ate for breakfast. Indeed. But if you're choosing a sausage you wanna have for breakfast for the next few years, you might choose better than the one made from the animal that people fear might go extinct. > I'm not sure why you imagine that nvidia is obligated to support Linux in the fashion you would prefer. Oh not the fashion I prefer. The fashion the Linux developers prefer. Most other providers of hardware seem to. What makes Nvidia special? > X11s future departure seems like a thin justification seeing as it's future seems pretty secure for the next decade. Perhaps. You may well be proven right, but I wouldn't bet that X11 is able to attract sufficient manpower to keep up going forward. Time will tell. I'm not trying to convert you. I'm trying to give one argument why Sway might offer something that i3 doesn't.
