Agreed. I wonder if there just isn't enough funding and developer interest to follow through on the ambitious goals of Wayland in a more reasonable time frame because of the maturity and increasing Unixyness of macOS and Windows.
Personally, I can't wait for the transition to finally end and for the Wayland ecosystem to achieve similar levels of maturity to X11. I've been donating to marcan's Patreon since the M1 was announced, and now that I own an M1 I intend to switch (back) to Linux when and if it becomes clear that everything will work smoothly (in terms of both hardware support and desktop Linux/Wayland in general).
- samus 5y agoThe issue with Wayland + Security is that nobody can really focus on it yet. Wayland works for like 90% of use cases, but X already works for something beyond 99.9% (rough numbers, I know). Until Wayland has caught up on the reliability front, new security features are probably on the backburner.
