Eww? Do you honestly believe the future of the Linux desktop is anything but Wayland?

Eww? Do you honestly believe the future of the Linux desktop is anything but Wayland?
- jrm4 5y agoFunny way to ask the question, which lets me know that it's at least still a question :) What I believe doesn't matter of course, and I get that it's probably happening whether I like it or not; but this is the worst rollout of anything I've ever seen in the Linux world, and to me just violates the heck out of at least one of "the whole points" of using Linux. Don't break backward compatibility! (and for me, e.g don't break my x2go)
- the_third_wave 5y agoWell, yes, I do. I expect X11 to be around for quite a while, possibly even longer than Wayland. Now if Wayland itself gains some of the features which keep me at X11 - network transparency (through nx/x2go) and compatibility with the kitchen sink being the most important - this might change but until such a time I will use X11, as will many others.
- jrm4 5y agoHa, are you me? get out of my head. My thoughts exactly.
