The effort to improve is welcome and appreciated.
Casting multi-use graphical computing aside is unwelcome.
Most of the toxicity centers on HOW that discussion has played out.
To be fair, many users coming up on single user graphical computing have no idea what the problem is, do not have use cases and we all know the rest.
The users who do understand all that are pissed. They are being told none of it really matters or is necessary, and so on...
Of course all that is definitely not appreciated however spiffy watching videos about it all may be.
And, those users totally get the need to see the embedded use case improvements get done, and still are being asked to just forget multi user graphical computing was ever a thing because reasons...
So yeah, here we are.
People will care about Weyland exactly as much as the Weyland team cares about them.
Multi user graphical computing aware users are not cared about at all despite their repeated explanations on how they depend on that capability. Depend, as in, not having it becomes very expensive for them. Expensive enough to wash away all the value they are being told matters more to everyone else.
Non multi user graphical computing aware people basically just want it settled so they can have few overall worries. They feel some care aimed their way.
The embedded people are super happy and are cared about a lot.
All adds up to a very toxic state of affairs.
Factoring it all down:
Did we absolutely have to trade multi user graphical computing away?
Should the answer be no, this whole ugly mess will go away.
Continuing with a yes means a very painful and drawn out mess for years to come.
And it will be that way because there are plenty of people who really do get a lot of value out of multi user graphical computing.
Who knew?
I bet the former X devs did. And they just do not care.
Why exactly should they get any back in return?
