Mostly, I just hate the treadmill.
Over the last decade and a half I've written dozens of small tools, applets, etc to hone my desktop environment I use. Half of those have required patching, some don't work at all (like a nifty oneliner I used to kill of hung ssh connections by targeting the ssh process name, that no longer includes the ip or domain).
I will use X11 until I can't - simply because I do not want to rewrite my tooling.
- capitainenemo 4y agoAgreed. I use xdotool heavily, ssh -YC quite a lot. underpowered devices... I'm going to stay on X11 as long as there are options. Thankfully, there are still plenty of options, FOSS seems good at that long tail. Just like MATE still offers me a nice simple desktop that doesn't even force compositing for the particularly wimpy laptop.
- vidarh 4y agoSame here. Nothing provided by Wayland gives me a compelling reason to switch as long as X11 keeps working for me.
- jgb1984 4y ago+1, I'll stick to X and openbox as long as I can
