Dear future Wayland thingie: Stop closing all my apps if you have an error.
Then I will consider using it.
So far all the software I use runs in X.
- charcircuit 3y agoIf X crashes or is killed it closes everything too
- Shorel 3y agoNo it doesn't, that's the point. The X server is restarted, my apps are still open.
- incrudible 3y agoThey must have never experienced Xorg crashing. Neither have I. That speaks for Xorg. It has been over a decade and I keep finding myself disabling Wayland still. That said, Linux is not my primary driver, I just can not be bothered.
- Brian_K_White 3y agoSince 94 or 95 I've never seen it happen once, multiple different *nix no less. Even in the hand-edit modelines days, even then I never saw X itself crash if it started at all.
- bitwize 3y agoI've seen it crash a few times, typically when I'm running a flaky video driver, like Matrox Millennium in the old days or nouveau more recently. Modern Windows, by contrast, knows how to restart a crashed video driver, without the clients even knowing anything has happened.
- kaba0 3y agoSo wayland implementations can also get to exactly this stability level with time. In fact, I don’t remember any crashes from the past 3 years from continuous usage.
