Wayland was the worst turn the Linux desktop world could ever take. No accessibility²³, no compatibility with the most prevalent graphics cards (NVidia*) and no use for anyone other than maintainers¹.
Also, lots of bugs in derived works (e.g. KDE) and due to hostility of maintainers noone wants to file bugs for Wayland. Yeah I know this gets flagged, but maybe it inspires others to compete with Wayland. I'd welcome to join.

- Vilian 3y agothis gonna get flagged because it is an opinion that could had make sense 5 years ago, or worse
- rektide 3y agoThe are tiny potatoes and or isn't make sense. Why yes, developers are needed to fix issues? Of course Nvidia support is shit, Nvidia are monsters & want to gatekeep all innovation & have happily not participated in any ecosystem since forever. The accessibility page looks like a bunch of validation that most of the current tools work fairly well, with a couple gnits. What we had wasn't going to keep working. Change isn't fun. But moaning & whining & refusing to rip off the bandaid is not the path. Try to not be so distressed.
