I still think having multiple display server implementation is a mistake.
Qt/KDE is lagging behind and there are no easy way for them to catch up.
Had the display server been a single implementation, Qt/KDE can focus on WM/Widget..

I am fine with having multiple implementations, we don't want to get stuck with a defacto standard, but don't blaming KDEs choices on Wayland.
- kaba0 3y agoIt’s not ideal, but what is the alternative? We couldn’t even agree about an implementation language, and there are many more decisions that are display-server specific. Wlroots is there for those who wants it and can agree with its design tradeoffs and it is used by plenty niche wms, so I think we have it as good as is feasible in a bazaar style, “everyone works on what they like” fashion. Without a higher power to spearhead a single project there can’t really be a difference.
