Sad to say, Wayland just isn't ready for prime time. Like Achilles and the tortoise, it's just not achievable for X to ever be overtaken.

- mattpallissard 3y agoI'm not sure why people think that. I been using sway since the early days. I don't even have xwayland installed. It's been mostly a non-issue. The only real pain for me was screen sharing, and that's been a solved problem for a few years now.
- Dr4kn 3y agoA software that gets almost no commits, which devs all now develop Wayland and won't get any modern features is never going to be overtaken? Last year x had [156](https://www.phoronix.com/news/XServer-2022-Development-Pace#:~:text=But%20it's%20not%20just%20on,lines%20and%20179k%20lines%20removed https://www.phoronix.com/news/XServer-2022-Development-Pace#....) commits that's almost as low as in 2003. On its high in 2008 it had over 2000. X is dying. All the development is on Wayland. Even the maintainers of x think it is an unmaintainable mess, which they do not understand. They either quit or work on Wayland. How long does a software need to be on life support to be overtaken? Read [this](https://www.phoronix.com/review/x_wayland_situation https://www.phoronix.com/review/x_wayland_situation) and you might understand why x got abandoned
- paul_funyun 3y agoYou'd expect less commits on a mature, full-featured product. That repairmen are always working on a car is no endorsement of its functionality.
- vetinari 3y agoDo you realize we are discussing such things here, that X doesn't support at all?
