I'm always cautious about the points made in blogs that have bold titles that don't accurately reflect the content, such as this one. In short, this blog title could be "My criticisms of Wayland."
That being said, I've migrated to Wayland this year because it has become more stable for what I run compared to Xorg, and from following the Wayland and Fedora projects closely, I feel it has recently reached a high level of development, and more importantly, development interest (both of which will likely cause it to supplant Xorg sooner than later). In short, Wayland definitely seems like the Way to go ;-)
- sprash 3y agoThe "development interest" in Wayland is still mostly carried by corporate full time paid developers. Wayland as such has had zero community mindshare in the FOSS ecosystem (until Hyprland came along but that is literally just one guy). And for a reason: The protocol is not suited for Desktops at all. It was developed for car entertainment systems and mobile phones. As a result it makes things that should be simple (like creating a window, printing a string, taking a screenshot) incredible hard for developers.
- jasoneckert 3y agoBoth the Fedora and Asahi projects are stellar examples of community mindshare for Wayland in the FOSS ecosystem.
