I can bag on Wayland for days for being broken at an architectural level ...
However, the real root problem is that the number of people who really give one iota of damn about "desktop interaction semantics" is vanishingly small.
Developers who want Unix and want their display to "simply work" switch to Apple. Consequently, the only people left behind are the very fractious minority on Linux who care about a zillion different edge cases.
I really don't see a good way to fix things.
- JasonFruit 3y agoThe fractious minority is here, yes, but also a large number of people like me who don't care about display quality, "desktop interaction semantics," or surface consistency at all, but care deeply about being able to use their computer as they please.

- globular-toast 3y agoI'm very happy with my Linux desktop. I think MacOS looks like a child's toy and Windows looks like it was created by 100 different people who hate each other. Each to their own.
- mcpackieh 3y agoI used MacOS for a few years but when it came time to get a new computer I switched back to Linux because nothing actually worked better in MacOS, and a few things worked worse. I think the best advantage to MacOS is knowing you'll have drivers, but that's a moot point for me because I buy hardware I know will work well with Linux. The "switch to Apple for things to work" narrative is a big meme.
