This sort of thing makes Wayland less defensible to me then - why fragment the user and developer base even further?

- dralley 3y agoBecause Xorg is broken and Xwayland works well enough as a translation layer to tide everyone over even if it's not ideal.
- imtringued 3y agoYou are free to develop an X11 subset that is easier to maintain and convince existing Xorg users to switch to your subset.
- Qwertious 3y agoArcan ( arcan-fe.com ) looks like it could fill that niche, but its developer has gone out of his way to avoid attention and is primarily focused on getting the core protocol right, rather than trying to drive adoption. I'm personally hoping that, come ~2025, Arcan v1.0 is released, the WM crowd largely switches to Arcan-based systems, and Wayland becomes the new JACK (with X being the new ALSA, I guess?).
