I guess I'm just hoping for some user that will be bugged enough by problems in Wayland that they decide to fix them. The chance of that increases with user count.
I understand that the bulk "forest" of Linux users don't care about their window manager / desktop environment, but it's a higher number than in other operating systems. This approach wouldn't work in Windows or MacOS, in Linux it might.
- LtWorf 3y agoWhy learn about wayland and figure out how to fix things (and then probably have gnome developers never ever accept your fix) when you can just switch to Xorg in 3 seconds?
- yencabulator 3y agoBecause nobody maintains Xorg anymore. Wayland was started because the Xorg developers thought Xorg had come to the end of the road and was unfixable. You can think of Wayland as X12, except without copyright/trademark concerns.
- LtWorf 3y ago> Because nobody maintains Xorg anymore Latest release in June… https://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/ https://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/ Doesn't seem extremely abandoned.
- hashworks 3y agoThere are good reasons to switch to Wayland. Features, security Standards and it being in active development are some of them. Of course no one has to use / switch to anything, but reaching a critical mass of users would be helpful in the long term.
- LtWorf 3y agoYou CAN use multiple sub-instances of Xorg for security… Nobody does it but firejail supports it.
