That's certainly not my story from a user's perspective. For over a decade now, whenever I install a new system, at some point, some thing or another doesn't work and the simple fix ends up something like:
WaylandEnable=false
Surely there are interesting arguments to be made about how the design and philosophy behind Wayland is so much better than that of X, but the way I experience it is that Wayland is a nuisance, whereas X just does what it should do.
- orangeboats 3y agoNever in my decades of Linux usage have I ever seen this "WaylandEnable=false" config option. If anything, Wayland has always been the _opt-in_ setting for many applications, not _opt-out_ as you are suggesting.
- incrudible 3y agoWayland has been opt-out on Fedora /w GNOME since 2016 and Ubuntu since 2018 (though they briefly reverted due to issues). I guess "for over a decade" was a poor choice of words, but that's what it felt like.
