People have it working OK but it'll never be part of the base system.

People have it working OK but it'll never be part of the base system.
- bitwize 3y agoThe BSDs need a Wayland story quick because X is going bye-bye. GNOME and then KDE will probably remove their X code paths before the decade is out.
- ben_bai 3y agoHAHA, Xorg will always be with us. GNOME and KDE will maybe do something like that, but that's no problem.
- NackerHughes 3y ago> X is going bye-bye This has been the 'Wayland story' for 15 years now.
- shmerl 3y agoIt's accelerating now becasue finally most decided not to spend time on maintaining X. Everyone who was sleeping on it finally woke up and realized they need to do something or they'll be left with no support. They can either maintain X themselves now or they'll use Wayland.
- LanzVonL 3y agoNobody maintains X. Volunteers fix it, companies add drivers. Freedesktop is defrauding their donors, by claiming to "maintain and extend X" and failing to do so. Other people will pick up the slack once the weirdos at Freedesktop formally announce they're finished.
- shmerl 3y agoWhen no one fixes it, "volunteers fix it" doesn't sound like a promising proposition. But sure. I suppose if someone wants to stick with it for reasons, they'll care to fix it.
- LanzVonL 3y agoX isn't going bye-bye. Heck the current "maintainers," who are trying to kill it, don't even do anything but merge code given to them by other people. You'll never win. At best you can kill it from Red Shat. I find the snarky, hubristic nature of Wayland boosters to be insufferable. Whole thing's a huge dumpster fire too.
