Any day, uh, decade now...
I'm glad mint is dragging it's feet on Wayland.
As usual, Microsoft is shooting itself in the foot as much as possible with the shenanigans going on in Windows 11.
Luckily for Microsoft, Weyland is here to basically block any sort of hope of a good desktop UI for at least another 15 years on Linux.
I understand what the goals of the project were, The practical effects of Wayland have been to paralyze progress on viable Linux desktop.
- palata 2y agoSounds like you don't use Wayland. Can you elaborate on what paralyzes progress on Linux Desktop? From my point of view it works great...
- pjmlp 2y agoWhen Windows Vista was introduced with DirectX 10 being Vista only and not down ported, with a new driver model, there was this rage that everyone would be going into Linux Desktop. This keeps repeating every time a new Windows version comes out. Instead, people pick Apple and Google devices, and even if ChromeOS and Android have a Linux kernel underneath, that is pretty much irrelevant for the ecosystem of JavaScript, Java, Kotlin and C++ applications. Or they just stay on Windows no matter what.
- palata 2y agoMy beef with people moving to Linux because they are pissed at Windows is that often, they don't want Linux. Or said differently, they want Linux to look and feel like Windows, and push for that. I have seen many developers who are on Ubuntu apparently because it's free, but they behave like if it was Windows. They don't understand that Linux is not just Ubuntu and that they should not assume that everybody is running exactly their version of Ubuntu. IMO if they want something that looks and feel like Windows, they should stay on Windows.
