That's what's insidious about Wayland. If it gave everyone a bunch of little paper cuts, it wouldn't be nearly as polarizing. Instead, it's great for the common use cases but unusably bad for the uncommon ones, so people who don't have any of the uncommon ones end up thinking that the people who do are exaggerating the problems.
- palata 2y agoBut the uncommon use cases are... uncommon. Not that they should be ignored, but then I don't get why it seems like everybody avoids Wayland.
- josephcsible 2y agoAny individual uncommon use case is uncommon, but there's a lot of uncommon use cases. I'd be very surprised if fewer than 20% of Linux users had at least one uncommon use case that X handles perfectly but that Wayland can't handle at all.
