> You cannot quickly and switch desktop orientation, resolution and layout (not to mention drivers) seamlessly like on Windows without killing your entire X-session. On my Ubuntu system, I can change orientation, resolution, and layout from a little control panel without restarting the session. I have no idea if Xorg restarts; the superficial behavior is almost identical to Windows. From the user's point of view, it doesn't seem to matter. > For end-user Linux to ever become user-friendly Xorg needs a complete architectural overhaul. Every mainstream desktop environment seems to have handled the major aspects of display usability just fine. The only serious issues I've encountered have been one-off bugs related to drivers. > I cannot see anyone arguing this. Everyone agrees X is a mess. But why must we continue to use X and not Wayland?
