- AlienRobot 2y agoI used Windows 7 until Steam stopped working. The band-aid stays on.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoPerhaps if the X devs want people to migrate, they should consider giving Wayland all the features of X. Otherwise people are going to keep using the thing that works.
- ChocolateGod 2y ago> all the features of X I don't think Wayland should add a print server ;)
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoNo, but there should exist a print server that Wayland applications can use. I don't object to refactors and replacements, but the underlying features should still exist.
- consteval 2y agoThere's 0 point in making a new software if you're just going to inherit all the fundamental design flaws that make the original software unmaintainable.
- erik_seaberg 2y agoGPUs live in desktops and phones, but apps live in remote datacenters, so the future seems to be sending rendering commands to Javascript frontends on end users' browsers.
- bitwize 2y agoPretty much, yeah. Hence why I say the replacement for X is Wayland, but the replacement for NeWS is the browser/Electron.
