Because there was a big fracture and doubt in the community support for Wayland, not to mention alternatives like mir popping up and diverting resources.
- bluGill 2y agoA lot of things liked mir happened over the years and didn't go anywhere. Most tried to fix problems with x that the x developers said were not the real problems. When wayland came it was supported by people who knew the real problems with x. They have also proven to keep working - no surprise at they had a history of working on x.
- guappa 2y agoThey "claimed" to know the real problems with X. But the fact that wayland is still lacking features shows otherwise.
- bluGill 2y agoX is also lacking features. I use wayland and find it works great.
- guappa 2y agoThe fact that it works for you doesn't invalidate the fact that it doesn't work for a lot of people.
- bluGill 2y agoThat goes both ways. X worked for me before I switched to wayland. However there are plenty of people who X didn't work for and they were complaining.
- guappa 2y agoYes and 16 years of work later we're worst off than we were 16 years ago. Do you see how some might think it wasn't the best strategy?
