X is fine, most of the problems people bring up are niche and minor. Meanwhile, Wayland induces problems of its own, like breaking all sorts of accessibility systems and multi-window X applications with no solution in sight.
- throwaway2037 2y ago> multi-window X applications I believe you. Can you share an example? To be clear, I'm pretty sure this can be done with Gtk and Qt, but maybe you are talking about older apps written directly in Xlib or Xt?
- aragilar 2y agoIt's not the toolkit (as they work on X11 and other OSes with the existing toolkits), it's Wayland that's the issue (there are a series of Wayland protocols to implement this, but they are being blocked).
- kubav027 2y agoTo be fair this wayland issue is also niche. Author of the linked article wrote that this is reported by really small percentage of users most of the people do not notice it.
