> Quite some emotions, also in the linked article about XLibre, from someone not emotionally invested in software. An emotional impact from a piece of software’s failures is not the same as being emotionally invested in a piece of software. I have not emotional investment in my NIC’s firmware: I honestly don’t care about it, I don’t think about it. But if it stops working, or starts flooding my LAN with random packets, then I will care. Likewise, I am not personally invested in Wayland vs. X11. I am emotionally invested in the way I use my computer, in my editor, my terminal, my web browser and my window manager: as long as a Wayland implementation supports all of them without regressions, then I really don’t care if my distribution continues to support X.org. But when no Wayland implementation supports my software stack, I care that my distribution continues to support X.org. And if folks associated with Wayland were to try to smuggle needless incompatibilities with X.org into software I use then I would be upset.
