You could use most of those arguments verbatim and unironically create a page titled "Please don't promote X11". Meanwhile, some of the Wayland-specific complaints were solved a while ago and some weren't even Wayland's fault to begin with.
I get it that some people don't want give up the old systems in favor of the shiny new technologies. I'm also on that side for some software like systemd (not debating. Systemd does offer many compelling benefits). But this article feels like complaining for the sake of it, rather than making reasonable detractions that could perhaps be addressed in Wayland. Attacking a software for just existing isn't a good strategy in FOSS. It is fundamentally about having choices.
- wmf 1y agoYeah, I agree with the author that we should simplify Linux... by dropping X11 completely. While we're at it we could also drop sysvinit, RPM/DEB/Snap, ifconfig, wget, etc.
- A907 1y agoI wouldnt say drop rpm deb ir ifconfig or wget but specially not snap But each of these tools should be in its proper space rpm and deb should remain in system composition not installting user installed packages for that you have snaps and flatpaks
