Wayland design choices are heavily influenced by automotive and TV where it has been industry standard way before it became mostly usable as a desktop. And that has lead to design compromises that look odd on desktop.
But hey, you can probably run automotive UIs with your desktop compositor.
And Gnome devs are just being silly at this point.

It's pretty much the desktop stack now.
- Telemakhos 9mo agoI miss the 1990s Benz 190E I used to drive: the only electronics in sight were the tape deck/radio. Even the door locks ran off a vacuum system. I will never buy a car that runs an X-windows server.
- sho_hn 9mo agoIt's a Wayland compositor, not an X-windows server!
