Just because it's from a self-described short seller doesn't mean it's not factually true. Short sellers obviously are incentivized to be uncharitable and focus on the negatives, but that also serves to bring the negatives to

One of the unfortunate things about Wayland is every compositor will have its own quality of implementation affecting things like latency. With XOrg, especially in the pre-compositing days, you could choose whatever WM you want and it would
