GUIs are tough in open source because they need way more than just code. You need UX designers, testers, feedback loops, and infrastructure — stuff most volunteer projects can’t sustain. That’s why devs can dogfood CLI tools but GUIs are

I'm using Wayland exclusively for 4 years now on Archlinux (may be more, I forget). At this point, it is better than X11. It still has bugs, but then so does X11. Fractional scaling is fixed in Plasma 6 though. So, if you need that, it

Wrong analogy. You have no idea how wrong you are. Just look at the difference in performance analysis tools for AMD and Nvidia for GPUs. Nvidia makes it simple for people to write GPU programs.

You misunderstand their purpose. They would rather be in power in a failed company than see a company succeed without them having power.
