Wayland is trash and the fact that we are fourteen years into its life (YES, FOURTEEN) and still can’t get it working right is a good indication that we need to abandon it.
lol, I don’t get why people keep using this argument…
All of these developers, companies, toolkits, DEs and various other projects have decided that it’s easier to literally rewrite the entire Linux desktop than to continue hacking Xorg.
In fact they don’t want to touch Xorg so much that they’re willing to spend 14 years (and counting) replacing it.
And you see this as indication that Wayland is trash?
Yes, you can. Seriously, people act like Xorg is some immutable black box no one can touch. IT’S FREE (AS IN FREEDOM) SOFTWARE. FIX IT.
Go right ahead. Start by adding per monitor refresh rate.
Every time I’ve used multimonitor in the past (I hate it, why the hell does anyone want to look back and forth between a bunch of monitors and get a pain in their neck when alt-tab and proper window management on a single monitor works far and away better), it just seemed to work in Xorg. I don’t think people know what Xorg is really capable of and are making excuses why this new Wayland trash needs to be used.
Because that’s all it is. Excuses to use something new and shiny and exciting. This whole movement of “we have something new” has forced so many projects into supporting it by giving them basically no choice. “This is the future, if you’re not with us you’re against us” mentality holding them hostage and forcing them to adapt. It’s pathetic.
