Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it’s not easy as “Wayland support? Yes” (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it’s not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.
When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used
Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.
Why would someone stay with x even though it’s deprecated, architecturally broken and unmaintainable
This is a thread about slow uptake by programs of Wayland.
X works for me.
Right. And I’m interested if there are some legitimate needs for you to run x until it stops working.
Or is this just a revolt?
Is it really ? It works as expected and never crashes. Xorg’s git is active.
Xorg was started in 2004 and Wayland in 2008 At this point they’re almost the same age…
Depends on the timeline.
X crashed way more for me on kde than Wayland on gnome. ‘Never’ is quite the statement.
Yeah that was also concerning to me.
