Yes, I made it using a laptop’s trackpad, how could you tell?
[Image description: Panel 1: Young man confidently walking, his vest bears the Wayland logo. Behind him is a grunt with the Gnome logo on his face holding a katana. The young man says: “It’s high time you retire, old man!” Panel 2: An old man with a long beard and the Xorg logo on his chest is sitting on a throne and petting a rat, the XFCE mascot. He says: “It’s still a hundred years too early for you to defeat me!” ]
Today, X is like the horse and buggy proponents, claiming the car isn’t feasible cause you can’t get gasoline in every town.
It’s the systemd drama all over again
No.
System D was/Is a philosophical debate.
Wayland vs X is a mortal attempting to summit Mt. Everest naked. Everyone is cheering Wayland on, no one believes it’ll succeed.
Even the X people are like “Honestly it’d be a relief if you pulled this off, we’re so tired, please end us”
Everyone is cheering Wayland on, no one believes it’ll succeed.
Uhhmm. I think by now most see it inevitable with distros and DEs switching on increasing pace
No one thinks it’ll succeed? Obviously you and I exist in very different parts of the linux sphere, cause I’m pretty sure X11 is all but dead as a project and its kinda just a question of how long it takes for Wayland to be feature complete enough to reach a critical mass of adoption. And its kinda feeling like we’re currently on the cusp of being there with the major DEs moving towards discontinuing X11 support 😅
This software has been in development for a long time and still doesn’t work for my niche usecase and this therefore UNUSABLE and DOOMED TO FAIL
- Actual Linux users, completely oblivious to the irony of that sentence
