Most people who criticise X like you have no idea what they're talking about. The parallels you're drawing are childish and indicate an extremely shallow understanding of the issues at hand.
- yeetaccount 5y agoWell you don’t have to listen to me, the X maintainers have said Wayland is the way forward and they’ve stopped developing X as of several years ago. It’s silly this is still an issue.
- destructionator 5y agoThey themselves also said there's no technical reason why they couldn't easily keep using X. They just didn't want to. <https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html#heading_toc_j_5 https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html#heading_toc_j_5> So it is putting their own selfish desire for fun and personal glory above the good of the linux community and ecosystem. This deserves zero respect.
- kaba0 5y agoThat’s just bullshit. X is architecturally bad, which makes sense considering that it came from a time when there were no goddamn GPUs at all! Wayland is closer to the hardware what we actually use, so an implementation can actually be more lightweight, and it cuts out all the legacy shit from X and starts from a sane abstraction. As an actual X maintainer put it: “ You can only apply so much thrust to the pig before you question why you're trying to make it fly at all”
