Quite the unpopular opinion, but I just wanted to post this to show the silent majority that we still exist. We have reached a point where voicing criticism against wayland is treated like the worst thing ever and leads you to being censored and what not. The red hat funded multi year long shill campaign has proven to be quite successful. Now do the same for immutable distros and every new buzzword that restricts your ability to make changes to your system and the long term plan of completely sabotaging the linux desktop will finally come true. That is all.
Ah yes, everyone who disagrees is a shill. How productive.
The funny thing is, the people in the comments have done a much better job than you at providing actual arguments as to why Wayland isn’t great.
But here’s the thing about Wayland: it can and will get better. Unlike X11, the codebase of the various Wayland compositors isn’t 30 years of hack after hack making it an unmaintainable mess.
If we want to make desktop experiences that rival Windows and MacOS, we have to make these kinds of changes. If we want to adapt to changing computing landscapes, we have to make these changes.
Wayland isn’t perfect but the Linux desktop world is in a much better place with it than without it.
