Major distros are soon switching to versions of desktop environments that use Wayland instead of X11. This is a bad state of affairs for accessibility.
therefore, changes have to be forced on users in order to test and fix em in vivo and advance the platform and it’s def a “build a plane while flying it” type of deal. there’s immense pushback for every new tech forced on users - systemd, pipewire, wayland, etc. - ignoring the reality of the landscape.
Bullshit. You can simply look at the reality around you and know about some of the important things to expect, without (or at least, before) needing to treat your (production) userbase as actually a bit below than interns / unpaid workforce. There was no way the devs would not have known eg.: clipboard would have been an issue as this would have been become apparent as soon as anyone went “but what if I want to use my password manager with this?”.
