Wayland Core Protocol Is Tailored Only for Gnome and That’s Not a Good Thing

I'm not asking for full-on 3D acceleration with vsync. Just use the fucking VESA framebuffer instead of making my laptop look like it snow crashed. People should not have to throw out otherwise working hardware because a bunch of nerds who weren't bullied enough in high school don't feel like putting in some effort.

Then use the old version of Linux that works with your hardware. Why other people should care about your ancient hardware. You can either fund work to provide support or write code yourself and see how easy it is.

I was using until recently Sandy Bridge platform, and It works fine. I am not expecting that it would be supported forever. There is a lot of performance and maintainability left on the table because of support for old devices. If anything, I wish for Linux world for more aggressive deprecation policy.

You can just leave Linux community, nobody will miss you.
