> Also, I can take screenshots just fine on Wayland via KWin. I can't pick arbitrary 3p apps just yet but KWin's screenshotter is fine.
Maybe in another nine years Wayland users can choose whatever screenshot tool they want. X is annoying but I'd go crazy if that was my life.
Or you can use a different tool that supports Wayland now.
Or you can can add Wayland support to your favorite tool now (assuming it's open-source).
> Those aren't inherently insecurities, but the way X implemented them was quite insecure.
In what way does X.org add any security holes to the average Linux desktop where you have programs (from a trusted package repository) which can access everything your user account can?
These are very old issues and are some of the major reasons Wayland was started in the first place. May want to read up on what the problems identified by the project were when it started considering all X maintainers migrated their time and energy to Wayland.
I have zero interest in a low trust computing model because that comes with a cost to usability and performance, especially for power users but not also for others.
I also get that most commercial software developers these days should be treated as adversaries because they will break any trust you place in them. The correct response to that should be to not use their software or to create and enforce laws to get them to behave. This is really no different to anti-social behavior outside cyberspace - we have laws and police to enforce them precisely so that we can walk the streets alone without fear and leave our homes unattended. The degree of that safety varies greatly around the world and I much prefer living in places where I don't have to have bars in front of my windows. The same applies to computers.
Eg, this completely excludes Steam. Laws aren't a good way to deal with the issue because they don't prevent damage. Try and sue some guy living in Russia.
