This "Wayland thing" is what the X devs would rather work on instead of X. It's the future. Best to rip the Band-Aid off now.

Perhaps if the X devs want people to migrate, they should consider giving Wayland all the features of X. Otherwise people are going to keep using the thing that works.

> all the features of X
I don't think Wayland should add a print server ;)

No, but there should exist a print server that Wayland applications can use. I don't object to refactors and replacements, but the underlying features should still exist.

There's 0 point in making a new software if you're just going to inherit all the fundamental design flaws that make the original software unmaintainable.

I used Windows 7 until Steam stopped working. The band-aid stays on.

GPUs live in desktops and phones, but apps live in remote datacenters, so the future seems to be sending rendering commands to Javascript frontends on end users' browsers.
