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.
Not the op but wasn’t it thought for kiosk applications, then extended to login screens, then lauded as the savior from Xorg, while causing another promising attempt to give up?
Technical side, i dont see the exact opposide extreme to Xorg (Having everything merged in the WM vs. having most in the server) as the solution, will lead to lots of maintainability issues and fragmentation. Better would have been where the Display Server has some common elements and a sane approach to modularity.
No, that’s a really pervasive myth, spread by trolls.
Wayland - or rather, Weston - first came into use in the embedded scene because things are a lot simpler to change there and the limitations of Xorg even more unforgiving… But it was never designed for that purpose alone, it was always meant to replace Xorg everywhere.
