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.

    wasn’t it thought for kiosk applications, then extended to login screens

    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.
