    GNOME devs are purposely slowing down the development at freedesktop.org

      Linux on desktop was either hobbyist shit, or used in extremely niche shit like 3D rendering workstations with fully bespoke software, who we're never going to change.

      Without commercial users to drive sane development, it moved slow and it took a long for insane design decisions to start get fixed. Foremost privileged protocols, Wayland core devs are allergic to it and yet Wayland is completely useless without them.

      >GNOME devs are purposely slowing down the development at freedesktop.org
      Freedesktop is what is making Wayland usable, they are picking up the necessary bits core Wayland is refusing to incorporate.

    the devs are incompetent and haven't made much progress in the last decade, and have resorted to trying to bully users into migrating to it. Xorg will outlive Gayland

        Imagine feeling superior because you waste your time on video games and posting on a Himalayan salt lamp licking forum.
        Clearly they're the better waste of time.

      Xorg is bloated shit but a new graphical client/server model should have been written instead of wayland shit. Tying the desktop that closely to the kernel is Windows tier garbage and only stupid fucking code camp trannies think otherwise.

    Nothing, it's the default in every major Linux distro that ships a desktop supporting it, and the desktops that don't are actively working to.

    Same thing as with other "mainstream" desktop linux software like gnome3. Developers prioritize their own religious ideal over making good, usable software. Most of the time and funds are diverted to things that are not developing good software. They are not very competent either, which doesn't help.

    It was supposed to be a "graphic protocol for modern computers" but failed to be one

    I'm using it right now, and I've developed applications for it, nothing seems to be wrong. It's a lot nicer than developing for X

      this is cunningly evil
      point 1 is deliberately outrageous and plainly wrong so that the reader automatically discredits the other points, which are actually true
      a common trick used by states & corporations to frame certain truths as ""conspiracies""

        I wouldn't doubt that M$ posts about Linux being bad. M$ made WSL for a reason to keep them on their platform while offering "the best of Linux".

    Nothing, wayland still has some things to get right. You can't share screen on Discord or do some things, but wayland is more private in that regard. Wayland also has better performance than X and better multi monitor support.
