Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?

No. Maybe in 5 years when the protocol isn't bare as fuck. Right now things that were standard in X have to be reimplemented separately in every compositor or library.
I'm talking about things like screenshots, color pickers, and redshift.

Never ever, gnomefags won't cooperate with anyone, KDE doesn't seem to be making much progress, other DEs don't care, wm's will have to write/use 3rd party libraries for lots of shit that wasn't necessary on xorg.

So basically nothing new in the land of soy and FOSS
Parker Peterson
Jesus, I hope not. Wayland was a mistake.
Sebastian Howard
How many years has it been already?
Evan Rodriguez
10 years at least.

Nobody can stop bitching long enough to get any work done. I love Linux and all that, but it's community is a bunch of whiny twats. Everything is a controversy with these people.
Luis Jenkins
Why couldn't they stop bitching about Mir?
Matthew Long
Canonical hate bandwagon, though not without precedent. Ironically, this time they were doing something good and now were's stuck with Wayland.
I'd stop bitching if Wayland amounted to something. But it's been in development for 10 years and it's still beta for all intents and purposes. In the same time the X protocol was already stabilized on version 11 and widely deployed throughout the industry.
And don't give me that bullshit about community-developed software. Wayland is sponsored by huge corporations like Samsung.
