Is wayland stil the future?

Literally the only WMs worth using on Linux are for X.
Jaxson Bennett
No, X11 has gotten infinitely better over the last 20 years
Liam Gonzalez
It is. Quoting xorg shills, "x is feature complete and optimized" so go ahead and use that for the rest of your life. But don't bad mouth Wayland because you don't understand the technical reasons or think it failed because it isn't ready yet. Things takes time and if you read decade old presentations devs like the KDE ones successfully predicted that it would take a long time simply because there isn't enough volunteers for the remaining 80% of work (and 80% of it is already done).
It's just a shame that a lot of horse (human) power is wasted on GNOME. In a perfect world you would have KDE as the main Linux front and the "GNOME" devs would focus on their orthogonal projects but KDE as the DE/WM, but without the power to fuck the project with their nazi approach. I like a lot of GNOME related projects like Flatpak and they have a lot of good devs.

What are the technical reasons for Wayland? Where does X fall short in your opinion?
Daniel Barnes
can't you you tube?
yes. who do you think made it?
Ayden Walker
>can’t you you tube?
What a cop out. I want your opinion, or do you not actually know anything about display servers?
Gabriel Stewart
what does some random faggot's opinion matter when you can hear it from the horses' mouth?
Jayden Jackson
no, it performs very very badly still. everything grinds to a halt just plugging a 4k tv into my gtx 1070 under wayland running nothing but gnome. 4k video playback and 3d graphics totally fine under X
Cameron Bennett
You wrote your blog post I figured you’d have something to back it up. X is about as likely to be replaced as the Linux kernel. Like it or not it is the de facto standard display server protocol.
