Why would anyone use this? Imagine choosing to have reduced functionality of your desktop like no screenshots , more lag and stuttering in day to day use and not being able to use most of your programs. xorg isn't perfect but Wayland is garbage.

the thing about wayland is that it's garbage by design
imagine having to reimplement the display server every time you wanna write a new wm and no standardization whatsoever
since every compositor is different, you can't have a single keybind daemon for example that works across all of them
it's complete and utter garbage and it will never be widely adopted
xorg will never die until an improved xorg-like solution comes about
wayland is a colossal pile of rancid nigger turds

X is absolute, unadulterated, pure fucking garbage, and I wholeheartedly welcome the advent of Wayland, or literally any other display server/protocol that comes along and takes X to the fucking gallows once and for all.

The model as a whole is extremely outdated, visibly inefficient, insecure, and it such a fucking mess of spaghetti code and extensions and life support that only a few people on the planet still understand how to actually maintain it. Their opinion on X? "Kill it with fire, please."

For a group of people that love to lambaste Windows users for having "babyduck syndrome", I've never seen more babyducks when it comes to the retards peddling the "x-xorg just werks" shit and spreading dumbfuck FUD about Wayland. (Of course, in all fairness, it doesn't help when all the distros out there wanted to be the first kids on the block to use Wayland and started pushing it out before it was 100% ready, leading to the average retarded joe to swear off of it.)

Similarly, for a group of people that jerk themselves off over software minimalism, there sure are a lot of people that love to suck the bloated dick of X. The same people who cry "Systemd does way too much for an init system!" seem to have no problem with all of the shit a display server shouldn't be doing, and they're too fucking retarded to understand that the Wayland protocol will eventually/has already gotten standardized extensions/addons for the sorts of shit they're bitching about (for instance, screensharing is now implemented under Pipewire, which on a side note, will kill another cancer, PA, eventually)

Simply put, and in simple user terms--X is responsible for a lot of the jankiness of the Linux desktop (as you'd expect of a display server that's been kept on life support for 30 years), and when Wayland is eventually adopted, it'll go a LONG way towards bringing Linux to the fucking 21st century.

X11 is meant to be a window server and drawing protocol (draw rectangle here, text here, ext.)
THATS what was network transparent.
But over time it's just devolved into a clunky system for copying framebuffers between clients and the compositor

The idea was:
X server (GUI terminal) X client (running on Mainframe)

As you can tell, this dates back to a time where your GUI was just a simple front end for all the intense computation happening on the mainframe.

Also when X11 was made, shared libraries were borked, so it also worked to save RAM; since having all your drawing code on the X server kept it from being duplicated in each application.

But don't take my word for it, here's one of the X devs:

>X is absolute, unadulterated, pure fucking garbage
this may be true, but wayland is infinitely worse

is it tho?

nvm figured it out

>no screenshots
Not true
>more lag and stuttering
Not true
>not being able to use most of your programs
Not even close to true. There's fucking xwayland.
