  • At this point, I'm half convinced that someone with $100k in api spend of Fable tokens can create a better replacement for X11/Wayland, and patch all common open source apps to leverage it.

  • Wayland should expired, Wayland is architectural failure plagued with bad design decisions, xlibre is gaining momentum and it is not broken piece of a pile

  • I am not a fan of Wayland. I've not really bought the value proposition; and see also:

    what's more - this seems like yet another RedHat/IBM project which destroys variety and flexibility in favor of their problematic choices, often with a degradation of functionality. systemd, Wayland, GNOME - and of course nothing would run on BSDes, heavens forbid.

    With X11 seeing renewed, independent work via https://xlibre.net - why not embrace _that_ rather than go down the crooked Wayland path?

  • I really don't like Wayland, I recently (last Friday) had to revert back to X because somehow they messed up enough that in Zoom screensharing during a meeting with XWayland can crash my audio drivers.

    At this point I don't know who it is for, but it's not for users.

  • > EGLStream support is removed

    Wait, does this mean Nvidia won't have GPU acceleration for apps under XWayland anymore? Or is EGLStream not what I think it is?

  • Nice. XWayland has been a key transitional piece we'll still need for a while.
