Yes, I made it using a laptop’s trackpad, how could you tell?

[Image description: Panel 1: Young man confidently walking, his vest bears the Wayland logo. Behind him is a grunt with the Gnome logo on his face holding a katana. The young man says: “It’s high time you retire, old man!” Panel 2: An old man with a long beard and the Xorg logo on his chest is sitting on a throne and petting a rat, the XFCE mascot. He says: “It’s still a hundred years too early for you to defeat me!” ]

    No.

    System D was/Is a philosophical debate.

    Wayland vs X is a mortal attempting to summit Mt. Everest naked. Everyone is cheering Wayland on, no one believes it’ll succeed.

    Even the X people are like “Honestly it’d be a relief if you pulled this off, we’re so tired, please end us”

      No one thinks it’ll succeed? Obviously you and I exist in very different parts of the linux sphere, cause I’m pretty sure X11 is all but dead as a project and its kinda just a question of how long it takes for Wayland to be feature complete enough to reach a critical mass of adoption. And its kinda feeling like we’re currently on the cusp of being there with the major DEs moving towards discontinuing X11 support 😅

        X is 36 years old. Wayland is 15. Wayland was not the first attempt at unseating that throne and for the sake of all our sanity, I hope it’s the last. I don’t want Wayland to win because it’s better, I want Wayland to win because I’m tired of trying to use it and having to go back to X because it broke something.

        This software has been in development for a long time and still doesn’t work for my niche usecase and this therefore UNUSABLE and DOOMED TO FAIL

      Uhhmm. I think by now most see it inevitable with distros and DEs switching on increasing pace
