  • Just don’t pretend Wayland is a fad that’s going away in a couple years

    No one said anything like this. I’m only saying people are pushing it to hard. For majority of users it doesn’t offer anything of value. It’s good that modern replacement for X was created but I’m not even sure if Wayland was the best choice. It’s just what we got stuck with. It’s ok to use but some people are really obsessed with it.




  • Those things couldn’t be more different. Or did you spend lots of time to make your Linux environment work exactly like your Windows did?

    I have my environment set up exactly the way I want. Moving to Wayland you mean replicating all the keyboard shortcuts, all the scripting and automated actions and re-implementing all the custom widgets. Because they work the way I want them to work. From what I’ve checked Wayland doesn’t even have tools that can be extended as easily as my WM. I would have to use some less popular tools with little documentation or struggle writing things in C++. And if I did all this I would have a setup that works the exact same way but is on Wayland. What would I gain besides bragging rights?
