    Wayland because it works for a majority (but not all) and still doesn’t have some basic functionality despite having been in development for near 20 years (eg custom window placement).

    It may eventually be good, but it is taking a goddamn lifetime to do it. Completely mismanaged imo.

      Maybe what you call “basic functionality” isn’t as “basic” to implement in code. Or maybe there aren’t that many people that consider those functionalities “basic” (me for example).

      All in all the hate towards wayland just does more harm than good and people limited on complaining and hating maybe should consider ways of actually improving it.

        This is bullshit. I have no duty to be loyal to any project. Wayland in particular has been so mismanaged it’s still fighting for dominance after decades and still can’t reproduce the functionality we had in the '90s. All that effort could have been put into refactoring and updating X11 instead.

        Everyone else has literally done it. Even X11.
