Quite the unpopular opinion, but I just wanted to post this to show the silent majority that we still exist. We have reached a point where voicing criticism against wayland is treated like the worst thing ever and leads you to being censored and what not. The red hat funded multi year long shill campaign has proven to be quite successful. Now do the same for immutable distros and every new buzzword that restricts your ability to make changes to your system and the long term plan of completely sabotaging the linux desktop will finally come true. That is all.
I actually agree. Wayland is good on new AMD hardware with high refresh rate triple monitor setups. But on common non-gaming hardware it’s just a disadvantage, especially in terms of accessibility (yes I know it’s improving now but it’s still far from X11). If you’re an advanced Linux user, Wayland is a good thing. But if you’re a regular person who uses the computer for office work and YouTube, it is not. The problem here is that the most popular distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL) enable it by default or completely remove X11 support. If you’re a gamer and you need Wayland’s features, you’re most likely advanced enough to use it but there are limitations and bugs that regular users will not want to deal with and/or fix using terminal commands. Wayland is probably the future but it is not the today. Making it the default makes Linux desktop a little bit more of a hacky tool for geeks than it was with X11+optional Wayland support. Oh and good luck using Wayland on NVidia 800 series and older
